I was very impressed with the care taken to seat my disabled companion so that she was comfortable, her walker was out of the way, no one was bumping into her, and she didn't have to apologise for taking up too much space .... which is what she is usually forced to do.

We had a team lunch today and we managed to book an outdoor table. Food was great and staff were friendly and helpful. Food was served pretty quickly. Everyone was happy with their food. And we were able to pay separately. Perfect for bringing the team here for lunch. Will come back next time.

The food was very tasty and very good! I will go back next time to try other delicacies. We come from City. The only thing I hope is that the food is not too burnt. Of course everyone has different tastes. You can try asking the guest how much they need. Thank you

Everything was excellent. The noise levels are not your fault . People just seem to talk far too loudly, not sure why. I have been many times, and always like the fact that you have an indoor or outdoor choice. And that if you book, there is always a place to be. The staff are always very pleasant indeed .The food is always fresh and lovely and imaginative and well presented . Thank you so much, Marguerite

Staff were friendly and courteous, meals were delivered in a timely manner and were of generous proportions. Marked down a little for noise levels but only because it seemed a very popular restaurant with patrons.

We were celebrating a birthday today & had a table for 4 booked located EXACTLY where I asked to be seated. The service was excellent, our water bottles were replaced as soon as they emptied, the service efficient, the waitress was lovely… couldn’t do enough for us. I ordered the Japanese omelette with pulled pork & it was next level with regard to serving size and taste. My friends had food envy looking at my dish & commented that they would try it next visit. We took a birthday cake in and weren’t charged ‘cakage’ which I always appreciate. The food is very well priced & the sparkling wine is delightful. I would rate Food Republic as one of my top ‘cafe’s to visit. Well done team & Merry Christmas.
