    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

    We told the staff that we were running late, they assured us it will be fine. We got there and our table "garden" was waiting for us. We asked if we could get a table in the restauramt if there were any available preferably outside. They found a table for us in the restaurant. We were very happy. Then moments later a lovely staff member comes to let us know that there is a table outdoors that became available. She did not have to do that but she did it simply because they are great. We loved every minute there. Staff are THE best. View amazing. Thank you so much

    It was a no brainer to go for the $69 banquet. Entrees were all delicious and arrived together. When stuff realised we were in no hurry they offered to hold back the main until We were ready to eat again. Or man were delicious too. There was more than we could eat so we took some home. We were all absolutely blown away by it mango sorbet. I only regret was that there were no other customers until we were just leaving! Would highly recommend? We look forward to returning soon
