Bar and wait staff are friendly and doing their best, but the service overall was terrible and food was overpriced, sub-standard pub grub. We waited over 20 mins for drinks. The schooner of beer had sat on the bar for so long it was flat and warm when it arrived. The Chefs (and I use that term generously) seem to be totally inept. Couldnt cook a steak to order and when we sent it back I am 99% sure the exact same steak came back with a different label (they put wooden stakes in the meat to classify the cook time - medium, well done etc). The sauces are bland and tasteless and taste like

Our extraordinary experience started once we were delightfully greeted by the gracious Maitred Paul at the door, and whisked away to a semi-private alfresco area. Ordering was a breeze, and the carefully crafted drinks selection had us intrigued and deliberating over the endless selection of liquid delights. Do yourself a favour and make friends with the noteworthy Falafel Salad which had my taste buds singing in symphony with the well balanced green goddess dressing bringing everything together superbly. Bravo Paul and team, we will be back - and next time with the whole family!!!

Great customer service, lots of space, great quality food. Bit expensive, but great for kids. Play area for both little and big kids. Book in advance, gets super busy. Lots of parking, and right on Salt Beach. Get dessert at the ice cream shop up the road and go for a lovely walk along the beach after dinner!

Nice food & pretty quick service but in our case one of our meals had undercooked chicken. They were understanding & gave us a refund for that meal. A good place for families but quite noisy inside so not a great option if you wanted a quiet conversation.

It's a pretty typical family bistro.
Prices were ok, food was ok. Staff were attentive and friendly. I had a standard; 250g med-rare rump with veg. It was cooked well and seemed larger than other places. The veg were lots of greens sauteed in oil and garlic. Jacket potatoes. It was good value for money size wise, but lacked flavor a bit.
Had Heineken Zero, a pretty good non-alc choice. Atmosphere was busy and buzzy. We had to go the 4 to 6 timeslot as later session was fully booked. They have a large deck area (not a great view, but nice green parklike area)
The little kids play area seemed
