    Great location though I recommend getting there before sunset & requesting an outdoor table to maximise enjoyment of the view. Our biggest disappointment was that we hadn't been informed that the main dinner meals would not be served after 8:30p.m. We had an 8:15p.m. reservation but were a little late. We were not given the opportunity to order quickly so as to get an order in before the kitchen closed for main meals. Only a few minutes after being seated, someone came to inform us that we could only order the Small Plates. As it happened, these were sufficient; the cocktails were good too. As I'd mentioned it was a birthday celebration, it would have been nice if they'd done something to acknowledge this - anything, even suggesting a nice outdoor table. There were no extra efforts made for us at all. Despite this, I would return.

    This is a lovely place to have a meal, coffee, dink, whatever. Beautiful views of the harbour, varying, depending on where you are seated. I'm a pensioner so the meal prices are a bit stiff, but some meals are better value: the pasta, the fish.
