   Our high school reunion group meet here quarterly for lunch. We always have a lovely time. The staff are friendly and attentive. I noticed this time however there had been a slight change to the menu and I could no longer have a RED wine with my lunch. They only offered Rose, sparkling and white - which I found both surprising and disappointing (as I had ordered red wine on previous occasions). This however will not affect our decision to dine at Friction in the future.

   Service was friendly and quick. Meals were reasonably priced and big serves. Table outside in the sun was perfect with kids.

   The ambience of the cafe was relaxed and inviting. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was fresh and delicious and their is a great variety on the menu. Coffee is always good, St Ali never disappoints. Overall, a lovely dining experience.

   We enjoyed coffees and a tasty Steak Frites Sandwich. Quick service with a smile in a lovely atmosphere. This is one of my favourite cafes.

   Normally this venue has good food but today I had the chicken tacos and the chicken was dry and oily and not very nice. Chips were good as usual. Bit pricy for what I got
