    Table service was excellent. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. They also have gluten free options, even have a seperate fryer just for gluten free food in the kitchen. Food was fresh and tasty and came out pretty quickly. Loved the ocean view as well! Highly recommend!!

    Both had the Burramundi with a side of spicy pumpkin to share. Perfect amount of food for lunch and delicious. Could not fault the service. Highly recommend.

    What a lovely experience. I’d bought coffee & a toasted sandwich through the front street nook before but had no idea what was awaiting me inside! We were suggested your establishment for a Christmas catch up & I didn’t realise it was somewhere I’d been before until I walked up to the front door. The food was just divine; well presented & so well cooked. To add to the complexity of our visit we had a coeliac in the group & you dealt with our needs without a hint of issue. Thank you. We couldn’t fault any of the three courses we had & are already talking about when we can come back to try what we didn’t order last night! The Riesling we had two bottles of was also delightful & very reasonably priced. Your package really did offer exceptional value for such amazing food & location. Thank you for being one of the few coastal culinary destinations that actually exceeds expectations. We loved you you & will be back with more friends!!
