We went for a birthday date night, we arrived early and were taken to the bar area which had an amazing view. When we got to our table the view was even better, we had an awesome server who actually came and asked if we wanted more drinks (pretty rare these days). The food was great, we chose the Octopus, Gnocchi and Steak. All were cooked to perfection. We will definitely come again when we get back to Noosa.

Asked if the pasta main was a good size, when they served us I thought it was an entree disappointed as I was hungry, thought at that moment it’s pasta surely a little more would not have harmed, bread & chips saved the day, ambience flavours service all good……

Absolutely beautiful meal, could not fault as with the wonderful ambience. However, service was fast and did not see a smile or have a chat with non of the staff. Maybe it was too busy! Rainbow trout was to die for, well done!

Service was lacking a bit the night we went. Tables around us were being served and we had to wait 10-15 minutes before getting to order a drink. We had two courses which came out very fast, almost too fast. And only one of us was drinking as I’m pregnant, yet the bill was $320. Very expensive for what is was. Unlikely to go back for a while.

We loved Nico our French waiter he was our favourite aspect of the night he was friendly and very sweetly accommodating he suggested the most delicious wine for us! The outdoor seating on the water was exactly what we wanted for our special wedding anniversary dinner with our daughters! The food was lovely however not exactly the most wowing for the price and the fish was underdone slightly yet the deserts were phenomenal! If we had been inside with everyone else and the the noise it would not have been worth it. It was a lovely evening for our holiday one to remember.

Thank you Poppy for taking the time to write your review. I am pleased to hear you received good service from our French waiter Nico, he is a wonderful waiter and you enjoyed your dining experience.

We walked to Ricky’s and were seated with a lovely view of the water and ferry near an olive tree. The service was attentive and warm without intrusion. The cerviche fish is fresh and elegant. Quite possibly the best chips ever. I thoroughly recommend!

Too cold and breezy with too many ceiling fans . Duck dish incomplete as they had run out of duck legs . Steamed broccolini had a yogurt sauce that was so full of garlic that you could not taste anything else. The wine I ordered was not the correct vintage…they had run out ! This is an expensive restaurant and my wife told the Manager that she was not happy. He was very kind and gave us a free dessert to share. Still disappointing.

Food was a bit bland; very small portions so not great value for money. The cocktails were expensive and served in very small glasses compared to other restaurants I have eaten at. My 2nd cocktail was in a small glass and only half full which was really disappointing. The dessert was amazing (passionfruit souffle')
