Stopped in for breakfast. The location was the attraction! Service was ok, it would have been better if I did not have to listen to the waitresses, loudly and expressively discuss in detail, their current diet programs and how much weight they have lost or plan too whilst I tuck into a big breakfast..... Coffee was ok, I ordered a... More

Great view over the port, mixture of standard fare and a unusual stuff. S the hamburger was nice, as was the fennel, leek and salmon soup. Nice spot for a simple lunch

This was pretty typical pub grub, lots of fried food and the like. It did the trick as we were hungry from a day of travelling. The ambiance was fairly standard, and the service really didn't stand out too much. We did take a few samples of their dessert fridge and they were all very good, fresh and tasted homemade.... More

Great views and great food , Staff very friendly.Like all Australia eating out can be expensive , but with the Australia dollar so strong against the euro then this can be expected. Mind you the helpings were very generous. Australians seem to eat large portions.

The food were excellent! We were directed to a table by the host, but another waiter was quite rude later when he drew our attention to the reserved note on the table.

The staff were very pleasant and the service was very good. However, the meals were just average pub meals. It was very busy and very noisy.

We sat outside and enjoyed watching the Port Campbell bay. Food was reasonably priced and came out fairly quick, even though they were extremely busy. The food won't blow your mind but it is good value for money and extremely enjoyable If you are after a good priced meal with a fabulous view - this is your place!

Happened on this by chance and so lucky we did. Located across from harbour/beach with good views from lots of tables by the window. I had one of the best seafood salads packed with shrimp, scallops and squid. My wife had a chicken BLT that was cooked from scratch and wonderful. Very friendly service and excellent value.
