Caloundra is so fortunate to have a restaurant offering all that Amici does. Amici never fails with an above and beyond dining experience. The offering of great meal choices, excellent wine selection and desserts to die for can’t be passed. This is all served with a friendly smile, from the wait staff, well done Amici, we will be back.

Brilliant. We had a coeliac dining with us and the restaurant was very careful with her meal. In fact it tasted so good that she was scared it wasn’t gluten free. Lots of gluten free options, seperate fryer for the chips and the chicken parmi was delicious. Thank you for taking care

We have been dining here for over 15 years because the food is ALWAYS excellent and the service faultless. The flavours are amazing and consistent and their ability to control the spices to your desire is magical. Thank you Wung Nam for our years of dining delights.

Our first time at The Thirsty Beaver was an awesome experience. Booking was easy, and the service and meals were lovely and the salad was beautiful and fresh. The lunch menu was extensive and very well priced; $30 for a meal with a glass of wine or a beer. Can't beat that! perfect place for a Sunday lunch. BTW the 18 hour ribs were delicious... Highly recommend this restaurant.
