The day we went was possibly one of the busiest of the year - Easter Monday public holiday. We had a nice enough table with a bit of a view of the sea - as requested - but the place was packed! Service was a bit slow but to be expected with the number of people. It was incredibly LOUD with so many people all talking over each other. A young woman was singing with an amplifier - she had a lovely voice but it was just more noise unfortunately. So not a great experience for her either as no one was taking any notice. Would much prefer to live music - and for me, NO background music when it’s so busy. I’ll always go back as it’s a long time fave venue. Just maybe not on a busy public holiday.

This was the second time going here, wanted to take the family as the food was amazing and I loved the atmosphere. The service was lacking, spend $200 for a table of 2 adults and 2 kids, which we didn’t mind paying as the food was amazing. But the service was lacking, its self order which we did on the app, the kids meals come with a drink, didn’t know how to order them as nothing was on the app to add it to the cart. When we arrived nothing was explained about ordering, we were given menus and taken to our seats, that was it, a waitress walked past I put my hand up and called to her to indicate I needed help and she informed me and kept walking. Our drinks arrived and I asked the lady how do you order the kids drinks, she said you go up to the bar and get them, would of been great if she said what would you like I’ll go get them for you now. Our plates were taken when empty, no once asked if our meals were ok or we needed anything else. For this reason we won’t be back, going out to dinner is suppose to be a full experience and TBH I was not impressed. But food is amazing, congrats to the chefs!

We had to flag someone down for menus. It was quicker to go to the bar ourselves for a drink... No one told us what to do or expect. Once we took it on ourselves to go find somewhere to order the kid just didn't seem to be able to understand I wanted calamari and chips as a main. The wait staff just didn't want to make eye contact
