    Had a fantastic lunch here. Every dish was perfect, and beautifully prepared. For entree, we had the Yamba prawns, calamari and the pumpkin flowers. The prawn were juicy and tasty without being overpowered by the seasoning, calamari tasty and crispy, pumpkin flowers were delicate and perfectly fried. For the mains: the salmon was moist and perfectly seasoned, love the accompanying crunchy peas and bok choy; the lamb cutlets were good and we were most impressed with the lobster with squid ink pasta- it had a real depth with a rich seafood flavour. Service lovely and attentive. The waterfront view was very scenic. Looking to come back soon.
