Came here for lunch. Well priced, food was pretty good for what you pay. Only negative was the wait. Over half an hour and I wouldn't say they were flat out.

Initially I was having a relatively good night, after maybe 2 drinks (both at dinner a few hours prior) I headed to Searle Lane for a bit of a boogie to finish off the night. All was going well until a young blonde security person asked me to leave as I was "too drunk". Obviously, surrounded by people who i knew to be drunker and several pills deep i disagreed but her bigotry and unwillingness to see reason led me to believe that this establishment is terribly bad. Lol. Maybe introduce breathalysers as your staff are in need of assistance.

Poor customer service. Waited almost an hour for a $10 dollar meal. Wait staff didn't apologise for the wait, even when I complained. Nearly nobody in the restaurant apart from two other tables whom ordered, received their food, paid and left before we seen the food. We seen them in the kitchen not doing much and chatting. Had to go back to class before our meal even reached the table - never seen the food. Will never come here for food again.

Decided to go to eat at Searle Lane as we had a 1 hour break, and with only two other groups (with 2 people per group) we assumed it would be fast service. WE WERE WRONG. The bad experience first started with no pizza, which was what attracted us in the first place as it was $5 pizza. After waiting almost an hour, we decided to see how much longer it would be as everyone else in the restaurant had both been given their meals and were ready to pay. It was then that we got told "it was just being plated" as we seen them rush and grab plates to start. After taking another 5/10 minutes to plate it, we seen the food ready to be served, by a waitress who knew we only had another few minutes before we had to be at class. She then decided to walk away and do other things than bring the food to us. So we left, very pissed might I add and without our food we waited so long for. Not happy at all!

Popped in here for lunch over the weekend. Great atmosphere and wasn't to busy. Wasn't overly impressed by the food but would go back for a drink. Pricing was reasonable.
