Excellent is the only word to start describing the experience here. It's hard to find a place that truly stands out from others. The service is second to none and the place is cozy and inviting. The dining room was full and the staff did not skip a beat, consistently delivering warm, engaging and genuine interaction throughout the evening. From the moment you are greeted to the time you leave the team make you feel welcome. The food is delicious and inspiring. We were recommended to order the Feed Me menu. That hit the spot perfectly. The pickled baby cucumbers were my favourite dish even though it's really hard to pick a favourite. I cannot recommend Lagoon Dining highly enough and I'm looking forward to coming back very soon.

We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend
