What a disappointment. Had lunch here prior to going to the exhibition of the Terracotta Warriors. The service was appalling, not only belligerant, but sloppy and indifferent. Luckily the food was nice. The noise level was so loud that you couldn't really hear your dining companions. At the end of the meal our change was virtually thrown at us with a brusque comment of' Hope you enjoyed your meal', as she walked off to the kitchen area. Never again.

Don't put yourself through one of the most disgraceful experiences I have had in recent times. The food so very average and overpriced. I had the curry. Bottled curry from Coles would have been far more impressive. We ordered drinks and when after half an hour they hadn't arrived, we investigated only to be told by the barman, 'Oh I thought I had done that one already.' No apologies. seemed miffed we had disrupted his conversation with one of the waitressing staff who was just as lazy in taking the food orders.

There would have been about 3 tables for dinner and everything took a week to arrive. Our table was placed just outside the toilets. The whole night was just horrible. A shame as I have been to MOS many times for breakfast and it has been Ok.

The service was impeccable. The waiting staff went out of their way to be considerate and informative. The food was very good however overpriced. It certainly wasn't value for money. A shame that the dining room is a bit soulless. Certainly pleasant but rather bland.

Service was good and the decor of Vietnamese hats on the wall was effective in creating a feel for Asis. I would have to agree with a previous comment that the mixed entree was excessive fro $18. 4 items each and rather pathetic particularly the money bags which were really very ordinary. Fried rice and Saigon Saigon pork was very tasty. Certainly go back, however, try a different entree would be my advice.

What a lovely little french bistro. Food was fabulous. You could work your way throught the menu. The service was fantastic. Not intrusive, considerate and professional. We had wine by the glass and the recommendation was fantastic - easily could have had more. Reasonably priced. The decor being all things French. Definitely recommend and definitely return.

Had lunch a couple of weekends ago. Food was very good. The gnocchi very rich and the lamb particularly tasty. The service was odd. Either very attentive or somewhat dismissive. There were a large number of waiting staff although some looked a bit lost. Definitely return, however, would try at night.

A bit disappointed. After reading the reviews made the effort to come here. We were confronted with serious attitude from the waitress who, before we even sat down, asked what we wanted to drink. At that point we hadn't seen the menu and when we took a little too long for her liking she snapped 'Well have you made up your mind'.

The pancakes were nice although the coconut was very, very subtle. The balance of the banana and sauce was good though. My companion had eggs which I believe were excellent. The cafe is small so you tend to be sitting on top of those around you. A nice breaky venue for those in the local area.

What a find! fabulous food. We decided to follow the recommendations by our waitress and she did a sensational job. We shared the pancake which was light and full of flavour. For mains we had the prawns and the pork. Beautiful presentation and well cooked. Just loved the experiene and although it isn't a cheap night out, it is well worth it. Definitely will be back.

Disappointing as the service was particularly poor. We waited half an hour for drinks and then 45 minutes for the bill. Shame as the food was ok. My selection certainly was not as nice as my dining companions. The pork belly was dry and the dollop of beetroot was overpowering and nearly ruined the dish. Having said that the entree, baked camembert was delightful.

I believe the mushroom fettuccine and the lamb were very tasty. Perhaps, it was the weekend, however, being so understaffed certainly made a negative impact on the night. The waiting staff were professional and efficient when they were avaialble. A shame there was not more of them.
