  • Seafood platter

    We had the seafood platter and I think it was probably the best one I've had, anywhere. It was massive, with pretty much everything you'd expect to be in it (Lobster, oysters, scallops etc) and for only $150. That's great value.

  • Calamari

    The calamari was especially outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavour.

  • Seafood basket

    The seafood basket was impressive, not all fried. There were 3 grilled prawns, a scallop, two pieces of battered fish and plenty of calamari and the crunchiest chips.

  • Sticky date

    Dessert menu was also great, with New York cheese cake and sticky date on offer. I heard a lot more but I stopped listening at sticky date 😆. I had an actual date in mine so I was very happy.
