We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We arrived around 5.30pm and surprisingly the restaurant was empty. We got a window table and saw the amazing sunset over the beach. Stunning views. As we were being seated we asked for the kids pasta for our toddler son who was starving, and said we would order our meals after we decided. His pasta came out in less than 5 minutes. He absolutely loved it. The waiter warned us the bowl was hot and grabbed a plate so we could cool down the pasta fast and our son could eat off. We ordered and the meals came out after about 10 minutes, we were very happy with the speed. I had the creamy garlic prawn linguine. Delicious, and a very generous serving of prawns. Normally you only get about 4 prawns in a dish like this, but I had over 12 king prawns in my pasta. Really tasty. My husband got the special which was pulled lamb with veges. He says it was also delicious with a generous serving. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating - especially to our toddler who got a colouring pack with crayons and a cup of milk with his dinner. Dessert was cheesecake - again, delicious. Our son got the ice-cream. We requested no sauce, so they offered sprinkles (which delighted our son). By the time we were leaving at 7, the tables were starting to fill. I'm amazed the restaurant was not busier (though it might change in the summer months). This restaurant is amazing and great for families. The staff were fantastic. We will definitely be returning when we are next...
   Read moreI rarely come here, but notably always a great experiences, with their food always being delightful over the past 10+ years that I've been a customer.
This visit I checked their menu before creating the booking and was delighted by the food options. To be honest, they made choosing difficult because it all sounded so good. What I was surprised by though was the decent pricing.
However, it occurred to me upon arriving and during the meal that the food isn't why they're not fetching a better price for their menu. It's the tacky decor, the damaged flooring, and the little things like servicing butter in foil. The lighting could also be lowered, to create a better ambience and give better visibility through the windows to look outside - which would be a delight since there is a world renowned Jetty out there and a gorgeous Fig Tree.
I felt like I was eating food from fine dining, in a venue that should be fine dining (given it'sremarkable location), that was more like a venue of a good family restaurant.
It really did make me wonder if that's why you didn't have more guests. Then again, it was a cold Sunday's winter night.
Would 100% recommend for the food. The quality of the food is well worth the visit, despite the lack...
   Read moreThe view was nice looking out to the water. My husband and I ordered the $40 Scotch fillet steaks and they were cooked to our liking. The waiter was friendly and courteous. However, when we went to pay our bill the two waitresses at the front desk were having a heated discussion. We waited patiently for one of them to serve us, all the time being privy to their argument, but after asking twice we were told abruptly that they would be there in a minute. My husband then asked again and we were given the same response and the waitresses both walked off. Annoyed at this stage I left the restaurant. Eventually a staff member standing behind the bar called out to my husband "are you waiting to be seated or to pay?" He told her he was waiting to pay then said "if no one wants our money we are fine with that". Finally we were able to pay our bill and move on with our evening. Very unprofessional behaviour which definitely tainted our...
