Hi Richard
Rod & I would like to say a big thanks to both
you & all your staff, the level of service
& attention to detail was superb, all our
guests commented on how fantastic the food was, and
the high level of service. The extra mile that your
staff went to was great, the young girl who was
serving our table for the even was fantastic, she
even had a bottle of wine for my bridesmaids that
was premixed with soda water for them, it is those
attention to detail that make a truly memorable
evening. The venue looked amazing, just how I
envisaged it to be, the only down side was I didn't
get a chance to eat my dessert :(
Richard could I also please get you to send
through a copy of the receipt
Thank you

Hi Richard,
We just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely fantastic time at our wedding reception (28th Oct). We were so happy with how the evening went and you were so great to deal with in the lead up. The food was beautiful and the drinking glasses never empty! We've had numerous comments on how beautiful the venue was and how professional all the staff were.
Thanks again for everything and best of luck in the future.

Hi Richard,
We really want to thank you for making our reception very memorable. We (and our guests... based on their sincere remarks) have enjoyed the food very much and the creame brulee was exceptional. It is very touching to hear it from a foreign person whose tongue is not so accustomed to western tastes.
Your beverage package was of excellent quality. Your source of juices is premium. I am taken by surprise of your offering. It was very generous.
We also want to thank you for accommodating our various requests and you have done every bit you can to please us, e.g. the mic arrangement, the table center piece, chair and table arrangements, entrance arrangement, serving of food timing, etc. We also thank you for your suggestions with these arrangement, it helped us make decisions that is of everyone's interest and benefit.
We want to thank your waitresses (please help convey this to them). They were smiling all the time and very swift with their movement (smooth and not clumsy when handling the plates and glasses) and they attended to the table very courteously. Most of the restaurants in Canberra do not have waitresses like yours (I find them rude and not willing to serve).
All in all, we are very satisfied customers and will certainly recommend the Lobby to our friends.
Many thanks,
Chris & Alstrid 14th May 2011

Hi Richard,
We are just back from our honeymoon and I just wanted to say a big
thankyou for your efforts at our wedding reception on 8 January 2011.
We had A SPECTACULAR time thanks to you and your amazing staff. I hope
that the events of the night were not too arduous or painful for you
all. Notably the arrival of the fire department in the later hours of
the night - I really appreciate the heads up that you gave to me
specifically so as to avoid any bridezilla or bride-panic moments, it
was very kind of you. However on that could you please advise us if we
owe anything additional on our account following the end of the
evening?
Thank you once again for accommodating us and making the night so much
fun. We will be sure to recommend your venue to all and sundry in the
future.
Kind Regards Sarah 8 January 2011

Dear Bruce and Richard
Thank you so much for helping to make Sam and Megan's a wonderful celebration last Friday.
We had many frayed nerves on the morning of the big day because of the weather (you may recall t rained heavily in the morning) but the sun arrived on cue and and we didn't look back. I couldn't imagine a wedding combination more ideal than the OPH rose gardens and the Lobby. We would like to thank you for doing such a superb job of our wedding reception. Our compliments to your chef on a delicious meal and to your hand-picked staff - great service.
It was so easy to deal with Richard in the planning phase and everything went wonderfully from the moment we arrived to conclusion of the evening. We couldn't have hoped for a more perfect day.
thanks and regards Anne 17 December 2010

Dear Pip and Bruce,
My apologies for not writing sooner.
I would like to thank you and your staff very much for the great food and
service we received at our Christmas party on 21 December. I was
particularly impressed by how accommodating and helpful the staff were,
especially as the restaurant was particularly busy that day, we were such a
large group and had an extra person turn up without notice. The food was
amazing, and the feedback I got from our group was very positive about the
whole experience.
Thanks again for all your help, and for a great venue.
Kind regards Celeste

Many thanks for providing great food and atmosphere for our breakfast this morning with special thanks to the staff waiting on the tables. Although I caught up with most of the staff, I didn't see Genevieve to thank her personally as she who showed patience above and beyond when dealing with the chattering horde! ThanksJudy 30 Nov 2010

Thank you so very, very much forhelping to make our inaugural Degustation
Fundraising Dinner such a success. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. The food selection and presentation for each course was
fantastic, and the chosen wines matched perfectly. We hoped to create an
intimate and friendly dining experience for our guests and The Lobby was
the perfect venue. The professionalism and friendliness of your staff added
to the experience. As an organisation that holds a number of fundraisers
each year, our dinner at The Lobby was an easy and fuss-free way to hold an
event. We will definitely be back next year.

Dear Bruce and Richard and Joel,
Friday night went off so well and I have heard nothing but praise for The Lobby - the food, the staff and the venue! Thank you all for all the hard work before, during and after the evening. I hope the guests enthusiasm for the venue and the food will transform into more bookings! As the host for the evening, I did not have a moments worry that things would not go well and the food was fabulous. The French Ambassador told me he had never had better Twice Cooked Pork Belly.
It has been a pleasure dealing with you all and catching up with you again Bruce. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Kindest Regards, Susie
P.S. The refurbishments looked so good and I loved the carpet!
