One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Highly recommend the prawn egg scramble, wow. The colour and flavours amazing, glad I passed up the standard bacon and eggs and tried this! Although my son ordered the eggs Benedict and said it was beautiful.

Pretty good food. Seems geared more for the tourist crowd... but that might be only over the school holidays - when I went there. Or maybe I'm just too old to not to hesitate at paying 2.50 for a small bowl of sauce - four times. Anyway the service was top shelf and very fast. If you want fish and chips then you can go here. It's good.

Hands down the best burger and fish and chips we have in a long time! We ordered the sweetlip and the auzzie burger it was cooked to perfection — The chips were golden, crunchy, and not greasy at all. You can tell they use quality oil and fresh fish. Staff were friendly and the service was quick even though it was busy. Definitely coming back next time . It’s a beachside restaurant they have good dinning as well
