Located on a cliff top with stunning sea views, this restaurant offers a standard menu with locally sourced ingredients prepared impeccably. While some reviewers note that the food was disappointing, others praise the freshly prepared dishes and reasonable prices. The restaurant has a happy hour and friendly service. Customers have enjoyed nachos, fish and chips, and burgers with generous portions. A few have experienced minor service issues but overall find the food excellent. With the option of dining on the deck overlooking the bay, this restaurant is a recommended spot, especially for gluten-free options.
