Booked in advance for a brunch for a group of 10 via email. I did this about a month in advance - cautious as we had booked in Dec with a lot of getaways and holidays scheduled in. Luc was quick and accommodating. He noted to me in advance they couldn’t do a big table of 10, but could do two tables of five just next to each other. I said yes to this arrangement and it turned out mostly fine on the day. A bit difficult to converse with one another but overall it was fine.I ordered the squid ink pasta, but was torn between that and the north QLD prawn (both pictured). My friends ordered the prawn so I have posted a photo of this as it just looked incredible. Based on feedback it tasted great. I can also vouch for the squid ink pasta being a good choice. Seasoned well - and something different for a brunch! All ingredients were so fresh, and presentation was impeccable.Staff were incredibly friendly and personable. A few friends had asked to make changes to some of the meals - they are transparent in noting this is not allowed, but were kind enough to make alternative suggestions instead. They made jokes with us and were attentive - overall great.The vibe was upscale, yet also relaxed. Very clean and modern. The monkey theme is embedded throughout the restaurant but not in a cheesy or gimmicky way. For example they had a wall of little stuffed monkeys near the cashier, and each staff member had a monkey hanging from their pocket. Just nice little touches which I found added to the charm.Overall it was a pleasant experience and I’d come back when I’m in the area!+ Parking is convenient as restaurant is situated near a mini shopping centre and in front of a beach.

One of the most amazing pesto, pasta and seafood dishes I have ever had whilst I'm Australia. I don't usually enjoy this kind of cuisine as I feel they are bland and taste the same, so this is definitely one of the rare moments that I can actually say that these dishes were delicious. The taste of the pesto was so unique, and the eggplant schnitzel literally melts in your mouth. Definitely recommend and would come here again.

Food is decent, prices are reasonable and staff are very friendly. Would return if in the neighbourhood.I was curious as to why lamb rump and steak was drowning in olive oil but did not manage to ask.

This is a nice casual restaurant, but a bit too salty for our liking. The 3 dishes we ordered the sauces were just too salty. It did work for the Moreton bay bug entree we shared as it was served with bread to mop up the sauce.

Overall a good experience. Came here for brunch with my family.The food was quite average. The pork in the orecchiette dish was quite bland and lacked flavour. The Kansas style Benedict was quite challenging to eat as it came as a burger with the poached eggs sandwiched between the bun, rather than open like a benedict typically is. The best dish, however, was definitely the squid ink pasta with prawn and vermouth. This was by far the tastiest and best dish. Enjoyed the spice, the herbs and the overall flavour.

Made room for 10 of us even on Father's day. Friendly and attentive staff. Busy little Cafe, great place for people of all ages. Food was on our table within 30mins. I got the Benedict burger and the roast potatoes as a side. Tasty and filling! Would go again next time I'm in town.
