Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Nice cafe with great scenic view, 3 of us visited on a busy Sunday and had 3 meals and drinks. Very good tasty food for a cafe with quality produce. Service was fine. We would definitely return if in the area

We had a party of 4 for a late lunch and easily found a table right at the windows overlooking the water. The menu had many affordable options and service was great. Our party all enjoyed the meals; the burger may have been just a...bit overdone. The mochas/hot chocolate all were delicious.More

Came with my wife and we LOVED the setting. Had some of the best Benedict I’ve had (I got it with salmon lox). We also loved our coffee and the staff was super friendly. Beautiful view of the ocean as well. Would definitely go back!

Had been intending to try out this cafe for one of their evening weekend meals. Very glad we did and would highly recommend. Service was impeccable, easily matching fine dining experiences. Our steak frites deal for two was very good value with high quality pieces...of steak cooked to perfection. A clever use of mirrors simply adds to the ambience with a lovely view along to the harbour.More

Had a lovely lunch, food and service were great. We had the panko chicken and the salmon bagel. The food was good and came quickly, despite it being a busy lunchtime. The menu was good, offering something a bit different to what you often just...see everywhere else. Staff were attentive and provided great and friendly service.More

Visited here for Lunch with 3 friends - all on the wrong side of 70. Really nice place inside but a bit disappointed in the Food. 2 of us opted for The Fish and Chips. Fish was dry and rather on the black side and...the chips were obviously fast frozen- not to our taste. Others took the Burger- again a bit on the dry side and the same frozen chips. Also quite pricey for a Lunch menu. An idea might be to follow others by having “ small plates”at Lunchtime especially for older people who don’t have so big appetites as younger folk. Best bit about our meal was the “Sticky Toffee pudding “which was delicious . I would like to say we would return but maybe just for the cakes and a coffee which looked Very inviting but not for LunchMore

I would say no, although I don't know for sure, it's not really that kind of place.
