I'm not familiar with the area so it all seemed a bit foreign to me. Situated in the beautiful Hobbs Bay, I came here for lunch with the in-laws & left with a decent impression of the place so you can imagine my shock when I logged on here to read so many negative reviews! The pork belly I ordered was beautiful but a bit pricey for the portion they serve. There were no complaints from anyone in my party so I assume they all enjoyed their meals. The service was great, the decor could do with an update but apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. 4☆
Best ribs I’ve ever had and for the best price too please don’t change! I’ve had lots of ribs at other places prices ranging around $35 and this one is the best priced I’ve paid for the best ribs I’ve ever had
Just wonderful food. Certainly the best we've had on the Peninsula...ever. We had the Fish of the Day and it was glorious. Pan fried Snapper (cooked perfectly) on roasted new potatos with Cauliflower Puree and a delightful portion of vegetable curry. Great setting, food up there at the fine dining level. They also serve regular burgers and Pizza and I'm assuming even those will be top notch!!
we live locally and my wife usually has lunches at this place and very happy with the food, i thought i give it a try and i was amazed with the food, very tasty, good quality, best outdoor setting and really good value for money, i would recommend it highly and will definitely will be back
Been here more than 3 times and can never fault the food I’ve been served. Salt and pepper squid is my favourite and service is always good for time as haven’t had to wait too long for my meal to come out. Excellent prices through out all dishes including the restaurant and snack bar menus. Overall a lovely atmosphere with the staff being polite and friendly always there for assistance when needed.
The pizza here is amazing, the base doesn't taste like rubber (like for takeaway pizza) and they have a good toppings to base ratio. A bit too much cheese for me, but I know most people prefer lots of cheese. The pizza is also pretty cheap for its size and quality of ingredients used.
The spear ribs were a bit dry for my liking and the fries weren't great. The coleslaw looked really nice but I'm not a fan of salad.
Location is peaceful and there is plenty of room. Food does take some time to arrive, but the pizzas are worth the wait.
Was made very welcome when we popped in for drinks the other night, cold drinks, nice atmosphere & friendly staff, will be back to try the menu for lunch next time as no doubt will be stunning with the location.
Well, we had a fantastic evening! Great food, great service, couldn't fault it. A gorgeous evening had by all and very reasonably priced. Thanks
We had dinner here last night and couldn't fault it Was a bit worried when we read the reviews but decided to risk it Could not fault the food or the service Thank you We will be bck
Very nice location and very pleasant atmosphere. Place gives me a vibe of a restaurant on Mediterranean. We had ordered pizza for takeaway few times before and recently went for dinner. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Just few days ago they introduced a new menu and food was good. Service was quick enough and server did check if we were happy with food. I do find it to be pricy. I I'll be there again for sure.
The food is excellent. Steak was perfect, kids loved the pizza, hamburger very tasty. Good service, they give you time to enjoy your drinks, company and food. Will be back.
A nice restaurant to dine at if you need a good view. The restaurant itself is quite big and is surrounded by some great architecture.
Food was great, and the Tiramisu pudding was delicious. They have a lot of selection available on tap, including Guinness stout (my personal favourite).
Overall, a nice pleasant experience and will be back for a second visit.
Great little find! Really enjoyed our meal here. The kids meals were great, they especially liked the ham and cheese pizza. The lamb shank was fantastic too.. just fell off the bone. Lovely family friendly atmosphere and not too crowded.

Had a great day with my Ma yesterday, lunch was yummy, hearty sized and extremely well priced. Add the fantastic service from Sonya, with a y, just makes for an awesome afternoon outing. See ya again soon! Thanks team!
Really good place! The Jack Daniels BBQ Pork Ribs is simply AMAZING!
Great service, and really kid friendly. The kids meals came out quickly and before our mains which allowed us to get them fed and enjoy our meals while they were still hot. The kids meals were extremely generous, and kept our 1yr old and 3yr old happy. The kids play area is a really nice touch too. Our food was really good, especially the pork belly. Will be back soon, hopefully without the kids so we can stay a bit longer and try the desserts!
Popped into the 4Square for some juice and spotted my mate Steve’s bike parked up. So shot into the bar and had a beer with him and a great chat.
Bar staff were fantastic, friendly and a good laugh.
Highly recommended for a drink and a nice meal.
We had dinner here with our two young children. The food took a very long time to come out but they explained that they were one chef down and were very apologetic, even didn't charge us for one of the meals. There's a great little play area for kids which helped keep them entertained. There was accidents with the kids dessert and they brought replacements out right away with no extra charge. Top notch.
