We had a wonderful meal there last night. Had read a lot of reviews, good and bad, but we went anyway. Seated by head waiter with a smile. Table waiter came and took orders for drinks. Entrees were delicious. We then received our mains again delicious. We had Pop corn Prawns, Arancini Balls and Calamari for starters. We the had Duck x 2 and a Veal special of the day . All delicious. Thank you for a lovely meal and great service.

I went here for breakfast with friends and it was fabulous. I had the Italian-style french toast, a special, and it was delicious. With the addition of bacon on the side, the huge serving of thick chunks of the italian-french toast, heaps of strawberries, lashings of maple syrup and sweetened cream on the side, plus the addition of bacon, cost only $18! Coffee was great too, and the waitstaff were attentive but not too attentive. Lovely outdoor setting, and they allow you to split bills! Definitely my favourite of the number of eateries I went to in Airlie Beach!

this restaurant was a huge let down...the menu was very poor (luckily, they do have specials of the day) and most definetely overprized! have to admit though, they do have an awesome selection of cocktails. the service was rather hasty despite the fact it wasn`t busy at all at the moment me and my husband arrived. the starters we`d ordered (i.e. garlic bread & pate) weren`t tasting good at all, while the tomatoes on my pizza margherita had a somewhat funny taste to them. however, my husband was over the moon with his fillet steak order it was that yummy! yet again, $38 for such a small steak is just plain crazy! our panacotta was lacking presentation and was brought to us kind of slushy...So yes, it`s a good restaurant located in a very nice place (just opposite the beach), but they have to improve their menu, presentation of the food and most importantly to fix their prices... as for such high prizes i`d expect to receive a fine dining experience, which they don`t really offer at the moment.

On arrival we were taken to our seats and told to "we could stay as long as we ordered quickly". We chose to stay and within minutes of looking at the ridiculously overpriced menu a waiter was at our side to take our order. The food came quick and cold (a little too quick). We ordered mains and no drinks ( on a time limit) thinking gnocchi and spaghetti would be filling enough, once again we were disappointed and counted 12 pieces of gnocchi on the plate!
We left hungry.
This place gets one star only because I can't give it none.

Approximate cost: $60

What an awful experience. If they were that rude you should have complained to the manager. At least you've posted on here for every one to see.
