My taste buds are in love. Exquisite flavours…read more Point is several things: a coffee shop, a restaurant, a tapas bar, a wine bar, and a pub with beers pumps and a TV at the back. I was looking for a high quality restaurant. And boy did I find one. Melbourne has many high quality restaurants. And the Peninsula is where we come to be by the seaside. This is quite a culinary challenge as this fine city sets an incredibly high expectation for this little row of small seaside towns to live up to. Point is the most exquisite dining experience I've had so far on the peninsula. I had the Rainbow Trout, which is the reason why the phrase "exquisite flavours" opens this review. Beautifully cooked, and an enjoyable range and combination of flavours on the plate. I followed with the Waffle dessert. This has a similar exquisite mixture of delicate flavours expertly combined together. I'm coming back for breakfast tomorrow morning... ---- cut here Breakfast (smashed avo) was nice.

The menu has a great selection of fairly priced Tapas and drinks. This isnt a bargain bar but the prices are very fair, especially for the fine cooked food. You cannot go wrong with getting a few for the table! Loved the potatas bravas, pork belly, and sausages. They have a small but well rounded selection of beer and I'm hoping someday this summer to see Sangria. Great place to get to know new people and enjoy drinks and fine food near the bay.

To respond by having a 6 foot tattooed man yelling expletives at you and the kids is out of bounds. The soggy food, by the way, consisted of $75 "worth" of four fish, minimum chips, and 3 calamari rings (I ordered nine, but apparently it was my fault they said) I was going to talk to the owners, but after seeing the place getting 2 stars at both zomatoes and TripAdvisor, with the poor service being the reasons for the poor rating, it's likely the problem is so systemic that the place is beyond help

The cafe proper is sometimes open to the elements at the front when the weather is right. It was a cool and sunny day and open to the air was just the right feel today. I had difficulty choosing the food today. The Dagwood Bumstead burger, basically a hamburger with the lot with chips on the side, sounded pretty good. My partner selected the BLT with cheese. The food was old fashioned but good. It was just what we were after. The burger was big, tasty and generous. A substantial meal with done lovely chips. The BLT was very well received too. It was all delightfully retro. There was good music playing too. Nice service throughout as well and the staff seemed happy and engaged. I realised I've been here a number of times over the years and I'll definitely return again.

If it wasn't so good, then tell us" I started to tell the guy clearing our table about the food but he just smiled and moved on. It's sad when the general response becomes "How'd you enjoy it guys" instead of something like "How was everything?"... Or "I noticed you only took one sip out of your coffee... was it ok?" First off our order was completely wrong with our poached eggs being over cooked and eggs we wanted well done being runny. Coffee was extremely average and food was generally over priced. My recommendation is try somewhere else...

The waitress was rude and dismissive to our group of six, who were nothing but polite and easy customers. She also lacked knowledge of the food, considering she appeared around 60 years old working there for a while. Not only this, but we received our bill, and there was a 'dining' charge of $6??? We were not made aware that we are being randomly charged $6? When we asked staff about this, we got told that they add a charity donation to the bill automatically. Although for a good cause, customers need to be made aware of what they are paying for and cannot just be charged without consent. When we mentioned this, we got eye rolls from the staff. Very rude. Would not return here, would rather get takeaway so I do not have to interact with the rude staff!!

The attention…read moreto details and the ease with which Kat just made everything happen really put both of us at ease on the day. From the first meeting to the last guest leaving there was nothing that was too hard. She was always available to chat about the finer details and was always ready with some local knowledge of people who could help out, or had already thought ahead and had a solution that the venue could supply. Some of our guests had very specific dietary requirements that we were a little worried about but the staff were on the ball all night and kept up food for these people that was of such a high quality and abundance that they did not feel in the slightest left out or forgotten. The food in general was just great and there was so much that it certainly did not feel like a cocktail event at all. The kids (and some of the adults!) certainly loved the desserts, especially the ice creams!! We were already sold on the venue but Kat and her team made this the best day it could have been. We have had so many of guests tell us that it was the best wedding they had been to and this is entirely thanks to Kat and all of the staff at All Smiles Sorrento. Thanks once again and you can certainly be sure that we have and will continue to be regular customers who can't speak highly enough of the service and staff at your venue.

Pre-Review Disclaimer! I came here at 9:30am (Opening Time) for breakfast OFF SEASON, but noticed…read moretheir lunch menu looked far more promising. !! If you're coming here in the 'on' season, you might be treated to a simplistic buffet breakfast of Scrambled eggs & a few sides. !! Went on a lovely long walk early in the morning and wound up at Sorrento's beautiful little back beach, right as the All Smiles was opening shop. We chose to sit in the enclosed balcony, because we were the only customers they had - and MAN, the views were ASTONISHINGLY beautiful. We were so excited for breakfast by the beach, it was gonna be a wonderful start to the morning. Except All Smiles doesn't serve breakfast, not really. Not unless you'd count Mousse or Apple Crumble as breakfast, or a Chicken Avocado Focaccia. The menu was very restrictive, and felt like it was aimed at your 76 year old local nanna who likes scones and tea for breakfast - a real juxtaposition to the general atmosphere of the cafe, which is modern and spacious. The scones were in the process of being made when we arrived, which was both exciting (fresh, hot scones! Hells yeah!) and disappointing, because of the 40 minute wait. All Smiles really was not expecting customers so early, it seemed. That said, the staff (or the few that were there) were attentive and friendly, apologising for the wait for several of their menu options (no chicken until the afternoon, so no focaccia, scones aren't done, please wait, yada yada) - but since I'm a reasonably patient person who likes to stare off into the distance with a vague, sleepy expression on their face, I was pretty happy just watching the surf and sipping my latte (it was a good latte.) When the food DID get to the table, I was so glad we ordered the scones, wait or no. They were piping hot, the cream was thick and sweet, and the raspberry jam was tart and delicious. The Egg&Bacon Turkish focaccia looked great, and the Apple crumble was impressive. My only qualm? It's not breakfast food! If you're not gonna offer at least an egg on toast, I don't REALLY see the point of offering desserts as a replacement. Maybe I'm weird, though. To repeat what I said first though, this was just the "breakfast" menu. I did snatch a peek at the lunch menu, which looked much more promising, with curries and soups on it. All Smiles just doesn't really do the breakfast thing - but if you're like Marie Antoinette, and think cake makes a suitable meal, this is the brunch spot for you.

The pros: the staff are friendly, efficient and are authentic Italians. The food is nice and the blood orange granita was fantastic. The cons: a bit lacking in atmosphere, feels a bit cafeteria-like.
