Outstanding food from a serious seafood menu. So good we came back for a second night, having found the local Thai restaurant a bit of a disappointment. The ceviche (“surf and earth”) starter is delicious. The scallops with lentil and miso sauce is superb. The deep fried prawns with tacos are good.

The host, Richard is friendly without being intrusive, and the staff are attentive and helpful. Book...

The staff, the view, and the food I’m gonna give it a 5.0. so I think we need to temper our judgment a little bit. Hats off to the...
Read moreCalled in for breakfast a few mornings on the trot whilst staying in the area. There was always a warm welcome and a smile as soon as you entered and your order was dealt with efficiently. There are lots of options on display in the chilled cabinet but the breakfast menu was my option every day. I had eggs Benedict on one morning which arrived quickly and was delicious and filling. The following morning i went for their Meusli which was filled with fresh fruit, yoghurt and milk if you wanted. It was so good i ordered the next day too! Coffee was good and i was set up for the day. Highly...
