Started with a vodka martini which was as close to perfect as they come. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. Wine selection was tricky as such a fantastic list. Staff knew exactly which bottle we wanted and it was perfect. The food was magnificent and I took an odd choice after all seafood starters and entree, the roast port bone in. And what a choice it was!! Fantastic taste, texture and serve size!! Would never miss this spot on a Noosa trip.
