There are two dart boards of you are into that and big X O's so you can play a game. Ordered snapper and chips... Was divine. Their portion servings for wine were brilliant!!! If you are going for a snack they have snapper strips and the chips are really good. Portion sizes are good value for money!!!

The food was outstanding, I got the veggie lasagna and from what I've had this whole trip it was the best veggie choice I've had. They also had amazing fish and meat options, the fish was cooked so nicely and the chicken was good (or so I heard from my mom, I don't eat meat so you just have to trust her)

Unfortunately I can give only two stars. The restaurant itself seems to have stopped somehow in the…read more80's. The staff is quite nice, but time to get our food took too long, other guests that came in later got their food faster. As it is the only place in town it is quite full. Now why only 2 Stars: - White wine: 1 Star, absolute no go - Red wine: 3 Stars, was ok - Soup of the day, pumpkin soup: 4 Stars, ok plus - Seafood Chowder: 5 Stars, amazing - Fish of the day with Salat and roast potatoes: 2 Stars, was not good at all, Fish with strange marinade, Salat sauce terrible Fish of the day with french fries and vegetables: 2 Stars, same Fish as above, vegetable overdone, fries not fully cooked inside. In average this gives 3 Stars, but due to the long wait we have to take one star off. Would I go again? Simply NO.

They also had fresh Hoki and Tarakihi available that day - they post the catch of the day on the wall. Clearly a shop that knows and takes pride in its fish. Very friendly and fast, and they do a brisk local business because they are good, but also it's one of the few lunch stops with fresh fast food along the northern highway so a good stop on the way to or from the beaches. They will also cook your own fish if you like!

Absolutely amazing. Stunning view. I give this 5 stars in respect to Northland cafes and…read morerestaurants. If you are driving up north you should stop here for sure. Coffee is EXCELLENT. I am particularly fussy about my coffee and this rivals some of the best I've tried across the globe; London,nyc,USA and Europe. Has the French toast "Frenchie" and my husband had some sort of breakfast with beans. We ended up getting another flat white takeaway as it was that good. They have gluten free options. Cake, etc, pies, hot dogs... A wide selection but all done very well. Highly recommend.
