We always come here for Yum Cha. Over time, the food quality goes up and down depending on how busy they are.

However, despite all that, I still think they have a great selection for Yum Cha compared to others and as for taste, it is a good competitor.

Approximate cost: $5.00

We are regular at this place, whether it is for dine in or takeaway. Always find the food to be consistent, staff friendly and helpful and good value as the serves are adequate to generous.

We recommend that everyone give this business a try and be pleasantly surprised.

This place needs a renovation.

If it wants to offer silver service, then the decor needs to leave the 80's.

Food was ok, interesting take on Indian food. More of a modern, contemporary version.

Service was good. I'm glad that you get what you paid for.

Too bad i can not say the same for the food price. A little expensive for what you get. For example, four prawns in the biryani for over 20 dollars.

I would come back, but not in a hurry.

Approximate cost: $25.00

We love love this place. Love the simple trendy decor.

The food is always beautiful and well presented, although on the pricey side.

Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

They have great specials as well.

Highly recommend it.

We had lunch here one weekend. Walked in to a pretty empty place. The service staff was nowhere to be seen. We had to wait at least ten minutes before someone materialised. Having already decided, we put in our orders.

When the food came out, it was so average and bland and TINY.

We are not ever coming back here until they improve on everything.

Approximate cost: $17.00

This place is very interesting. As soon as you walk in, you will see that there once used to be a well, but is now covered by a super thick re-inforced piece of glass.

It was a little quiet the weekend we decided to go there for lunch.

The service was a tad slow, but understandable with only one staff on.

We placed our orders for drinks and food and when it arrived, we were not disappointed.

The chef here is adventurous, but believes in good quality, and fresh tastes.

I can see it has the potential to become a favourite haunt of the residents that lives in this area.

Approximate cost: $18.00

First timers here. Have to say we love the decor and the under the verandah dining. Food wasn't bad. Size was decent and we left very content.

Service was prompt and friendly.

Not a bad place overall. We would be happy to dine here again.

This is a very funky and trendy little hideaway on Wright Street. The chef loves to experiment with different combinations of food and is reflected in this cooking style and dish flavours.

We really enjoyed what we had here. The floor staff was super friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended.

Could become a very popular haunt for office workers. I believe their service could improve and their food less fatty could propel them there.

We had dinner there one night. It was relatively quiet with one staff on. We had to order our drinks at the bar. They came over to take our food orders. When it arrived, the portion was ok, not generous. Taste was simple, nothing extraordinary. The place was cold. We ate in a hurry so we can leave and head somewhere warmer.

This place has alot of potential. Hope they improve.

We came here one night to enjoy Mount Lofty House hospitality, and we were not disappointed.

The food took a bit long, and the service was slow, but they only had one staff on. When it did arrive though, it was definitely worth the wait.

Love the freshness and local produce they use as it is reflected in their dishes. Very impressed.

Highly recommend this place to those who enjoys fine dining in beautiful surroundings.

Approximate cost: $30.00
