Unfortunately I had a Chicken Caesar Salad, I got the dregs of the lettuce with 2 x chunk end pieces. There was not even a smidge of dressing and the chicken was very grey! So disappointing.

Great relaxed ambience. Gets busy at this time of year and thus noisy even sitting outside. Bruschetta was disappointing and burger and health bowl were fine but nothing to write home about. With this location, a bit more pizzazz with the menu could make it a first choice.

Having not been here before I wasn't sure what to expect but being along the foreshore, maybe something better than what we got. Yes it is a Bar / Restaurant but the louder the patrons got, the louder the music got. To a point were we could not hear each other at the table. The food was average. I had to send mine back as half of it was hot, the other half stone cold. The cooks ( and I say cook because this wasn't Chef food ) interpretation of Bruschetta with sour dough, cherry tomatoes cut in half, some fetta sprinkled sparingly over top with vinaigrette was sent out on a shared plate with no way of eating soggy sour dough with anything but your hands. The waitresses for our table were outstanding. Always very polite & more than understanding about sending things back. ( Wasn't Their fault the food was average). We didn't have desert because we had our own cake. When asked a male waiter if we could please have said cake, that's exactly what he bought out. No plates, no knife to cut the cake ( lucky we bought our own ) and no cutlery to EAT said cake with. Where did you get these guys from . My suggestion, sack your cook. You wanted feed back, well here it is. We won't be back. Waitresses you were the light of the entire meal.

My partner is gluten intolerant, so the menu drew us in. He has not had a breaded schnitzel while out in years since being diagnosed. This was such a game changer. The food was excellent, staff were so friendly and helpful. Views were great, we will definitely be back!
