The best dining experience we’ve ever had! The service was amazing. Usually when we go to fancy restaurants we leave hungry but we were SO well fed.Parking was a little tricky - we thought there would be a parking lot - leave extra time so you aren’t late.

Gorgeous balcony view with mouth watering food!! This restaurant uses local stores and produce while also growing some of their own produce for drinks/meals. Very lovely, prompt service with complimentary starter. We opted for two course meals. My partner got the entree/main while I had main/dessert. My partner had the mushroom risotto and Beef tenderloin & short cut rib. I ordered the pork loin and cheesecake. Everything was amazing! I do wish the dessert was a bit bigger as it was delicious. Will definitely return. Not sure if there is sufficient parking if it's a busy night. There are 3x spots directly outside the restaurant, but unsure if there's any other nominated parking area available. Also note, there is a 5% surcharge Saturday and 10% surcharge Sunday. Overall, a must try!!

Second time I visited, last was in August at night. Their seasonal menus are very well crafted. This lunch was remarkably complex and yet light, including superb tenderloin and short ribs and the other entree the best cod I have ever had. The cheese selections were terrific and the desserts were amazing. And as last time, very subtle and accurate suggested wine pairings. But the best part? The view!! (Which we could guess at last time and we were right!!!) A couple going should aim for the front left table on the veranda, one of the most romantic mixes of view, food and overall style one could ask for! Would be a great place to propose to someone…!

We had a 3-course meal today. All great especially the risotto.Only issue we had is it is difficult to get a parking and the location of the restaurant is in a very busy road.

Food:Amazing delicious chef prepared dishes. In fact, some of the herbs and vegetables used were literally grown at the back of the restaurant. Five stars!Service:Great service. The staff is friendly, professional, and quite informative. Five stars!Cost:We had 5 people opting for 2 courses each, a couple of side dishes, and a couple of non alcoholic drinks were ordered and the bill was approx. $500 which is reasonable for a top tier restaurant. Five stars!Comfort:Which includes parking, space, etc. I would give this venue 4 stars maximum.There were 3 available spots right in front of the venue, for the rest of the diners, you have to look for parking close to it. For someone that’s not familiar with the area, it took me a while to find a spot, the speeding locals that don’t seem to obey the 50 speed limit doesn’t help when they tailgate you while you’re trying to find a parking spot.The venue was not using air conditioning but relying on the natural sea breeze which is normally great because it’s all natural but when it’s humid and hot outside, it also slightly affects the temperature inside the venue.The toilet is quite tiny, probably the tiniest I’ve seen so far. The absolute maximum without invading someone’s personal space while they’re doing their business would be 2. One would be preferable.This restaurant would easily have been a five star review but I just can’t overlook the lack of parking spaces especially when it’s a hot and humid day. 4.5 stars in total but google don’t give half stars.

I went there to celebrate my sister and parents' birthday. We had a fantastic time. The view was beautiful and the food was very delicious. Usually, other restaurant course meals had a small amount of food served, but the amount was enough here, and the service was so good that I felt like I was being treated. We decided to come here every birthday. Thank you very much for the great food and service. We love this place now :)

Nothing really special about this place except for the view. Probably a good place to take rich friends and family who don’t mind splashing cash on fancy food. Didn’t find the menu that exciting and the food was average.

Greeted by friendly staff. Given complimentary pickled vegetables not my kind of thing usually but was enjoyable and complimentary sour dough bread. Prawn salad was a good size. Beef serving was small, could have done with a little more potato and greens but very flavoursome. Had mango cheesecake with popcorn ice cream very delicious. Asked about coffee ordered cupaccino but the only with full cream milk when I needed lite milk. Most unusual not to be offered lite/skim milk for coffee.Overall good experience with a wonderful view over the coast.
