We were so impressed with everything on our night out at Lagoon. We booked and arrived in good time. The restaurant was very busy but well worth the little wait we had. The maitre d' was efficient and welcoming. We took a little while to make up our minds as everything sounded lovely. Our food was delicious, such good flavours. My husband who notices music more than I do said how perfect the music was to create a good ambience. We really enjoyed our evening and will return. Definitely a special night out - Keat is a brilliant chef!

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! We were a large group of 11 and a few had dietary requirements … everything was catered to well. They also accommodated for split bills which is not usually common for larger groups. We had the $49 set menu which was good value for money with a lot of variety. The team were friendly and seemingly calm although the place was packed.
