I’m so glad we were not persuaded to cancel our booking after reading a number of quite negative reviews. Coming from Melbourne, my husband and our 2 adult sons and I ordered a selection of dishes to share for starters and then chose our own main and desserts. The portions are on the smaller side however the quality and flavours of the food was amazing! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food we ate. The location on the water is lovely. I would suggest you read reviews as a guide but do yourself a favour and try it for yourself.

Service was great most of the meals were fantastic especially the entree muscles with butter nut pumpkin the except was the scallop and crab tortellini’s where the pasta was hard and under cooked. We communicated it and we were offered a free dessert that were also fantastic.

If you l9ve seafood, this is the place to go! I had the Scallop & Crab Tortellini which was delicious, but if you don't heat be sure to ask to not have chilli - it has quite a bit of kick! My friend had the Risotto, which I had a taste of & that was also incredibly tasty. I had the Barcelona Mule cocktail, which was divine - a slightly sweeter take on the traditional Moscow Mule. My friend had the Spicy Margarita which she absolutely loved.

Very disappointed our third visit, gone from exceptional 1st time, to very bland. We love chili but too much on one course and commented on this but as the waitress pointed out we still ate it all after removing most of it. Not the reaction we expected.
