    The food was exceptionally good with great service from the waiting staff. The live music was very welcome providing the ambience in a perfect setting.

    The restaurant, operated by a hotel school, offered friendly and attentive service with a beautiful ocean view. However, the food fell short, especially for a Mother’s Day celebration in winter. The menu lacked seasonal warmth—no soup, minimal hot dishes, and a cold pasta salad felt out of place. Desserts (choc cake squares) were dry and uninspired, missing a comforting winter pudding. No Mother’s Day gesture like a flower or chocolate was offered. While service was excellent, the food and occasion-appropriate details were lacking. I wouldn’t return based on this experience.

    Dear Allister Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team’s service and the beautiful ocean view—it’s wonderful to know those aspects stood out during your visit. We are, however, sincerely sorry to hear that the dining experience fell short, especially on such a meaningful occasion as Mother’s Day. Your comments regarding the menu's lack of seasonal warmth and the uninspired dessert selection are both valid and helpful. We regret that our offerings did not meet your expectations or reflect the comforting, celebratory atmosphere the day called for. Additionally, we acknowledge the missed opportunity to include a thoughtful gesture for our guests on this special day. Recognizing and honoring mothers is something we value, and we apologize for not translating that sentiment more clearly during your visit. Your feedback has been shared with our culinary and events team, as well as our hospitality students, as a valuable learning opportunity. We are committed to improving and ensuring that future celebrations reflect the warmth and care our guests deserve. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future, and thank you again for helping us grow.

    Food was okay but red meat overcooked, and chicken dish burned. Choices were limited on the starters and dessert.

    Your service sucked. I came back for the food, the presentation of food, the stunning views and with the hope that your service would have improved...but no....

    Such a great venue. Marketing should be upscale hugely to make this a busy space. There were only 2 of us which was very disappointing. With such great venue it should have been more full! Marketing. Marketing. Marketing!
