The steak specials were magnificent however we found the the kingfish was overly sour and steak tartare had vinegar overpower it completely which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I would come again for the steaks.

The most professional service I’ve come across outside the CBD. Very well trained staff. The food was very fresh , beautifully presented and tasty. Great wine selection. A beautiful spot on the beachfront, just a little noisy.
