10 ✰ plus .The Food is out of this world. We make the special trip from Rockhampton just to eat here. The attention to detail, the freshness of the food, and the seasoning elevates every single dish that leaves the pass. The restaurant’s dishes to more than 5 ✰. Our food was cooked with love. It was prepared perfectly and seasoned well. Presentation was picture perfect. The staff made sure the food and drinks came out in a timely manner and they were so lovely. It is a pleasure to dine here over and over. Other establishments really need to take a lesson from this place as they make the customers feel special and the food is orgasmic. Flavour Flavour Flavour Leek up the great food creations

Excellent meal.i had the moreton bug salad which was a generous delicious serve but with two over cooked nearly empty beer battered bug carcases that can be treated as garnish.dry and tough but the meat in the slad was luscious plentiful and moist.perfect with the chardonay.i thoroughly recommend this place for good food service and prices.

I would give this place 3 stars but given the price I have placed as 2. The food here is average at best. The sourdough bread was the highlight of the meal. Meals were tasteless and did not come with what was written on menu. Service was ok I have had better service at other restaurants on our stay. Would not recommend to people given the price you can get much nicer prepared food for a lower price. Nice view though

Perfect service and food. But you will pay an expensive price for that. Prepare your money, if you have enough money and want excellent things, you go and find them.

Hi Tigaku, we are so happy you enjoyed your dining experience with us. Thank you so much for your 5 star review, we appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback. Have a great day 😀

Excellent wait staff and great food. I think someone named Dean served us. He was very obliging and split our bill into seats so it was easy to pay.
