   The quality and preparation of the food was excellent with amazing and creative flavors. We stand outside and enjoyed the breeze. The interior was very plain and noisy.

   Too loud with music played a little bit inappropriate for a restaurant. Sounded more like a night club. Food was OK but cost close to $100 for myself and my partner and didn’t quite satisfy. Sizes and not at all generous considering the price charged. We would not recommend this place to others and have no desire to return

   Scruffy laminated menus are always off putting and show a lack of care. Fish tacos were tiny for the price. My prawn dish with pineapple consisted of one large prawn and two prawn heads with no bodies. I queried this and they made me a fresh one which was delicious, but again lack of care for serving the first one to me.

   We made a reservation for Valentines day. We requested an upright table. We entered the building and waited about 10 minutes while staff walked past us. We were ushered to a small low table while a group of 8, who were looking at the menu outside and clearly did not have a reservation, were given the upright tables. We ordered a appetiser, 2 mains and a side of greens. One main came out first, with the appetisers, and the appetiser was 3 times bigger than the main. 2 pork belly tacos, no bigger than the palm of your hane with a very thin slither of pork and a bit of coleslaw on top. The second main came out about 30 minutes after the appetiser and first main, which had long been devoured. It took so long, we decided to share the first main, so we shared the second main. Then we ordered some more drinks. About half an hour later, the greens came out, still no drinks. We laughed at the fact we were sharing a plate of greens on thier own. We finished the greens and still no drinks. I had my eye on the bar and was watching for my beer and my wifes gin and soda. I had noticed a beer sitting on the bar for about 15 minutes but no gin. We decided enough was enough and leave. While we were paying our bill, the guy asked if I still wanted the beer, because it was on the bar, the one that had been sitting their for about 25 minutes bynthis stage. Today we had a laugh about how bad the service was, but I will not be going back there.

   The food was good & the service friendly, although quite slow on drinks. We had to wave them down to order more & then 3 came out & we all had finished by the time the 4th arrived. A little bit too bright with the lighting & we ended up leaving a bit earlier than anticipated because there were quite a few tables with noisy kids on them. It started to feel like a food court.

   Food, wine and service was amazing. We sat outside, the only downside was the rubbish bins only metres away from us. They could've been placed out there after service as the smell emanating from them took away from a great food and service experience.

   My partner & i & 3 teenage children ate here. We were seated quickly & provided with only 2 menus between 5 of us. Not sure why as the kids are in high school & not little. I asked for more menus & was provided with some more. The food came out quickly but was hit and miss. The chicken wings were very dry. The prawns were delicious but 3 prawns for around $24 was quite steep. The boa buns had a piece of chicken & a leaf of lettuce, no sauce so also very dry. Generally the food was ok but very small portions & pricy. The staff were good, good service. Dinner was nice but I won’t eat here again due to value for money. I have eaten at many restaurants around Mooloolaba over the past week and there are much better restaurants around.
