Perfect seafood restaurant for date night. All staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was cosy even though tables were almost full. Complimentary sourdough bread along with a clam chowder shot were great. Oysters were fresh and served with a zingy vinaigrette. The highlight was a perfectly cooked barramundi with fennel and orange. Not cheap, but a bit spesh. We’ll be back!

90% seafood, good amount of choice, dishes are well executed, portions are very generous, prices are fair., service is good. The indoor rooms are well presented and there is enough space between tables so you don t elbow your fellow diners while cutting your meat.. when we were there the noise level was unremarkable , which means low and good for us - everybody commented on it. I definitely will go back.
