    Surprised no plate was provided for the sea food shells. And no finger bowl. When extra plate was requested it was dropped onto the table.

    The mains were very good, though MASSIVELY overpriced. $39 for the barramundi, and it was a small piece of fish on some sort of puree with some leeks. The creme brullee flavour was good, though poorly executed. The sugar on top needs to be fully crystallized but it was grainy. I had 2 $10 pots of beer too, so I spent $72 for just my meal and 2 light beers, and I left hungry :-(

    We really enjoyed our time at the distillery. The food was excellent and the house gin was some of the best we have had. We thought the Wharf St Navy strength gin was beautiful. I would also recommend the gin tasting platter. We will definitely be back next time we are in Forster.

    This place is a Forster gem. Great live music and vibe on a Saturday but very good anytime. Excellent selection of food and drinks.

    Great spot, interesting decor, light and airy, conveniently located on Wharf St. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch starting with the gin paddle and a tap beer. Then small plates of oysters and chargrilled prawns, followed by crisp skinned barramundi and an autumn vegetable salad. Would recommend.
