There are so many different varieties of fish and shellfish to choose from, it sometimes takes me a good half hour to make my choice. One of my favourites are the pre-made Oysters Kilpatrick, you just bring them home and pop them into the oven for 10 minutes and bon a petit! These are great if you are entertaining and running short on time, just serve them up with a bottle of bubbles and you have a very impressive entrée. You can't go past the local prawns, big and full of flavour, these little beauties sell like hotcakes during peak holiday periods so make sure you pre-order.

I cannot stress enough how terrible my experience at this buffet was. From start to finish, it was…read morean absolute disaster. The majority of the food was disgustingly bad. The meats were of the cheapest quality imaginable; tough, bland, and downright revolting. Don't even get me started with the steak. It was cold, slimy, and completely inedible. I genuinely couldn't stomach it and couldn't even finish. Even when I waited for a new batch the second time it was still the same. The only remotely edible part of the meal was the dessert which still couldn't salvage my appetite. Another disgusting thing was the self service ice cream station, which I did not touch. Yeah I'm not exaggerating, anyone could scoop out the ice cream, no staff were serving and no gloves were used, which was downright unhygienic. The sanitising bucket wasn't changed the entire hour I was there and the scooper was left sitting in a mix of old gunk. It was obvious that cleanliness wasn't a priority and it was unsettling to see such poor attention to basic food safety. What made it even worse was the response when I complained. I was met with pure hostility. Nelson, the manager, was beyond unprofessional talking over me, defensively rambling, and insisting that all the staff claimed we had finished all of our plates. This was an outright lie. We didn't finish anything because most of it was terrible, but he refused to listen and instead tried to shift the blame. No direct apology, no offer to make things right, just excuses. Very dismissive and trying to get us out. Claimed that they have the best quality in food and service This place is a complete joke. Save your time, money. I'd rather eat dog food than go back here. Avoid at all costs.

A young woman greeted us at the service desk and presented us with seats outside, we looked out at the bay admiring the lights of the hornibrook bridge and further along to kipparing and woody point.

We decided that a great way to spend the end of the first day of 2014 was sharing some fish and…read morechips by the seaside close to home. We settled on either Sandgate or Shorncliffe but as we passed the local fish and chip shops we were put off by the 10 deep queues. We noticed the Full Moon Hotel, which is neslted along the beach road, high on a cliff overlooking the water and bushland. We were lucky enough to snag a table with a view, although the table wasn't clean it seemed a better prospect than being sandwiched amongst the other diners without a view. The tables are set very close together to the point where I can tell you the business of all the diners who sat near us. The menu is a little expensive for what I would consider to be bistro style food. We settled on the beer battered Fish and Chips for twenty-one bucks a plate. It was well presented and tasted fresh but it didn't stand out from any other fish and chip plate I have had in the past. The customer service was friendly but in a superficial kind of way, I didn't feel like my experience was really all that important to them. It was nice to be able to walk off the stodgy fish and chips along the boardwalk afterwards. Good option if all the fish and chip shops are closed or too busy.

It's conveniently located in Carseldine Central where parking is plentiful. I wasn't expecting too much when we went there, and I was pleasantly surprised by the food.

The drinks were made from scratch and were refreshing and scrumptious! I loved the Lychee twist and Lemon Lime and Bitters. Service was friendly and attentive, making this restaurant a good alternative to Sunnybank where service is an afterthought (and often feels like taking a trip to Timbuktu). This restaurant is a great addition to the Northside culinary scene and I expect this eatery to become more popular as time goes by.

As I waited for my friend to arrive I noticed the eat in servings were huge, and they all looked delicious. We just went with a couple pieces of barra and some chips, and yes, it was a very healthy serving (we didn't finish the chips, only I finished the huge slab of fish).
