Exceptional place from start to finish. Service perfection, we had Bianca who was faultless, she worked so hard! And Georgie just had such a vibrant and infectious personality. We felt special due to the service being so efficient. The tasting menu was first class. The flavors were sensational. We had a downpour of rain in the middle of our meal and the staff all pulled together and made it fun! Despite being stressful for them. We are so glad we chose here for Christmas Day, it made it one to remember. Well done to all staff at this fabulous restaurant. From Jess and Anna

The passion fruit margaritas were incredible. They do have a kids menu and being on the beach was excellent for them to play while we enjoyed the ambiance. Our server was very attentive and the menu was fresh with a unique twist to each dish. Looking forward to our next visit.
