The service was friendly and our meals were served quickly. There seemed to be a happy rapport between the wait staff and the kitchen staff. We shared a Turkish bread focccia with chicken and bacon and it was sensational. In fact, it was the best we've had in a long while! We also had a serve of hot chips and coffee. My husband had an excellent milk shake, too. There are effective heaters outside, too, but we prefer to be off the road. We went back for coffee and fruit toast a week later. We'll be regulars here.

I will be back sooner just to try this again.

My usual choice is eggs benedict with salmon... but this one tasted fresh with all the vegetables and didn't leave a greasy aftertaste. The portion size was generous as well. The service was outstanding, the waiter was incredibly polite and professional.

The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach, making it a great spot for a post-meal stroll.
