   Service was outstanding. The tempura squire and chips were too salty for our liking, and the main came only 1 minute after the entree.

   Really disappointed to be honest, steak board came out on a plate - two slabs of meat with a knife - presentation was poor ! Calamari was deep fried and small The only good part was the sashimi

   My partner took me here for my birthday. We ordered the Japanese oyster appetiser to share, prawn and scallop entrees to share, and steaks for main each with the greens and tomato salad sides. We also had a couple of delicious cocktails. The meals were exquisite and our waitress was kind and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our evening amazing. She even organised a birthday ice-cream crumble dessert with a candle as a surprise! Thank you again. I can’t wait to come again during our next trip down the coast.

   Great service, got there a bit early so we sat at the bar and had some drinks until we were collected and taken to our table. We had a great spot overlooking the main dining space, the service was good and thorough, great wine list. Our food was flawless, enjoyed the Crab pasta, the snapper and a few sides. The atmosphere was energetic and bustling which we enjoy when dining 10/10 have recommended to friends already. Will be back

   The atmosphere and food were very good but we didn’t get our first drink order until 45 minutes after arriving. Our food was Very slow coming out, about 30 minutes after that. I put it down to inexperienced staff settling in. I think this could become a great restaurant if they sort out the service side. Staff are friend and polite but inexperienced. Worth going to for the food still.

    On arrival at the restaurant we were taken outside to a booth on the street. Asked for this to be changed which it was. I ordered sashimi when finding out it was kingfish, alas they had run out at 6.15on a Saturday night although the tuna sashimi was lovely. Service was not good, had to constantly wave to our server for water and the drinks order took forever- for main 2 of us ordered the blue swimmer crab pasta which was ok but there was no hint of chili so I asked for some fresh chilies and she came back with what looked and tasted like a bottle of hot sauce. The restaurant itself is beautiful but not enough for me to return any time soon.
