    Always a special spot. Staff went out of their way to move our reservation forward because of two hungry toddlers. Table Setting was beautiful. Breakfast great as usual. They were very busy but nothing felt rushed. I love Bumbles

    The food was exceptional, with the pork belly, barramundi, and steak cooked to perfection, and the king prawns being particularly fresh. The service was friendly and attentive, with a special acknowledgment to Nitin for his efforts in clearing tables and checking on guests, demonstrating strong leadership. We had a wonderful dinner on Christmas Eve. Thank you, Sea World Resort.

    I cannot fault the service, prices, or beer range. However, the tables were sticky with what appeared to be residue from drink coasters which was off-putting. I'm unsure if it was the weather but the place was very quiet. Generally I don't mind a quitter venue but this was bordering on dead which killed the vibe a little bit. I don't know why because it's a pretty decent place. Hopefully business picks up soon
