Thirroul the suburb is gorgeous! And if you like Italian food this is the restaurant to go to. It is in the Ryans hotel but is relaxed and kid friendly. Love going her for Sunday lunch with the family. Mains start from 15 dollars so reasonable compared to other places. I love their pasta! I had pasta carbonara last time and it was so good! If you arent with the kiddies there is a cocktail bar next door where you can have a drink after your meal so it is great for families or couples.

This is a really convenient restaurant to go to for casual dining as it is in the upstairs of Ryan's bar. We went there as a group and got a nice area on the balcony. Food is pretty average though - nothing very exciting. I ordered a salad and asked for chicken in it and really confused the menu - clearly they are not used to people ordering something with a bit of a change from the menu. For drinks, you need to go to the bar which is fine but it was a busy saturday night with a few parties on so took a while to get to the bar each time.
