    Perfect balance of flavours & excellent presentation of every meal. Prompt & attentive service by Brendan. A little road noise but not too bad...views of the ocean make up for it. Outdoor dining setting is lovely with tables not too close.

    Delicious meal. We had the $95 each min spend seating. Very easy to meet this minimum. Cocktails were great. Service excellent. Every plate we ordered was fabulous- caprese salad, prawn linguini, pork, breads, roast vegetables. The only thing I didn’t love was that some dishes seemed very salty- probably because I don’t eat much salt. Overall it was a great night. Atmosphere is very upper class and romantic. Cost $270 and we tipped $30 because we enjoyed it so much. Would definitely go back for a special evening out.

    Lived up to its excellent reputation- service very good from table waiter and sommelier , very extensive wine list and the lunch food specials, whilst not pushing any culinary boundaries, were perfect. Not cheap but good value. Definitely recommended.

    We as a couple have visited over the past 20 years and have always had a great time and meals have been great. We decided to invite 10 close family and friends with two of them recently having birthdays. The staff were aware of this and made them feel special indeed. The staff couldn't do enough for us and with the meals being top notch our friends from New Zealand and others from interstate will surely spread the word on how great this place is!
