★★★★☆“Visited Royal Saxon and tried the spicy parma and traditional parma. Both were well cooked and filling, with good flavors. Spicy parma had a nice kick, while the traditional one was classic and satisfying.”

★★★★★“, myself and my 3 girlfriends had the feed me menu last night it was amazing. I’d like to leave a message about Ella our waiter. She was unbelievable. She was so so so lovely to us we all said we never had a waiter as nice as her. She was so knowledgeable about the menu. I am ceoliac and have never experienced a restraunt being so cautious with cross contamination. It was truly unbelievable service from Ella from start to finish. She made our evening so pleasant and enjoyable and was constantly checking to see if we needed anything else. She even gave us more of a break before the dessert as we were full from the amazing food. The value for money for the feed me menu was incredible we are still talking about it. We left with 4 full boxes of food that we couldn’t finish. Please please pass this message onto Ella. Me and my girlfriends said we will definitely be back as she was honestly a breath of fresh air to deal with even though the bar/restraunt was so busy. Thanks again Can’t wait to come back”

★★★★★“We were here yesterday and enjoyed the drinks. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The manager, in particular, was very good at explaining the restaurant. Haven't had a chance to try the food yet, maybe next time. Love the backyard vibe!”

★★★★★“Popped in on Friday just after the lunch rush and got the $25 lunch menu. What great value I got the vegetarian burger which was divine, the falafel was so yum and so were the chips. I got a lemon lime and bitters as part of the $25 lunch menu. You can also get beer, wine or a soft drink. My wife got the chicken Parma which she loved. Service was great. The atmosphere was great. I would highly recommend checking it out. I can imagine it gets really busy so you might want to book.”
