    Outlook is awesome. Service was good. Menu is simple but delicious. Meals took more than 45 mins to arrive when it wasn’t busy

    Had an impromptu family dinner on Thursday evening. We all had the June steak and fries special. The service was excellent, attentive but relaxed. The steaks were delicious as were the glasses of wine. The full moon rising out over the strand really just topped it off. What an underrated venue. Definitely deserve to be busier.

    Excellent food (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash brown, toast) and coffee (skinny flat white). Fantastic views. It was a bit hot but we sat under aircon with windows open so not too bad. Definitely will return.
