This is the second time we have dined here and it didnt dissapoint. Its easy to get to and has plenty of nearby parking. Its casual setting makes it an enjoyable place where you can easily converse with your table whilst still enjoy the atmosphere. It was described to me as being a 'more fancy fish and chip' shop but i think its more than this. The food is elegantly assembled with a no nonsense menu offering the "freshest" fish in Melbourne by far. Will be back for sure!

Always good quality and variety. Great service and sitting outside on a warm evening is perfect. Something for everyone from marinated trout with soba noodles to soft shell crab burger and traditional fish and chips.
