    Have never had a bad experience at the Old Court House. It has been our place of celebration for 60+ years and will be sadly missed.

    Once again, we celebrated our wedding anniversary at this beautiful venue. The service was exceptional - they made us feel like royalty. Food was ‘divine’ and presentation second-to-none…

    This restaurant boasts beautiful views across the bay and a refreshing breeze outside on the terrace. The food was on point and was served quite quickly and was hot and fresh. Definitely enjoyed the experience.

    Sadly, this iconic restaurant is closing. We planned our Christmas function because, being a local, I wanted to test the culinary expertise of the chefs. I was expecting more of the food. The location is magnificent and the restaurant ambience was superb. The service was very good but the food was average at best and overpriced. We had a lovely afternoon and thank the staff for looking after us.
