Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: The Dining Room appears to be a well-regarded spot in the River Valley area, particularly for its lunch offerings.

We note consistent praise for the value-for-money lunch sets, which include a main, coffee/tea, and Mingo ice cream for $14, with no GST or service charge.

Reviewers highlight the weekly changing menu as a draw, keeping the experience fresh for regulars.

The Mushroom Beef Burger is specifically called out for being juicy and tasty, served with a generous portion of fries.

The Japanese Chicken Curry also receives positive mentions.

While the restaurant can get busy with the office crowd, service is frequently described as excellent.

The main limitation seems to be its operating hours, closing at 2:30 PM daily.

We'd recommend arriving before the peak lunch rush to secure a table, especially if you're with a group.

A reliable option for an affordable and satisfying lunch.
