    Excellent everything... saw my wife coming and prepared the disability lift, made her feel very comfortable to use it (we are new to this, and it can feel very dehumanising to use these things). Staff were amazing. the food was amazing as always.. the music was probably a little loud, made it hard to converse but not to the point of needing to ask for it to be turned down.. actually, that seemed to happen anyway after some time and it was all good! We will be back, again!

    BBQbaby octopus was so tough you could not eat it Seafood risotto flavor was overwhelmed by too much dill oil and herbs Loud music to suit the staff not the customers The kingfish sashimi was prepared? Because the flesh was soggy

    We had the chefs selection which no longer offered the $95 version but that was no worry as what was provided was ample and beautifully presented. For $55 you receive two entrees Ceviche then BBQ Octopus (a truely excellent dish) the seafood risotto. (This was a trifle bland and found our selves asking for Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. We only wish we hadn’t had the oysters with Yuzo dressing, we only had two each plus 2 scallops as we were as full as a goog.oh p.s. guys if you warmed the bread that would have been a nice touch. If you order the scallops save your bread for the shell juices.

    The food was great, good quality seafood and fish, well matched with sauces/salad etc. The setting on the lake was truly divine as the light faded into black and lights reflected of the the smooth surface of the still water. A great experience.

    This was a great fish meal. We had the sodafish set menu selection. The cerviche was especially good. Portions were very good. We sat outside which was a lovely space. The service was a bit haphazard because they were busy, but staff very friendly. Choice of non alcoholic drinks was a bit Spartan but that was the only thing I would have liked to see more choice in.
