Great place if you love getting harassed by birds and quokkas. A quokka stole a slice of our pizza 😅 we ended up moving inside. Otherwise, loved the Greek pizza and great kids tenders.

Great place to chill and have a drink over looking the bay. Not the cheapest but $50 for a bottle of prosecco is not too bad and the food looked good. Birds can be a pain but having quokkas under your table is an experience I won't forget. Bike hire a must and although had to walk a bit still do not regret not getting electric ones.

Now the only place for us chill locals to go, since they closed the Governors bar... Glad it's still got lazy pub vibes, just be vigilant with the seagulls! They WILL get your food. Clean plates as my food pic as it was so good we forgot to take a photo haha. Lamb was perfect.

Had Christmas lunch here and it blew us away! It was incredible so much food. They clearly had hosted large events like this before as the service was seamless. Would highly recommend
