The place looks beautiful and the food and wine list are great. Serves are very generous. The service was very slow and unprofessional when we were there although this was during the busy Christmas period so they seemed unprepared for the extra customers. I would still go back and recommend this as a great value place in the CBD.

Fantastic cafe, have only ever had coffee here but really enjoy going here. You can tell the owners take pride in the place as the service is excellent and it is always very clean and pleasant. Lunch is available approx $12 for a hot meal, with foccacias and sandwiches also on offer.

I recently started going to the gym again after not exercising for years. This one has a good selection of cardio and weight machines, spin bikes, boxing equipment etc. There are TVs and some music playing but overall it is pretty simple, which was what I was after not wanting to be paying for flash unnecessary things. The consultation you get at the start is fantastic and sets you up really well to succeed at your goals. All staff always incredibly friendly and helpful.

Went to a work Christmas function here. It is a fairly large complex so will have something to suit most people who come here. The food was a buffet set up and everything from mains to dessert was really spot on. The service was pretty minimal and basic, for example the waitress passing around a tray had no idea what the food she was handing out actually was. Overall a very pleasant, modern venue which would be good for the occasional meal for those who live close by. I can't comment on prices as I didn't organise the function.

What gets this place over the line for me is the beautiful building it is in and the business of the place which gives it a great atmosphere. The coffee is good but the meals I have had were just okay, satisfactory but nothing special. There is a great selection of cakes at the front, so next time I might try one of those with a coffee and skip the meal.

Food is Vietnamese-Chinese, there were 4 of us eating so we ordered a large variety of dishes and everything was great. The restaurant was clean and pleasant to be in. Prices were in line with nearby restaurants, so very reasonable. At this place you get the same quality food but in a pleasant setting. Some people will inevitably go on about it being less authentic then the dirty restaurants, but I had a great meal and will definitely head back to Sen.

Great as a local but definitely not a place you would go out of your way to visit. Beautiful old hotel building, lots of locals at the bar and gambling area. There is a separate meals area with a very large selection of dishes at very reasonable prices. Quality of the food is okay.

Great on a warm night as they can open up the whole front window. Tried pork belly for the first time which was pretty exciting! Saw people getting some appealing steak and fish dishes around me. Pretty good wine list also, available by the glass or bottle. It seemed like the man behind the bar owned the place as he was attentive to detail and generally provided a high level of service.
