    Very pleasant business lunch. Room had perfect ambience with the ability to connect and discuss important matters with our client. Service from Nick was spot on, informative, formal but still warm and charismatic. He was there when we needed him and offered appropriate space when we didn't. His timing for drinks/orders etc. was perfection. Would not hesitate to book another business lunch here or romantic dinner date for that matter.

    The food and drinks were sub par. Really disappointing small portions for the meals. The ambiance is nice so it would be good to go there with a group of people to talk and catch up because there’s nothing on the menu that will keep your mouth full.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, their new menu was interesting but also kept some of the favourites from the old. Our host Nick helped picking out some great cocktail selections, that really made the night excellent. A great team both front and back of house.

    Great location and food, atmosphere, service - all outstanding. Great choice to go before theatre performance at Arts Common. Really good options for share plates and cocktails. Sitting downstairs was a really nice atmosphere and very comfortable seating. Highly recommend.

    The ambience and cocktails were amazing! Definitely would recommend the popcorn (what a delightful treat) and the sea bass was incredible. I had a bite of the prime ribeye and the brussel sprouts and they were super tasty. The bacon jam that came with the prime ribeye was fantastic! The service was definitely 10/10!

    We really enjoyed the food at The Wednesday Room but it was our server, Chantelle, that really made our night. Cool vibe and very good food.
