Great fish, excellent chips. Good service with a smile and glad it was open on Australia day!
We were visiting the lighthouse and found the drift away by accident. Lunch with a sea view and cool music.

Great location and an easy 25 minute walk from Quality Gateway Hotel. We had a nice table by window and a couple of friendly efficient servers. Tofu dish from large plates and tamarind beef from small appeared to be about the sam size...no matter. Both dishes were delicious. Side of asparagus and snow peas was lovely. All up very good.

This place has a really nice view of the water and a good atmosphere. I was a little disappointed with the lunch menu. I’ve been here for dinner and I loved it, but lunch options - not so much. I was after a nice crisp salad or something not too rich but there was a lot of cheese type foods and the other options didn’t really suit. I ended up having the fish and chips and this was quite well done, lovely relish, tartare too oily though. Chips were great. Fish was nicely done but I’m not a real fan of gummy shark (and this was the only option). Hubby had the chowder and said it was very nice, he ate both our meals. The service was great, very friendly and fast.

The service was excellent! We arrived late afternoon; the waitress immediately informed us that the kitchen would be closing soon, but that she would still take our food orders, if we could get them done quickly.

Their Sliders (burgers) can be ordered with a bun or as a salad! This is an excellent option for those with gluten intolerance. The BEST Sweet Potato Fries ever!
Lovely atmosphere. The only drawback is that they close early - around 4:00 pm.
Definitely worth a visit.
