We had a wonderful meal for 6 of us last night and were all highly impressed with the quality of food, local wine selection, the design of the restaurant and the staff were fantastic. Probably the best meal we have had in Anglesea. Damian was charming and clearly loves his place and that rubs off with the rest of the staff too. It was a shame the croquets were sold out... but as we have booked again, ill be phoning ahead to reserve mine!

Trout to share with sides (additional) potatoes and greens, too much for 2 adult's, probably didn't need potato as dish comes with rice
Great service as well. A little expensive, food and drinks but worth it
