Mo and his team were amazing! There were 7 of us for an early dinner, including a 3 and 5 year old. Nothing was too much bother for these guys. Menu explained in full, recommendations made. Everyone's food was excellant. It's a long time since I received service of that standard. A fuss was made.of our grandson as it was his birthday. Little chocolate cake with a candle was organised, a lovely finishing touch. Perfect evening, thank you all. Dont change a thing!

Pleasant service and nicely cooked food. Restaurant is a little short of atmosphere. More wall coverings would help

I really enjoyed my pasta and prawn tagliatelle, it was not what I expected at first missing an ingredient but the waiter got this sorted very quickly and it was spot on. The lasagne was very rich and flavoursome according to my mother in law. I have a small appetite and the portion was just enough.very busy restaurant but staff are very swift and service excellent.

After a bit of a poor start as quite a few dishes had sold out due to a big party they redeemed themselves and both the food and the service was excellent. Giovani did a fantastic job.

Regina’s delivered an unforgettable Opera Night that blended elegance, atmosphere and incredible talent into one flawless evening. From the moment we arrived, the staff made everything feel special and the welcome was warm, the service attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the whole venue had a beautiful, intimate energy that set the tone for the night.. Every course was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly crafted with care. The timing between the dining and the performances was perfect, allowing us to enjoy each dish while still being fully immersed in the music The opera performances were the highlight, powerful, emotional and absolutely captivating. Hearing those voices so close, in such a cosy setting, made the experience feel personal and magical.

We were promptly taken through to the dining area after arrival and given a choice of tables. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive and had good product knowledge. The ambience was also good. I always enjoy eating here and will definitely revisit soon .

Loved our evening and the service was outstanding. The food was excellent except I would have loved a bit more beef in my ragu, apart from that delicious.
