    The wait staff were fabulous - we eat here whenever we are in Noosa and are rarely if ever are disappointed The spanner crab tagliatelle along with the snapper and orange risotto are a standout On this occasion a burramundi dish was a little underwhelming but overall a great restaurant

    Really nice place, service & menu proposed. Table 10 is fantastic : you look overall the dining room and enjoy the flow of the service. The wine list is unbelievable and cocktails are divine. Food : 10/10 on the sharing dish “lamb” we added some sides ( potatoes and caprese salad) which was perfect. We will definitely have to try the reminder dishes we couldn’t try ! Well done to the team : service was excellent our maître D was fantastic.

    Did the $75 lunch special. Entree and mains were good - not excellent . Salad was limp, brown on edges and croutons were soft/stale. Sent it back to kitchen. No apology, just a ‘chef has been notified’. Apart from that, service was (as always) attentive and professional. Place needs an overhaul. Multiple gaffer tape on ceiling, chipped and worn furniture, cupped flooring, old table cloth was balling. Much better options these days in Noosa. Won’t be back.

    Great cocktails, especially the Locale Passion and the Aged Negroni. The linguine pasta was divine and the beef tenderloin was juicy and tender.

    Our waiter (didn’t get his name) very attentive, considerate and made us feel very special. He even turned the aircon off as he noticed I was feeling a little cold. He kept us informed of wait times and checked in with us regularly. We also shared an entree which usually came with 3, he brought out 4 so there was an even amount for the 2 of us. The food was all so amazing and cooked to absolute perfection. could not fault here at all but the waiter honestly made the experience that much better.
