    Excellent service and also extremely popular. The place was very busy. I would recommend it to those that want to go.

    We arrived for our Valentine's dinner and had a great starter. Then nothing happened! No palate cleanser and no main course. No waiter to pour our wine either. After 45 minutes we asked for our bill and were told that the main course was coming out immediately (still no mention of the palate cleanser which was part of the set menu). No main course appeared and despite it taking a further 10 minutes to get the bill organised no food came out of the kitchen even though the restaurant was now half empty. Valentine's day was ruined.

    The food is really good! Especially the pizzas! Great evening dining with friends and family. Reasonably priced. The only thing I didn't like - spotted a roach crawling behind us I know all food places have these issues which is why they need to get exterminators regularly. I think other than that, great experience overall.

    Consistent and excellent venue. It's not perfect, but I'm not sure you'd want it to be? A great place to meet friends and enjoy your time together

    The covered area in the front of the restaurant is not rain resistant and so some patrons do get rained on. Though it is a great venue.
    I do however highly recommend the Pork Belly dish! It's superb!

    Sunday lunch could not be better out on the patio with live music. Oxtail was fantastic and the Chicken & pasta delicious. The wrapped rump was very tasty and cooked rare as requested. The desserts were too tempting and we over indulged.

    Great place for a relaxing afternoon on the weekends. Evenings also always have a vibe. Fantastic food. I do believe that the menu needs a little update.

    Went here for after work drinks with a friend. We sat outside. The atmosphere was really lovely and the staff were attentive without being invasive. Pricing isn't too bad - you pay for what you get: a delicious cocktail. All-in-all, a nice experience and I will be back.

    Sunday afternoon's at Throbbing Strawberry are the absolute best now with Spring in the air, lovely food (with a great selection to choose from) and live music. It is a great way to unwind in preparation to start a new week.

    I love Thobbing Strawberry. The food is so amazing. Next time I hope they keep the fire lit. But the food is so worth it

    An eclectic vibe making everyone feel welcome.
    The food tastes homemade but with loads of love and flavor.
    The duck spring rolls is an excellent starter.
    For a good conversation kick, have a 'thorn in my side.'

    As far as restaurants go this one is truly a gem. As of late it has soared to a high level of popularity and is fairly booked out over weekends and public holidays. It would not harm you to book ahead to reserve an ensure that you have a table. If you don't mind a little cigarette smoke walking around here and there, definitely sit outside with the Sun on your back.

    TS has always been a place that I would like to like, but it is probably just not the right place for me. The venue is loud (even for our party of 6). The food is good, but not life changing. The music is distracting, so rather than adding to the atmosphere it detracts from it. We were lucky enough to be placed next to the fire, but even then the venue is cold. To add to the above it is not a cheap night out. There are better options which are not too far away for a good meal.

    Love the food. Unfortunately the service is terrible and I left like I had been in a smoking room. Definitely not non-smoking.

    Yum yum. Style, quality and taste. You will pay a premium, but well worth it. Stunning upmarket venue.

    Fantastic food. I've always been a fan but unfortunately the service has dropped. I think due to the large expansion, they're struggling with the demand of a new influx of customers. The food was always brought out quickly and promptly. I know hear other customers complaining about the time it takes for them to get their food. I've always sung their praises and brought friends for dinner there, but I am going to look elsewhere. A very sad day indeed.
