"A recent turn around and a fresh menu has given this seaside establishment a great kick. The staff from the start were pleasant, informative and chatty. Even offering wine tasting! Good menu options offering local seafoods but not to many that you become overwhelmed. Hot chips and aioli are always a favourite. Gnocchi was lovely as was for the chicken and seafood soup. Soup could have been a little hotter. The garlic bread accompanied was delicious with a generous lathering of both garlic and butter. The surrounding are great for both dining in and outdoors. Desirable tables are located indoors by the windows above the water inlet. Plenty of parking however I suspect over the busy summer season this could change. Overall, reasonably priced delicious food served with smile. Keep it up!"

"Good food, it didn't take long, the atmosphere was relaxed and with good calm and ambient music. A lot of vegan options and not at all spicy. The young waitress was charming and very helpful."
