    Good feedback from all the family for a Sunday lunch. Decent prices and food range, we had live music in the main room which was at a great noise level, could still have a conversation easily.

    I just went for lunch with a friend, we chose Ettalong Diggers for the “Poke bowl” we love it, it’s a pity that it’s only served until 17:30 The Street Food, it would be nice if we could have it at dinner time. It’d be nice to have more dishes like that in the main restaurant menu.

    I went with some friends, the music was excellent “the Talk of the Town” and the food so yummy, I got from the cafe “poke bowl with smoked salmon” delicious, definitely I’ll order that again.
