    The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. . The noise level was high as it was Christmas Day lunch so we couldn’t hear each other very well. A big thank you for the menu that was delivered and for not including a drinks package like some do as it’s not an option if you are the driver.

    The food was amazing, best I’ve had in Caloundra. Unfortunately it was SO noisy we couldn’t speak to each other. It was as though the sound echoed around the room. It was a busy night and mostly closed up because it had been raining, so hopefully when it’s more open it won’t be so loud. It was so bad it completely spoiled our date night.

    Hi Liz, Thank you for your constructive feedback. While it was great to hear that our food meet your expectation, the noise level dont. Due to the noise restriction from other residential around our area which limit us to open up some windows, higher to celling etc, .. Hope we can see you again soon. Kindly regards Peter Pham Restaurant Manager
