Excellent atmosphere in the beer garden on a warm night. The food was magnificent, having ordered the pork schnitzel. We'll definitely go again.

A great find - very busy on a Tuesday lunchtime. An extensive menu and although we only had a main course each, it was fresh, well cooked and delicious.

The prawn entree was one of the best, if not the best seafood dishes I have eaten, I embarrassingly asked for some bread to mop up the sauce, and was informed that everyone asks for bread! The staff were great, friendly and well organised, meal timing was perfect from entree to mains. Good choice of wine by the glass or bottle. Definitely going back real soon!
