The Senate and Deck Bar, with their signature cocktails and impressive wine and tapas menu is popular amongst locals who frequent for the vibey atmosphere and live sports screenings, and of course, the spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean.

    If we could give 6 stars we absolutely would. When we walked in we were welcomed with kindness. The service was outstanding and probably the highlight of the evening. Each team member that we interacted with was friendly, attentive, respectful and genuinely cared about making sure we had a positive experience with them. The food was delicious, it was beautifully prepared and looked appealing. With the astounding service and good food. It is highly recommended.

    As we arrive we were met with noise of renovation. When we called to book in the morning we as for a seat in the main restaurant. We were seated in the deli because there was a function. After looking at the menu, uncomfortable with the seating and the noise, we left. Very disappointed. I suggest inform guests when booking - it is standard service.

    I surprised my fiancé with a buffet breakfast for his 30th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! There were so many delicious food options to choose from, and the staff were incredibly warm and accommodating. They went the extra mile by singing 'Happy Birthday' and even presenting him with a complimentary dessert plate. A special thank you to the events coordinator (Taryn)—an absolute gem—who made everything so seamless and memorable!
