    Despite the 10% Sunday surcharge and noise level, our experience at Penny Young was fun and vibey. The dishes were generous and flavoursome. The live R&B musician on Sunday arvo was fantastic but the acoustics and noise level was so awful l ended up with a headache. I couldn't even chat with the people on my table clearly. Please address the noise level Penny Young 🙏

    Penny Young is a vibe! We have made it a go to place. The atmosphere and staff are amazing! It’s warm, inviting and comfortable. A place where you can chill and enjoy. The food is delicious and more ish. We’re always greeted in the nicest possible way and we feel at home… that’s how it should be! It’s great for a few of us or a big group! The staff are so accommodating, it’s a pleasure to interact with them! There’s a great variety of food to be able to choose as well.. my only suggestion would be- Coffee! If there was coffee, well I would be there all the time😄

    I have been here a few times but yesterday was the first time I have arrived when the top was open and it was really lovely and made less noise from other tables carry to ours. The staff members were very friendly and helpful, plus the food as always was delicious!

    First time guest at Penny Young and really enjoyed our visit. Venue would be appealing to a wide age group and for near any occassion. The staff were friendly, prompt and not invading. Food was very pleasant and tasty. I planto revisit myself. The holdbacks from not 5 stars was we were placed at a table with bars seats, which would not be approp for everyone and the background music was slightly loud for conversations. Still highly recommend. Ample parking and accessible by train.
