Extensive menu and excellent quality. Servings are generous and full of flavour and fresh ingredients. Service is very helpful and friendly and prices are great. I will be back!

The food was very average, it was ok but we won't be going back. One of the waiters was very good but that semi asleep waitress was to busy watching TV to take our order. Quite funny really.

In the past I've recommended Groove Train as a great place for after work drinks or a meal but after a recent visit I won't be doing this anymore. Our meals were very ordinary and tasted as if they had come out of a packet rather than made fresh, service was reasonable unfriendly. Highly unlikely that I will return.

Far too slow. This place would probably be ok if you're a tourist or it's the weekend and you have plenty of time, but if you're on lunch hour forget it. The food was fine, nothing special, but I was so fed up by the time it arrived I couldn't enjoy myself. Good spot on the river and convenient for the ferry.

Took our clients out to a casual lunch. Food was pretty average. I ordered the Lamb Kebab. Portion size looks big only to find that it was covered in grassy salad and very little meat. Lamb was dry and tasteless. Others seemed to enjoy their meals. I sampled my partners Calamari, was a little over cooked and rubbery.
Oh my meal came out last after everyone had finished eating theirs.

Staff were a little too laid back and not organised. We had to strain to get their attention. Not enough staff on floor for a lunch hour.

We went for a late lunch with a group. The menus is very extensive which always worries me. No one can really do that many varieties of food that well and with so many selections it has to be frozen and pre-made. Anyway, it turned out ok. I had a vegetable and polenta stack which was great. Others had pasta, pizza and burgers. All decent basic food. You would go back.

The price was reasonable and the service very friendly and efficient. The only thing that marred it was the 'no split bills' thing. Understand this is an issue for some restaurants but with wrangling between we even got it down to two cards. They wouldn't even do that. Well the tip disappeared after that. We were divided about that as some said it wasn't the waitress' fault but how else do you send a message. Once you've paid, management wouldn't listen to a complaint like that. Anyway, that means no group visits there.

Waited a ridiculous amount of time to be seated with no apology, just attitude. Food was pretty average, not terrible, but nothing to talk about. If you ask for something expect to wait at least 20 minutes, definitely will not return, your money is better spent elsewhere for sure.

Great location along the river and nice set up. It is a pity about the food. The food was edible but not great. I had the cheese and tomato omelette for breakfast and it was a tad burnt and not very tasty. The turkish bread was really focaccia bread which was not what I ordered.
