A stalwart of the area, this restaurant is well known to tour groups, locals and families for their generous servings, good food and engaging hospitality.
The building stands out due to the bright blue paint and is kind of funky. They are open for brunch,...lunch and dinner. Seating is inside or out, though the outdoor section is in high demand due to the views of Lorne Pier and the ocean. *On a hot day, I suggest sitting inside as it is air-conditioned. The interior is reminiscent of an old school restaurant complete with a wooden bar and open, raised kitchen, which is like a stage the chefs are performing on. The staff are magnificent and the owner will sit down and chat, or even have a tipple with you if you are lucky!
Brunch is the usual breakfast staples, and they do the regular fish and chip type quick food. The lunch and dinner menus consist of entrees, including oysters, and the mains are predominantly seafood. Still, there are meat, salad and pasta options available, plus daily desserts specials on the board. Their kid’s menu will satisfy even the fussiest eater. Prices range from medium to high. Worth checking out, especially families.
Recommendations
Prawn and avocado salad - four large prawns with mixed salad and drizzled cocktail sauce - ala 1970’s. A light and tasty meal on a hot day, best accompanied by lemon, lime and bitters.
Pavlova - mixed berries, cream, crushed meringue - the presentation wasn’t great, but boy it tasted amazing.More
