We had the $52 three-course lunch special today, and were very impressed. The food was tasty, serving sizes were more than adequate, the staff were attentive and funny, and we had a great view of the beach. I can't wait to go back and try different dishes!

Fantastic location and excellent service. Food was all delicious well good portioned. A very reasonable wine list makes this an excellent dinning experience. Slightly on the pricy side compared to other local restaurants.

What a rip off. $220 for this rubbish. Was told by the staff that the seafood tower was the most popular item on the menu. No price on the menu, only stating 'market price'.
5 old rubbery prawns, 4 oysters and 1 Morton Bay bug. Ridiculous. Our son had the kids sliders that he wouldn't eat, so my wife tasted them and said they were horrible.
If we could give less than 1 star we would.

Fantastic! From the service to the wine & food, we had the Seafood Tower for 2. It was delicious and certainly plenty of it. Our waiter, who was also the owner of the restaurant, advised us no entrees were needed as it would be too much food…..he was right. Thanks for your honesty. We will certainly go back on our next visit.

Truly amazing fine dinning. We came across this gem when we ordered lunch downstairs at another restaurant. We saw well dressed people sitting at nice table and it was packed.
So we booked for dinner the next night.
From the second we walked in we were treated like royalty. The cocktails were the strongest and yummiest I've had in a while. And the seafood was just amazing. Was blown away by the price if our bill as we expected it to be a lot higher than it was.
This place is an absolute MUST on every foodies bucket list.
Cannot wait to go back.

Was keen to check out the local restaurant scene for our 16th wedding anniversary.
So decided to go to one of the fancy upmarket restaurants on offer along the beach strip in Caloundra.
Nice looking place. Service was good. First beer on order was a bit warm.
Nice wines.
Pressed lamb shoulder taste good with the mint gel and goats chèvre.
The ossobuco didnt look too appetizing. But it was dark so mmm…..🧐
Beef was cooked nicely but bland. Potato “fondant” tasted old, dry and bland. Beef sauce ‘Jus’ was watery and yep you guessed it….bland.
For restaurant food it was a bit

We shared our 49th wedding anniversary here and really enjoyed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellently prepared and cooked. The white wine most excellent. A great night out. Thank you.
