Service was good generally although they didn't clear out entre plates with the entre dish until our main course was leaving the kitchen. Arancini was good (8/10). The barramundi was dry. The creamy garlic prawns were way too salty. Even worse was the attitude of the owner who made no effort to recover the situation, other than to say 'I'll have a word to the chef'.

Infact, thank good ness for Sam(who stayed on the phone with us and directed us exactly to the restaurant,after I called them for being frantically lost and late). I was calmed immediately and we were taken over to our waiting table(the table closest to the gorgeous fire ). We were bought over a glass of wine each and settled in to what would be a really lovely evening. Nothing was a problem for this well mannered and gorgeous staff. Our entrees were beautiful. My hubby had a bruschetta, while I opted for the slow cooked pork belly.Both dishes were just beautiful. For main my hubby had fish and chips and I had a rib eye. Each one was delightful. Our dessert was amazing.We both opted for their Ferrerro Rocher chocolate dessert- a beautiful hollow choc ball filled with ferrerro rocher mousse and topped with a ferrerro rocher chocolate, served with a little portion of vanilla icecream. Honestly, it was delightful.The highlight for me really was the staff themselves.Nothing was an issue or too much work and they were all smiles and well mannered. It was a fairly cool evening so not really beach weather, but we had a walk along the beach(as the restaurant is right on the beach, which we know now :) )and cannot wait to come back in summer and have lunch with the family.Thankyou for a great meal..

Staff are very good and the food is okay but the sides seem to be home madeish For example heaps of vegies for the sake of just filling the plate. read more Staff are very good and the food is okay but the sides seem to be home madeish For example heaps of vegies for the sake of just filling the plate.
