As a walk in guest, I had the oppourtunity to dine at the restaurant. After waiting for about 20 min. on the table, I realised I had to go to the counter and place my order for drinks instead waiting for somwone to take orders on the tabel.The restaurant seemed reasonably quite for a late sunday afternoon though the beach /pier was full of visitors.The staff wasn’t very busy either and could have paid attention to walk in customers.
The drinks arrived quickly howver there was not much choice from the menu for afternoon snacks. This prompted us to wait for dinner time and unwillingly we had to kill another 40 min. for the clock to hit the dinner time in anticipation of a good night out.
Waiting anxiously, we ordered the sunday special mains which arrived in 30 min.only to our dissappointment.
The chips were cold and the chicken didn’t looked very promising either. The dish did not met our expectation so had reasons to complain. After waiting for a while, decided to cancel and return the dish.
However, the vegetarian pasta recommendded by the waitress were extremely good and did some justice to the dinner.
Sadly, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant isn’t inviting either. It’s a shame that being on such a prime location, the restaurant hasn’t got much to offer.
It holds tremendous potenial and can improve with little efforts.

Completely ignored for 20 minutes. Waitress passed us by several times. If we need to order at the till she should of told us. I was there with a foreign visitor and was very ashamed, they made a very bad impression. We left. Will never be back again. My advice: spend your money elsewhere.

Disappointing lunch had here. Such potential to really impress with the great view of the water. But the fact I had to order at the till and pay up front didn’t impress. So every time we (three of us) wanted a drink you had to get up and go order it and then pay. Madness.
We all had the fish special which was monkfish with prawns. $28 each plus we ordered a plate of fries as the fish came with potatoes which were called gourmet potatoes. Don’t know what was ‘gourmet’ about them they were just boiled new potatoes?
The meal was disappointing. It looked great but was so bland. The prawns had no flavour and I had to really season my fish to grab some flavour.
Nice salad though and the dressing was lovely.
No dessert was ordered. And even though we had all finished our meals and had even ordered some more drinks still our plates remained glued to our table for the next 60 minutes! Wait staff walked right past us countless times even the manager, but no, no one was going to clear our table. Maybe you have to not just order and pay at the counter but clear your table too, hmmm?
Would I recommend this restaurant? Probably not, your paying high prices for crap service and disappointing fare.
