    We had the seafood platter for 2 which was outstanding. It was all seafood not filled up with chips or salad as some restaurants do. The barramundi was just lovely, very moist with crispy skin

    Tried the restaurant due to the menu , very happy with the food and cocktails . However the service unfortunately let it down abit , long waits before getting plates cleared , drinks and menus to the point we had to look at the dessert menu on our phones as we didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for them to come with the menu and then to come back for us to order our dessert/drinks . Overall very good night , thoroughly enjoyed the food and the food was cooked good and fast. Very good cocktails , just a shame the service wasn’t the best for us to give you 5 stars . Will deffinetly be back again though and hope the feedback will improve the service for future guests and for our return :) Thanks

    Please vacuum your carpets, especially by windows, there are heaps of dead flies. Not something you want to see while having a meal! 🙈🙈🙈

    Although being disappointed by the quality and presentation of my seafood platter, I was quite horrified to see a long black hair in my lemon hand dipping water. That was the start of putting me off my Birthday dinner whilst on holiday from Melbourne. I got better seafood the next day for lunch elsewhere at a quarter of the price.

    It was just too noisy on this occasion. We couldn’t have a conversation as we couldn’t hear each other over the noise in the restaurant.

    Our first time dining here. I have a few food allergies and it was no problem catering for my needs. It left me not feeling anxious like I do at other places. The food was amazing and the service was amazing! The staff listened and understood exactly what I needed. We will be back!
