My two girlfriends and I had a great catch up at Pure South for lunch, The staff were attentive and social with a few laughs to be had. Food (seafood marinara) was fresh and the bisque light (not heavy with cream). Wine showcased Aussie wines which are always a favourite. I've eaten there numerous times with family and friends over the years and it's always been a great experience.

Pinchy's serves amazing seafood dishes, and the menu options are excellent. If you don't know what to choose, you can take one of their tasting menu options which are great. I highly recommend the Lobster Roll for main course, it tasted sensational. Also great were the crab taco starter and the octopus entree. Our waitress was so helpful, and the service was awesome. A little pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for and Pinchy's was well worth the price. 100% recommended!
