   Great location, great venue especially with the various separate dining and drinking areas and also with live music/DJ on the night we were there (Saturday night). The noise level is however quite extreme in some of the dining areas and it makes it almost impossible to have a conversation. Unfortunately and on an overall, it turned out to be quite a disappointing experience as the food was quite average/below average. The garlic bread bites hardly tasted of garlic. Nice concept and nice presented, but hardly any garlic taste. The pizzas were quite average. Worst of all was the Tiramisu and that is not good at all for an Italian restaurant. Again, nicely presented, but hardly any coffee taste and almost only cream, which tasted nice, but this could hardly be called a Tiramisu. Rather a glass of nice tasting cream. Such a missed opportunity for this place. Our request for a separate table when making the booking was totally disregarded. We did end up being seated at a separate table in a more quiet dining room after requesting it in person on the night and there were more than enough of these separate tables available in that room. We were 3 younger and 2 older people in the party that night, celebrating the 20th birthday of a young girl/visitor from overseas - it should have been and it could have been such a great night, but unfortunately, that did not happen and we all agreed, that this was quite average and none of us will be returning any time soon.

   Dined at Justin Lane for dinner with a friend on Tuesday 18 March 2025. The ambiance was nice and service was ok, but they did forget my drink order and I had to prompt them. We both had pizzas, (seafood, and Justin Lane Deli) which we thought were a bit pricey for the limited toppings which we would describe as ‘scarce’, and overall they were average pizzas., The apparent owner/manager was present within the venue and I could see he took great pride in his restaurant and keeping an eye on everything, which was admirable.

   We sat in the rooftop area. Food was really delicious. We had the flatbread, the spaghetti with prawns and chilli, Justin’s carbonara and the kids menu spaghetti bolognese. All of the meals were fantastic. Staff were warm and friendly. Atmosphere was good. Would definitely go back again!

   Our food and drink orders were taken at the same time and our starters came before our drinks.Four in our party got their starters first and had almost finished before the remaining three got their starters.The starters were the best part of the meal.Most of the main meals were disappointing,I had the prawn spaghetti and it was horrible,the pasta was claggy and the prawns anaemic. Overall,it was a disappointing experience and we wouldn’t go back which is a shame as we have had takeaway pizzas from here before which were delicious.
