    We had a lovely family dinner and were impressed by the service. The waitress was really accommodating of our messy toddler, offering thoughtful suggestions for kid-friendly options. The whole family enjoyed the meal, but it was especially wonderful for our coeliac daughter, who loved the great gluten-free options available. Thank you!

    Disappointed with the steak advertised as a fillet but was a sirloin and a little fatty for me. The rest in the party were delighted with their choices. Overall a great night nevertheless

    What a fantastic restaurant! The food was outstanding as was the service. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. When one of the sides was delayed it was offerred to us as complimentary. Sitting at the bar was so much fun. We could watch all the activities in the kitchen area and had instant access to staff if we needed to request anything. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone after great food and service.

    Pizzas at Lagune Artisan are second to none - crispy crusts, light bases and delicious toppings. Service was great, friendly and quick (but not too quick). Nice buzzy atmosphere and casual vibe. Really enjoyed the evening - will definitely be back.
