Forgot our order, ran out of clean spoons and my glass had food in it, generally needs a good clean, it was great in the past but is now missing the mark in the area of service, food is still Ok if it arrives, would not go back.

Given how many staff they have you'd think someone would be interested in the customers. That's pure statistics. We ended up helping ourselves to menus pinched from another table.

When everything tastes of salt, coriander and chilli you wonder what they are covering up? Lack of skills or frozen ingredients?

Great burgers and the service is second to none. Whoever the lady is who served me (tattoo on back) with the dark hair, you were wonderful especially considering I was a super-fussy customer. The barman remembered our drinks after one round and the waiters/waitresses were very attentive.

All in all, I didn't expect much and was so thankful that this turned out to be a super-yummy eatery with great service that I had to review them. My only suggestion is to not eat before going, their servings are huge! Thanks The London.

We went here on a Tuesday early evening with our 5yr old twins. There were not many diners, but plenty of dirty tables, it looked pretty unpleasant. We found a clean table and ordered 2 pizzas and a selection of tapas. The tapas were pretty yummy, and good portion sizes (we tried the Chorizo, Calamari, Onion Fritters and Scallops) but I would give the pizzas a miss, they had very thick bases and were very doughy and not much flavour. (but if you like your pizzas that way, then go for your life!).

There was a guy playing the guitar upstairs and he was great, it created a good atmosphere. We were also here on a Sunday arvo a few weeks ago, and there was a funky band playing upstairs, the place had a very cool feel to it.

I will go back for a few wines and tapas on a Sunday arvo sit outside for a great view of Lake Ginnenderra, and watch the (Canberra) world go by.

The stand-outs here were the friendly service and inventive menu. Given the surliness of the staff at most Canberra restaurants and cafes, Digress was a breath of fresh air. The food was fabulous too, and there were plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. The decor is also interesting and the ambience comfortable and stylish. The drinks menu features cocktails and mocktails, which is also a plus for someone who doesn't drink alcohol. We'll be back!

Overall it was quite a good experience. A few minor glitches along the way. The service was good, took a few minutes to catch the waitresses attention but after that she was particularly attentive and apologetic.

The food was impressive and a good sized portion for the pricing. The weekend was very busy so I would recommend booking but have since been back on a weekday and it is very quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a mid week coffee on the deck in the sunshine.

Noisy venue with ordinary decor, rude staff with a poor service attitude, uninspiring food with optimistic prices, ok drinks at anything but ok prices just about sums up the Kennedy Bar for us.

Omg - where do I start? Went there for lunch to celebrate a birthday. They lost our booking (we booked a week before). Wait staff were less than interested and we stood waiting to be seated for at least 10 minutes. They had advertised that they served alacarte lunch, all we were given was an all day dining menu, probably the same one for room service for the hotel.

The waiter argued about what we received as inclusions with our meals (although it was listed in black and white on the menu) and wanted to charge us extra. We were only asked for drinks once. We had to ask for pepper, salt and serviettes to be placed on the table. Overall a very disappointing experience and one we will not be repeating.

Unfortunately, Digress did not live up to its reputation. We ordered the banquet meal and did not get nearly enough food. When questioned, we were told that we could ask for more food. The extra food took 20 minutes to arrive and was not suitable for a work lunch. Digress should also check their menus as the 10" pizzas looked closer to 4".
