4.5 / 5.0(2,014 reviews)
Large table arrangements make it a great meeting spot for a dozen or more people. Great staff serving the tables. Plus it’s dog and kids friendly! McLeod’s Paradise craft beer on tab & very large sized pizzas with excellent crust and topics, all make it an excellent choice to come here for leisure or business. Only downside is the parking in the area, depending on time and date can be challenging, lots easier when you come by foot, ferry, bus or scooter ;) An incredible evening with my grandmother thanks to Berta and Daniel. Was quite chilly outside with no space inside for two inside, so he brought around a heater, hot water bottles, and blankets for us to keep warm at sunset. Food was impeccable, and the sweet potato fries are a must. Great service and wonderful food with a prime location right on the wharf. Had lunch and Flat White Espresso Martinis. Loved the drinks and adored the baked brie, fish bites, and prawns, which had a surprising presentation. Outlook over the water was an added bonus. Thank you Daniel and team for looking after us.
