After being ignored over the road at the beachfront cafe, my wife and I walked over to this place one saturday, looking for lunch.
We told the lady at the counter of our horrible experience over the road and how we had walked out, were hungry and a littel short on time. She was friendly and cordial, offered us a table outside. They then overlooked and ignored us (they were not even half full). Two staff members went on a break, stood next to us outside and lit up smokes. the rest of the staff fluffed about rearranging tables and re-cleaning things. After about 20 minutes of being walked past and ignored we walked out. This place is a joke. The two times we had eaten there previously the food was passable and the coffee ok, but the service, like many other places, is total rubbish. They cant even deal with refugees from their competition with any skill, attention, or even common decency. There is obviously too much money around, that businesses that ignore, SMOKE ALL OVER and generally neglect their paying customers can stay open.

I eat and drink here at least once a week and have done for 2 years. The steaks and seafood are the best in the area, bar none. They also do really good pizzas. It's loud and lively with good entertainment. The staff are the thing that make the place, all very friendly. The only thing that needs improving is the service which can be a little erratic at times. But the steaks!! And the fish!! Karen's crew of people and the great food make this the best place in the area.

I have breakfast here a few days a week, lunch at least twice a week. The service is fast and attentive, they hardly ever make a mistake. They have great breakfasts and the coffee is always good and consistent, regardless of who is on the machine. It is very loud inside so I normally sit outside. If they killed off the smokers section. added a couple more lunch options, and added wi-fi i would give it 5 all the way. Reliably good places are hard to come by.

We decided on a quick lunch on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The place was only half full and there were plenty of staff. After sitting for 15 minutes without even being given a menu I politely asked one of the two teenage robots repeatedly cleaning surrounding tables for a menu. I got a smirk and a 'sure'. Two menus were sullenly delivered. We then say for another 15 minutes watching people who arrived after us get served, and one family of 4 who arrive after us actually receive their orders. After half an hour we still had not been asked for our order we walked out. We were sitting outside, in the middle, in plain view, but the staff were bored and inattentive. Someone has obviously gone to a lot of trouble and spent a lot of money setting up a cafe in such a wonderful spot. However the staff there will probably send the place broke if the economy tightens up even a little. We live only 5 minutes away and will NEVER go back. There are plenty of good places around but this place is all views and no service.
