    It is always an enjoyable experience at The Lounge. The service is discreet, food is delicious and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. I was sorry to miss the specials, all sold out by 12.30pm.

    I am a visiting fellow from Japan. I used this lounge as a memorial because I will be back in Japan soon. The overall services are very good.

    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.
