If you are craving for steaks this is the place to be. Their grain fed steaks cooked to perfection are melt in the mouth tender.

The food grilled was great but the nuggets and chips not at all. It was too salty. Didn’t expect nuggets will have added salt. My son didn’t like it just had one. Hope they can make kids food with less salt or let customer know it comes with added salt

I can not understand how this restaurant wins awards. The oysters kilpatric were horribly over sauce with BBQ sauce and ham, I could have made the same at home with a bottle of heinz bbq sauce! Over priced meals that are lack luster in taste and presentation. The mushroom Risotto was salty.

Food was divine – we had the wagyu rump and pork belly. Corn rolls for entrees was perfect and freshly baked. The crayfish was a little overpriced for the quality – meat was a little mushy in parts, but we still enjoyed the meal overall. Desserts were delicious with a special green tea flavored crème brûlée. We recommend making a reservation rather than walking in as we saw a few people being turned away as walk-ins!

What a venue when the sun goes down fantastic.. we had the steak tasting board between 3 blokes.. ( had some entrees as well) but probably could have fed 4 !! Service was very attentive. We sat outside on a glorious night

Excellent restaurant. The food was on point, especially that beef tartar. The ambience of the place, the staff, the views of the beach: excellent. Would make a romantic spot for a date. Only thing disappointed in was the strawberry dessert. But everything else was sensational! Recommend. Would come again

This is the type of restaurant where there is no salt, or pepper on the table. Where you can describe a wine and they make the perfect recommendation. The service is friendly and very good. The food is exquisite. The person who pours the wine has pride enough to change your glass because of an invisible watermark. They take pride in what they offer and how they serve it. Expensive but well worth the price.

The atmosphere is beautiful and tastefully decorated. We sat outside and you can clearly watch the sunset over the water as the fairy lights get brighter.
