   Unfortunately, a favourite in the past but not anymore. Something has changed. They are scrimping on ingredients and with only 50% of the restaurant full had no idea why we had to wait 45 + min for food. The staff are friendly but the food is disappointing. If you looking for a creamy pasta look elsewhere. The lavosh with Brie had all the promise of a great dish but the lavosh was inedible and the Brie was far from the warm gooie delicacy expected. After 5 years I think the time has come to say farewell. Sad

   Sadly very busy and took nearly 40’mins to get food and then they didn’t get the other meal out until the first one was completely finished - so I ate on my own. No offer for discount :( beautiful restaurant and the fish stew was awesome apparently the duck very bland .

   We had a great experience at Factory 51. The staff have been well trained and were very friendly and professional, the food was incredible and being able to see the kitchen staff working away added to the ambiance. Overall we were very impressed and will be back. Thank you.

   We’ve been to factory 51 a few times in the past and really had enjoyed the ambience, menu items and food. Unfortunately this last time missed the mark for us. Our main took over an hour to arrive (and it was a pizza). Other tables next to us on three sides with larger parties (there were two of us) ordered after us but received their meals at least 20 minutes before we did. That was not the biggest issue however, we were disappointed with our entree; baby calamari with zucchini fritti) . We did choose the small portion to share and it really was tiny. The zucchini were limp and unappealing and it felt oily, not a great start. Pizza was the Italian sausage and although the pizza crust was nice, topping was on the very light side and it just didn’t feel seasoned. We were hungry and ate it but our visit here really let us down. There was a really lovely lady attending the cashier who noticed we had been kept waiting on food, and although she did go check with the kitchen a few times, it was still slow. We did appreciate her kindness, which probably saved the experience to be honest.

   Great food at F51. We had gnocchi and a pizza with a delicious baby cos lettuce. Unfortunately we were in a blind spot so service was too infrequent albeit very nice when seen!

   Our group of four ladies has been meeting for dinner once a month since 2018, and Factory 51 has always been one of our favorite spots. We've dined here multiple times and are consistently impressed by the amazing food and exceptional service. The warm atmosphere and quality dining experience keep us coming back. Thank you, Factory 51, for always making our evenings special—we will definitely return!"

   The food was overall good, the tomato base sauce for pizzas was a bit too salty though. The service was alright besides one waitress that was a bit rude with us but the rest of the staff was really friendly and nice!

    Unfortunately, Valentine's Day seemed to have been too much for the staff they have available.
