    We had my daughter’s 21st on Saturday. The food, service and ambiance was brilliant! We had the best day. The new menu is really delicious and the service provided by lovely Andrea and Oscar was outstanding as usual. Thank you 👏

    Table of 8, everyone ordered coffee and breakfast we waited approx 45-60 mins to be served our meals and the coffee came after some of the meals had been served . meals were OK not great not bad and a little pricey for breakfast. 2 people went up to counter and asked where was the coffee order and were told they was short staffed .this could have been mentioned when orders were being taken and would of saved a lot of angst.definitely won't be going back for breakfast many places in the area offer better service and food at a reasonable price.

    We checked out the menu at the website.......nothing on the menu was the same. We were going for seafood. Apparently we were told it was under renovations. The website should have said that and therefore a basic menu. We left and went elsewhere for a seafood lunch. Extremely disappointed.

    Such a lovely setting and surrounds but the experience was let down by the very nature of the "restaurant." In our view, it was barely a cafe. It obviously would work better at lunch time when Cabbage Tree Creek and the boats are in full view but the food presentation is poor. Served in takeaway boxes with bamboo utensils was a real shock.

    A lovely afternoon spent with close friends. Very pleasant setting, good food and service (except lunch was not served together, which was unfortunate but we will be back). I would highly recommend.
