Restaurant
•Fonda Knox is far from a typical shopping centre restaurant. Beautifully considered in its design, with multiple distinct spaces aimed at entertaining, it’s built for a very, very good time. When you get the whole venue, you get the Terrace—an al fresco space that’s fully weather proof. Then there’s the Loft, a cosy mezzanine looking over the main dining room. And of course, the main dining room is all your’s, too, with private bar and staff included.

Amazing comfortable booth seating across most of the restaurant, available for larger and smaller groups, big lunches and small lunches.
Popped in for an early lunch before seeing a movie. We could order, but the kitchen didn't open until 12 noon. The food was fresh and very tasty. The prawn and pineapple taco was amazing. We will definitely be back.
Food was delicious- however couple of issues 1. Missed order; and 2. Misleading menu Other issues but I’ll get to the crux of it As to 1 - a friend and I ordered the “Feed me” special - the last dish we ordered was missed/forgotten/misplaced as the rest of our dishes came then nothing - not necessarily the end of the world but it took prompting at around 7.10 pm after placing the order at 6.25pm. The place was not busy as I had called before hand asking whether I needed a booking and was told for a table for 2 one wouldn’t be needed. As to 2 - the $65 feed me meal ended up costing $72 plus the credit card surcharge. I had no issue with the cc surcharge but I queried the extra $7. I was told it was because I had ordered the loaded nacho bowl with chargrilled chicken - while it has “(+ Upgrade to Loaded!)” nowhere did it say anything about costing more, as agreed by the poor girl at the counter who I queried the $7 charge about, I noticed on the menu the difference between a normal bowl and a loaded bowl of nachos is $4 - so not sure where that came from. Won’t be coming back to this comedy of errors
Me and my friend visited today arvo. We had lot of hopes as we love Mexican cuisine. We were quite dissapointed with the portion and the meal. I had the Mex Bim Bap. It was for 17.50 but I was charged 19.50 and there was hardly any Quinoa and Brown rice. Infact I can say there was'nt any Quinoa at all. Total rip off as it was not worth even $10. My friend had a Chicken Asado and she was dissapointed too. Considering not many people were there I would have expected great food and generous portions. Since KNox SC is close to our place so we regularly dine there. But not sure why the food served was so dissapointing. Waste of our money. We had to go to Coffee Club to have a good meal and coffee.
Came here with my siblings and the food was amazing! The vibe is so good too you don’t often see restaurants with such a nice vibe more catchy music, younger siblings had a dance! Even had a nice dessert after our lunch. Churros are 10/10. All of our food was so quick and delicious
Sunday afternoon bit quiet. Took a little while for food guess cos only 1 staff in the kitchen maybe. Other than that was ok. Even though still prefer old recipes for mushroom taco and quesadilla.
