What a wonderful culinary experience. We started with a bottle of the Tyrells Doyles Semillion. Later ordering the hot and cold seafood platter for two. A great selection of seafood that we are afraid to say we could not finish however walked away satiated. The service from our waitress Rosie was impeccable as was our view of the ocean lapping the shore. What an amazing way to spend the day.
