Great breakfast overlooking the bay and good coffee. Good way to start the day especially if you are heading out on a trip to the Hole in the SRock or Dolphin Watching.

This place is hard to rate and we ate here 3 times. Once it was great and the other 2x was really awful. The waitress messed up the order (pizza with no nuts) and then offered to pick them off when it arrived with nuts. As I am deadly allergic I declined but she kept picking saying it would be... More

The only positive thing I can say is that the view is great bc it's on the water. The seafood chowder was truly inedible. Just a thick, creamy of nastiness with a few microscopic pieces of fish (I think. Who knows what it really was). The waitress was rude and didn't answer a simple question but just walked away. The...

I had a pizza at Hansen's Cafe that made me sick. I bought the most expensive pizza with prawns and as we all know, prawns are rather sensitive to how the are kept. Except from that pizza, my friend and I had the same food for the day before, the day of the visit to Hansen's and the day after.... More

The $13.50 breakfast offer attracted my attention. I should have known for that price it would be average....well it was.....never again. The elderly woman serving at counter was rude and when I asked how long breakfast would be I was told there were orders in front of mine. 30 minutes later my breakfast arrived with no smile or apology for...

Went to Hansens today. Order the Hansens Breakfast (which comes with bottomless coffee) for myself, and something for my wife along with a couple of coffees. Got charged for everything, plus a Public Holiday Surcharge (more about the surcharge further down). Ordered a second coffee and got charged again. I then overheard a conversation that suggested the bottomless coffee that... More
