    Really enjoyed the live music, food was nice but expensive. Drinks were very expensive and it was a bit annoying that I had to order everything on my phone when I was only sitting 3 metres from the bar. Seems silly as I wanted to walk up to buy a drink

    The Summer Lounge set up in the reserve on Banks st is a great innovation. Loved the music and atmosphere. The food is excellent staff very attentive all worked well and hopefully will be well supported by the community and will continue.

    The Crowded Hour is a great cafe. I love their Edithvale Summer Lounge in the park opposite the Life Saving Club. Highly recommend for an afternoon or evening drink and nibbles!
