    My friends and I recently ate at Meantime - The Entrance and loved the experience. The service was very friendly and the food was great. I was the only Coeliac that can't eat gluten and I was like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what to eat with everything being Gluten Free. I enjoyed my choices and the squid was really good. My gluten eating friends didn't notice the difference and also thought the food was great.

    Was greeted with a smile by a friendly/welcoming maître d who also seemed to be in charge. Service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Food was good, but a couple of items missed the mark.

    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.
