The owner of the cafe provided very poor hospitality to my group of friends & I. We came in on Mothers day as walk in. The owner greeted us with a set of rules we must abide by. Order quickly, sit for 45min and do not go over as she explained, 'I have customers who will be coming for next service who paid a deposit & I am trying to accomodate you.' I felt guilty for wanting a nice lunch with a view. The family owners were 3 that day, mum,dad & daughter. Each provides a different level of bad hospitality to us. I requested we relocate to empty table closer to water view. Daughter lectures me making me feel ashamed for asking, she speaks sternly to me and proceeds to explain its for 6 not 7 as our group was 7. When I got back to my group we had someone leave early so we are 6, since we fit criteria I move to table with view. She then walks to us with no pleasantries or assumption that with discussion issue can be resolved. She actually approaches us with stern talking down saying 'i actually didnt say you could move here, you cannot be here, we have a reservation coming in 35min, I was referring to a smaller table further outside.' i tried to discuss with her what is our options at this stage, she cuts me off rudely, talks over me each time I speak. So I feel stressed, I feel she doesnt want to discuss or compromise or hear what customer wants. In fact customer must behave per her needs as we are even lucky to be acknowledged by this place at all. I feel very stressed and I do not have appetite by this stage. I said its misunderstanding i understood it was this table. so she responds, 'if you understood correctly you would know its not this table'. so now it feels we are fighting, I feel we are inconveniencing this place, i feel disrespected in front of my good friends, the environment is sour and in fight like mood. The hospitality does not exist here by owners, the regular staff were friendly & helpful. We had togo back to original table in shed like box were musicians normally work, the only reason we finished our food here as its a long distance to come here we are hungry and no available venues nearby. The father proceeds to hover over us and shake his head throughout our meal. Close to the commanded cut off time for us the mother starts opening back door of shed to indicate time to leave. I am shocked owners behave this way, do not come here for pleasant mood maybe try...

Read morerecently dined at the Waterfrontstore that specializes in all things but the pizza and pasta’s were excellent, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The food was fantastic, and the flavours were absolutely delightful.
Starting with the pizza, it was everything I could have hoped for. The crust was perfectly cooked , just the way I like it. The toppings were generous and fresh, and the cheese was gooey and flavorful. I tried the margherita pizza and it was a classic done right. The combination of the simple tomato sauce, fresh basil, and mozzarella was heavenly. I also had the opportunity to try their specialty pizza with various meats and vegetables, and it was equally delicious. The flavors blended seamlessly, and each bite was a taste sensation.
Also there is section called “around the world on the menu” in this section of the menu they have the most amazing sizzling plates! Wow!
Moving on to the pasta, I opted for the classic penne Napoletana. It was cooked to perfection, with the pasta al dente and the sauce flavoursome and rich. The balance of the flavors was spot-on!The portion size was generous, and I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content.
The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. It had a rustic charm warm lighting and an amazing canopy of living plants flowing down above us! The overall atmosphere created a relaxed and inviting environment, perfect for a casual meal with friends or a romantic date night overhanging on the beautiful waterway of pittwater
