    The SLSC has amazing views down the coast. The building is very tastefully decorated. The food came in decent size servings and was delicious. The beers were suitably cold! All in all a great venue for a drink and a feed.

    As always the food was restaurant quality and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Yes it’s a little noisy but that’s because it’s a meeting place for friends and family and everyone is in a social mood.
