I had an amazing breakfast here this morning! The staff were so friendly and made me feel truly welcome. The food was delicious - everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. I especially loved the ocean view it made the whole meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for starting the day. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area! I had a great meal here. The wait time was a little wait longer but once the food came it was worth it. Big portions for what you pay and my eggs benedict tasted amazing, the eggs were properly done with 2 pieces of sourdough toast and loads of bacon! I also had some grilled halloumi on the side which was grilled just right. Coffee was also great, would recommend for some tasty brunch. We had a beautiful meal with our family here while holidaying at Surfer’s. Steak was beautiful with the best pepper sauce I’ve ever had. My wife loved her pumpkin dish and the kids loved the kids pizza. Great atmosphere - great vibe and friendly service. Would definitely return!

The lamb was quite tough, which was disappointing, and the service missed the mark. I asked for the entrée to come out first, but everything was brought out together with the main. On top of that, I ordered a red wine and was given a XXXX instead. The staff member didn’t seem to be listening, which took away from the overall experience. The rest of the meal was fine, but the service definitely needs improvement.

Yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤. We ordered the Baltic Avo smash - looked amazing - tasted amazing. Very earthy with lots of flavour and texture - clean eating. The potato rosti - very delicious- the hand pressed potato- I really enjoyed - always love a good bit of halloumi. The colours and presentation of the food was amazing. The coffee was really good and Tropicana juice was delicious. Excellent place to dine if you are vegetarian and like a nice healthy meal. The service was great. Dine with views of Surfers.
