Food is delicious, service is good, location is great. The staff are terrific with handling special dietary requirements, without making you feel like a nuisance. All round, a winner.

Monday night is Pizza night! Half price and full flavour with vegetarian options and a variety which makes me think of coming back ASAP. Book ahead or be disappointed- each table was taken or reserved at 6.15pm!

Food was great. Service was good but an open door had a considerable cold draft blowing on us for some time. Have spotted a cosier looking nook for our next visit.

Food was amazing and a great wine list. Service was very good and friendly - only marked down slightly because they forgot water and had to ask a few times for it. Apart from that it was a wonderful experience and would definitely go back and recommend to friends.

Sometimes good, sometimes average - this time very average. Food is getting more expensive and the chicken wings were deep fried and terrible. Service was just ok. Mr Lawrence could make a lot more money for drinks if they actually asked if the customer would like a drink.

The Turkish pizzas were magnificent and were on special at $10 each it being Monday night. We chose to eat there before boarding the Spirit of Tasmania, very close to the restaurant, for a Tasmanian holiday.

Good flavours and an interesting menu. We really liked the in house smoked trout. Good wine list and nice ambience- even if a little noisy. Ask for a table at the window... Nice water view!

Asked for the cauliflower fritters, they weren't fritters they were cauliflower dipped in a rubbish coating and half cooked. Also the server dipped her finger into our sauce bowl and then proceeded to say sorry but didn't get us a new one. Overpriced for not that great fod and the chairs were so bloody uncomfortable.

The food was great. The service very average. We sat and watched our drinks on the bar for 10 minutes. We finally gave up waiting and got them ourselves. The foreign waiter was gruff and he made you feel a pest.

As always, good food, great staff in a relaxing environment. The food is always freshly cooked and generous in serve. Mr Lawrence makes great Turkish pizza, meatballs and the best flat bread. The staff are friendly and efficient and keep an eye out for the needs of the diners. The room is warm and cosy with the wood fire and the views are so beautifully Melbourne Ports!

Given the amount of staff in the venue The service was exceptionally slow. It took 20 minutes to our first drinks order in. At the end of the night the staff mopped the toilet but didn't leave a sign. A member of our group fell and hurt herself
