    No where in Melbourne can you dine literally on the beach at this price. Some dishes can be a miss, but the majority are excellent. Highlights include spiced cauliflower bites, garlic bread, burgers and the roast lamb for two is the pick of the bunch. Highly recommended.

    A long-term favourite, however, was disappointed that Kilpatrick oysters are no longer on the menu. This needs to return for a 5 star review. Otherwise, it will always be a 4. Very busy at our booking time, on a Saturday evening. Was quite loud at times. However, service was good and we both enjoyed the food we ordered. Thank you for having us.
