    Food was delicious. Service slow because it was so busy. We were seated outside as we requested but were sitting in a row along a bench so made it hard to talk to each other

    We made a booking for 8:45am and arrived on time, it took forever for our order to be taken then forever for our food to arrive. At 10am while we were still eating our breakfast because it took them so long to bring our food out, they told us they had another booking at 10:15 and we needed to leave by then. Then they proceeded to come out to our table and take dishes away every couple of minutes as we finished to have us out on time. Two of the diners had poached eggs, one lot were overcooked, and the mine were undercooked so I had to scrape out as much of the slimey egg white out as I could, close my eyes and pretend they were cooked properly! Shame to have such a great location with terrible service.

    Waitresses staff were slow, 4 waitresses and only one seemed to be taking orders. Took 20 minutes before they took are drinks order. We ordered food then too. Drinks took along time and food, even though many tables were empty.

    Lunch was as expected, we pre booked table for sitting outside, and it was lovely. Menu had good food choices, and all four meals were well presented, delicious and fresh'. Fast service and friendly staff. View is simply stunning, no complaints, our fav spot at Hallett Cove!
