At 12:15 p.m. we asked where our food was, and the chef informed us that it would take an additional 20 minutes because the fire wasn't hot enough. We decided to leave and we won't be back. If they serve pizza for lunch, why wasn't it prepared earlier?

However, during the July school holidays, we discovered Barnacles Cafe at the dolphin feeding area, which was open every day from 7am. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the menu was typical but the meals were fresh and tasty. They also served great coffee. The outdoor dining area had plenty of tables with views of the estuary, where you could watch the dolphin feeding at 8am daily. Parking could be difficult as there were only a few spaces outside the cafe, but if those were full, you would have to park further down due to the nearby boat ramps and trailer parking. Despite the parking situation, with limited breakfast options in this quiet seaside town, Barnacles is a great choice due to their delicious meals, waterfront location, and friendly staff. I highly recommend trying their bacon egg rolls, hash browns, and big breakfast for a satisfying start to the day.
