Overall a good experience. The venue was great for a big group. Seated away from other diners. Table set out well. A bit disappointed with the food. Fish had too thick a batter. Diner had to remove the batter to eat fish. Vermicelli salad lacked a bit of taste. My steak was overdone. My husband's schnitzel was overdone. The chips were good. The prawn and chilli dish was very good. We enjoyed our afternoon at WPHSC but disappointed with the food.

We had a lovely dinner with friends at Twenty74. The service was great, the staff were very friendly and accomodating. Our whole table of 8 were very happy with their meals. Great place to experience a range of dishes, only thing missing was a coffee machine, but not a problem, would not hesitate to go again or recommend. Well done guys.

Staff were AMAZING! So friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Food was perfect and the absolute best value. My two girlfriends and I shared 4 starters and the serving sizing were generous, especially the bread with the dips, and everything was spot on. Will definitely be back

So excited that our favorite breakfast/lunch location is now doing dinners as well. Not the big range on the menu but everything we had was excellent. And do yourself a favour and finish off with a Dom Pedro, you can thank me later
