Excellent is the only word to start describing the experience here. It's hard to find a place that truly stands out from others. The service is second to none and the place is cozy and inviting. The dining room was full and the staff did not skip a beat, consistently delivering warm, engaging and genuine interaction throughout the evening. From the moment you are greeted to the time you leave the team make you feel welcome. The food is delicious and inspiring. We were recommended to order the Feed Me menu. That hit the spot perfectly. The pickled baby cucumbers were my favourite dish even though it's really hard to pick a favourite. I cannot recommend Lagoon Dining highly enough and I'm looking forward to coming back very soon.

Such an incredible environment with even better food and the staff are exceptional! They didn’t rush us, even though we were running slightly late due to waiting for a family member and they provided excellent quality care and service. Highly recommend.
