We were sharing a special celebration with our nephew and girlfriend. The view from our table on the terrace overlooking the bay was spectacular. Our starters of oysters, squid, stuffed prawns and Moreton Bay bugs were delicious as was the grilled John Dory, grilled Barramundi and Snapper and chips. The service was excellent and the wine prices were correct
