" I had a lackluster experience here. The ambiance was cute but the food did not live up to my expectations. I tried the chicken thighs, and they were undercooked – a major letdown! To the chef's credit, they comped my drink and offered dessert, but I'd prefer a well-cooked meal over that. The service was friendly, but unfortunately overshadowed by the food quality that night. I might give it another chance, but I'll certainly be cautious about what I order. " (*Curated Review*)

" InsideOUT is an enchanting spot that brings creativity to dining. I visited during the Valentine's theme and was wowed by the decor and the attention to detail. We started with arancini balls, which were delicious. For the main, I had the pork chop, and my friend enjoyed the diver scallops. Both were executed well, but the service was a little disorganized during our visit, which took away from the otherwise excellent experience. Definitely a unique place worth visiting at least once! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrate my birthday here, and it was a thrill! The whimsical decor transported us to another world. Our server was accommodating and genuinely friendly, but the food left something to be desired. The chicken I ordered was dry and less impressive than I anticipated. I really enjoyed the cocktails, but overall, I think they could improve their menu in depth. Beautiful place but if you're serious about the food, choose wisely. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrating a friend's special day here was an absolute joy! The vibrant decor captured the spirit of our occasion. The service we received was warm and attentive. The food was thoughtfully prepared, with the smoked salmon scramble truly standing out. Although I felt some dishes were on the smaller side, the quality made up for it. I would, without a doubt, return to enjoy another lovely meal in such a delightful setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining at InsideOUT for weeks, but ultimately found myself feeling a bit disappointed. The place is visually stunning and perfect for Instagram photos, but I felt that the food didn't quite match up to the aesthetic. I ordered the garlic prawns, which were okay but not the memorable dish I was hoping for. Service was friendly, but we experienced some delays that dampened the mood. It's a nice spot for a casual outing, but I expected more given the reputation. Perhaps I'll give it another shot later. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of eating at InsideOUT for brunch this past weekend. Everything was wonderful! The atmosphere is dreamy and perfect for a relaxed meal with friends. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the lemon avocado toast, which was delicious, and I loved the blackberry cocktail – so refreshing! The portion sizes were decent, not huge, but definitely fulfilling. Will be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the vibe at InsideOUT! It was my first visit, and although I enjoyed the experience, I found the food a bit lacking in flavor. The staff were all enthusiastic and welcoming, which made the visit enjoyable. It's a fantastic spot to chill and socialize, but I suggest improving the food profile to elevate the overall charm. I would visit again to try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)
