Food excellent , best in Noosa . Calm ,relaxing ambiance . Very friendly staff . Great value . Would recommend to anyone for a unique experience.
Both food and service were outstanding. I congratulate you all on a fantastic lunch experience. The bean soup with prawns , pork belly and bread and butter pudding were all delicious. I look forward to dining again.
Great food, service and price. We visit regularly and have never been disappointed. Service is always attentive but not OTT. Food is excellent, the choice of courses might be limited but all options suit our taste. Will be back very soon.
Staff were fantastic and was lovely chatting with them. Food was amazing. Pumpkin risotto, pork belly and bread and butter pudding 😁 Thankyou.
Honestly the best food I have had in Noosa ( and Brisbane tbh) for 2 years plus !! The menu wasn’t provocative, or stretching culinary boundaries but the quality was EXCEPTIONAL, All aspects of service were seamless and the friendly warm staff and management is delightful ( refreshingly caring and articulate !) Wine was outstanding . Standout dish the bread dnd butter pudding with amaretto custard and marscapone ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Can’t wait til you start dining again !!!
This is my third visit to the restaurant. The food and wine has always been outstanding, so delicious and plentiful. Last time, the poor waitress struggled with the language. No problems this time. Our young Argentinian Waitress was exceptional, and the 3 courses, 5 star!
We had another beautiful lunch on Tuesday. The three courses on offer were again delicious. Service is always exceptional. Looking forward to next week’s menu.
