A pleasant evening. The smoked salmon starter was nicely presented, and the lamb main was very good. Service was fine, though the espresso martini at the end took a little while to arrive. A solid choice for a quiet dinner.

New owners. Much better now. Chill vibe, good music. Had the grilled salmon, cooked just right. Solid spot for a quiet dinner.

The chicken tenders are still tasty, but I swear the portion&rsquo;s gotten smaller since my last visit. Just doesn&rsquo;t feel like the same deal anymore.

Loved the vibe here! Came for a quiet lunch and the decor is really beautiful. The pasta portions are huge for the price, which was a nice surprise. Food did take a while to come out, but no big deal when you&#39;re just relaxing.

Been here a few times. The fish was really fresh, and the pasta had a nice bite to it. It&#39;s always busy, so you&#39;ll need to book ahead.

They really get it if you have a dog. Our guy was totally welcome, even got a water bowl. Plenty of space for him to chill under the table. 👍

Authentic Turkish food, hard to find elsewhere. The female chef clearly knows her craft. Everything tasted fresh, and the presentation was spot-on. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean. A solid choice for a business lunch in the area.

Staff were really friendly, especially Maddie. Food came out quick and was spot on. Good for a quick bite.

The fish and chips were spot on and the portions are huge for what you pay. Perfect for sharing with mates.

A decent pub near the harbour, always seems to have a good crowd of locals. We had the fish and chips, which was pretty good. The service was a bit slow, but the atmosphere made up for it.

Had a lovely dinner here. The scallops were spot on, and my wife&#39;s seabass looked great. Their wine list is surprisingly thoughtful for a neighbourhood spot - found a lovely white that went with everything. Menu&#39;s a bit overwhelming though, so many good choices!

Decent spot for a quick lunch in town. The service was prompt and staff were friendly. Parking was a bit tricky, but overall it&#39;s a solid choice for the price.

Stayed over the weekend. The room was fine, bathroom spacious. The restaurant&#39;s butternut squash soup was the standout - really flavourful and well-seasoned. Burger was decent too. Good spot for a simple meal.

They did a charity event for the community recently, which was a really nice thing to see. The food is great and honestly not expensive at all. I&#39;d come back even if it&#39;s a bit out of the way.

The Sunday roast was so good, I&#39;m already planning my next visit. The staff were really friendly too.

Been coming here for years. The spare ribs are always spot on - meaty, tender, and the sweet &amp; sour sauce is just right. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me ordering.

The staff are always so pleasant and polite. It makes a real difference to the meal. The food was pretty good, though my main course was just a touch too salty for my taste.

Friendly staff, no doubt. But the food really stood out. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered, and the sauce had a nice depth to it. Prices felt fair for the quality. A solid spot.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips are always spot on. It&#39;s my go-to after a walk in the park. The batter stays crispy, and the chips are proper. Just a reliable, no-fuss lunch.
