However staff were not very attentive. Asked for a glass of wine to have with my meal it didn't turn up until after I'd long finished! Waited a while to pay the Bill no one seemed keen to take the money. I'd go back for the food and outlook, but they seriously need to retrain their staff!

Unfortunately the local wildlife also enjoys the food here (we had half of our fish stolen by a swooping Kookaburra). Would be nice if there was more controls in place to prevent the bird ninjas but the staff were friendly and understanding, replaced the meal free of charge. Excellent views and atmosphere, just need to look up while you eat.
