    Great place to take industry partners or staff from other universities out to strengthen relationships and boost prospects. Only issue was it was too loud and I struggled to hear the person next to me. Great food and good service.

    Food was good and it's a nice environment for conversation. We seemed to have been forgotten about by the servers, though.

    The staff is friendly, and the food is fast, which is great for diners with limited time. The setting is comfortable, which creates a memorable moment for diners, especially for guests to the establishment (in my case, my visiting guest from ADL).

    The food was excellent. There was a wide range of dishes to choose from. The service was excellent as was the ambiance. The Lounge is located in a very convenient location on the UNSW Sydney campus.
