    I have to say overall probably wouldn't come back. The food was good, quite good. But over priced in my opinion. $45 for fish and chips? I can make that at home for half the price and would be as good. Portion sizes small which for me made it not good value for money. The service was woeful. We were seated. Nobody came and took our drinks order. We had to call a waiter to make our first order which by that time (probably close to 20 minutes) we'd decided on our food choices. Then any time we wanted service, we had to look for someone. When I take into account, cost, value for money and service. I would choose not to come again. The service alone is the deciding factor in that. To not get served drink within 5-10 minutes of us being seated is incredibly poor in my opinion.

    Steak was overcooked and bland. Oysters not freshly shucked and were dry Thus used to be a brilliant seafood restaurant but now it’s almost like a tourist trap international restaurant. The staff were excellent. Very impressed overall with them but the food needs to improve

    Service excellent. Food mixed. Trout was outstanding. Market fish not so good. Coffee disappointing- especially compared to Melbourne standards. Overall I love this restaurant

    Due to health issues we requested a quiet seat and they looked after us beautifully. We chose the chefs choice and it was well presented, delicious and generous. The staff were lovely . It was a great choice for a weekday lunch with a walk along the foreshore after.

    The restaurant was extremely busy and noisy. It took over an hour to receive our food and the serving sizes quite small. Food and drinks very expensive for what you got plus 10% surcharge added on for Saturday night. Not a great experience and won’t be returning any time soon.

    Expensive for the quality of food especially with a weekend surcharge. I guess you pay for the view which is amazing.

    A great place to go on a summer Saturday. View felt like I was in Noosa. It was gorgeous and the food and cocktails were on point. We had the limoncello spritz and gimlets. Highly recommend. Also Geraldo our waiter was great!
