    Nice ambiance with amazing food. We loved all our dish choices - the matching sauces for each dish and the ramen broth were incredible. The lightly fried octopus entry was also a stand out.

    My partner and I went for steak and frites night with live music and had the best meal and service. Entrees were phenomenal - so fresh, clean and flavorful, and the steak and frites was SO YUM. Steak was cooked to perfection. Lovely evening looking out at the beach on sunset and with the live music. Atmosphere, food and service 10/10. Also catered for my food allergies so well - lots of Coeliac friendly options, including the tallow fried frites! One of my all time fave places. Thank you!

    Entré and main was delicious, dessert, pannacotta was very disappointing. Looked like some deconstructed thing, what we assumed was the pannacotta was a thin sheet draped over the rhubarb. Consistency of plastic. Otherwise service was great. And ambience

    Service was great - professional, yet friendly and warm. Food experience was mixed. Very nice entrees, however, my serve of ‘raw beef’ came out with roti which was very burnt on one side - the kitchen plated it so that side was deliberately down - as if we wouldn’t notice! Very strange, had to send it back. Mains were very well presented visually. Hamburger and octopus dishes okay. Husband’s $50 pork fillet had hard, inedible onions. Was okay dish but $50?

    A lovely, dog-friendly venue with comfortable seating in a covered outdoor area. The food was absolutely delicious and of excellent quality. For the price, however, we would have expected some accompaniments to be included with the mains, rather than having to order everything separately. It also would have been helpful to be advised to order sides when placing our main orders, as the portions were quite small and served without anything else on the plate. Unfortunately, when we did order sides, they arrived after we had already finished our meals. There were also quite a few flies on the day, so adding some fly fans to the outdoor tables could make the experience even more enjoyable.
