    The location was perfect – easy to find with a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the setting. My burger was soggy, lacking the crispness and structure you'd expect. My roll was soggy but burger was dry and quite bland, which was disappointing. On the bright side, our waiter was absolutely lovely – friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. With a few improvements in the kitchen, this spot could easily become a favourite.

    Meals took a long time due to big parties taking priority.

    The food took a bit long, but our waiter was wonderful in keeping us updated, ensuring the kids food comes and keeping everyone happy

    Lovely waitron and good food, but we were constantly bothered by paper wasps. As we were sitting on the deck close to the play area this is worrisome. Out waitron was also stung. Manager said they were aware of the problem but can't find the nest. Find this hard to believe. Several tables had to be moved inside too. Hope they take this seriously and do something soon!
