  Was pleasantly surprised how good the food was overall. The bucket of prawns was the highlight -- they were really good and the dish was a good size.  The fish, in the fish and chips, was very tasty but was a little small and overcooked. The pea arrancini's were delicious and there were 7 or 8 of them.

  Love it here!
  
  Stopped in here for some lunch by the water, and it was the best choice we've made today.  A nice casual place where one would order at the counter, and they will give you a number to place on the table for them to bring the food to you.  There are both in and outdoor seating for you to choose from and just help yourselves.  We were lucky that there were plenty of tables when we arrived but in less than 10-20 minutes, this place was packed and the line to wait for a table was out the door.  
  
  The food here looked and tasted amazing.  Everything was delicious.  We ordered (in Aussie $) the Bucket of Prawns ($39 there were about 15 pieces if not more and some sourdough bread which I don't eat but looked yummy), Green Salad with grilled chicken ($18+$9), chips with tomato sauce ($9 it's really fries with ketchup but they were large and crispy outside and soft inside yum).  To wash it all down, we got some fresh coconut waters directly from the local coconuts.  
  
  The food, service, view and the casual atmosphere were so fantastic that no words can describe this perfect ensemble of a meal we had here.
  
  Highly recommend it here, but please don't come here when I'm here.  Don't like to wait in line.  Wasting my life waiting in line is "no bueno"...ha.

  This place is heaving in summer. The breakfasts look beautifully put together. It's so pretty that you just can't help but admire it before you devour the entire plate.
  
  Servings are not too large but adequate. Service is prompt. There is always a long line but rest assured it moves quickly and so does the wait time for the food.
  
  It's a touch over priced but you cannot fault the location right on the beach by the jetty. The views are stunning as you are surrounded by flowers and carefully picked furniture.
  
  Food is on point. Tried the salmon fritters but the catch is that it's zucchini fritters with smoked salmon on the side, topped with two poached eggs and a cucumber salad on the side and dollop of aioli.
  
  Beautiful spot with great food on a summers day.

  The boathouse is always a good idea!  The food is tasty, served fast, beautiful location with nice views.  Even though the place closes at 4, they stop serving at 3 which sucks!! But they've got a good variety of choices and fresh food.
  
  This is a chain as they have a location at Shelly Beach and Balmoral Beach.
