Description

Visiting this restaurant seems to be a hit or miss experience, with a mixed bag of reviews. Some customers have criticized the poor service and quality of food, while others have praised the lovely location, generous portions, and friendly staff. The views of Merewether Beach are outstanding, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. The outdoor seating area is particularly popular, offering a great place to enjoy a meal or drinks while soaking up the sun and atmosphere. Despite some inconsistency in service and food quality, many visitors have reported positive experiences and would consider returning. Overall, it seems the restaurant has its ups and downs, but the stunning views and relaxed beachside vibe are enough to draw people back in.

What a delight! We had a tasty meal alongside a beautiful view. The staff were friendly when ordering and quite helpful. I would recommend this place as an easy dine or take-away establishment.

The whole menu was way overpriced, but we decided to try it. I ordered the club sandwich on sourdough, which took about 10 minutes to come out. Our coffees took 5 minutes and did look
