Seemed a little understaffed - took around 15 minutes before water and the offer of drinks was made. Not the staff fault as only one person on for the entire outdoor area and he did a great job, when time allowed.

Great venue that I enjoy to attend and meet friends. Terrific coffee and food servings are very generous. Today though we were repeatedly asked to place a food order every few minutes by more than 1 attendant even though we were told to take our time. It was a quiet day today so I guess they were being super attentive.

I had booked online and asked for a particular table. This spot was honoured. Thank you. The staff were prompt, polite and most accomodating. The food was scrumptious. Highly recommend the Food Republic. Been supporting this local business for years and it never disappoints. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Overall nice place for lunch. Some meals seemed a little small for the price point. Suggestion: Bathrooms need a bit of a revamp with layout. There is an accessible toilet available, but is not practical for those who require access with some space (or wheelchair friendly).
