    We were sharing a special celebration with our nephew and girlfriend. The view from our table on the terrace overlooking the bay was spectacular. Our starters of oysters, squid, stuffed prawns and Moreton Bay bugs were delicious as was the grilled John Dory, grilled Barramundi and Snapper and chips. The service was excellent and the wine prices were correct

    Great service on a busy Valentines Day, the staff were attentive at the right times. We enjoyed ceviche, steak, roast peppers and more with a bottle of Semillon, and finished with desserts. Everything was shareable and we didn’t feel rushed out of an early dining time (6:30).

    We had a fantastic double birthday family dinner. We were looked after amazingly by all the team and enjoyed the most delicious food. Our fish was perfectly cooked and all the dishes were faultless. We all agreed it was one of our best nights out. It was also great to not have to chase staff for a wine glass top up or new bottle as this was all carried out so well, which is sadly rare these days. Many thanks to all the team.
