I suppose anyone can have an off day. There weren't too many people here when we wandered in but by the time we were ready to go the place was packed...and this was just for the breakfast menu. My dining buddy had the beef toasie and I had the eggs and bacon. All good. The cappuccinos were good enough to have a second cup too. The service was fast and attentive; there being two grey haired ladies, a young woman and a bloke who delivered the meals from the kitchen. Since we were last there there has been an explosion of pictures of dogs and a couple of cats taking up the three walls. The place is clean and comfortable. It is not a cheap meal but a good meal and worth the detour of the main drag.

It's been several years, but our intimate tour of this winery was another highlight of one of my…read moretrips to Australia. We were able to speak with the owner, see where the grapes are grown, see where the wine was stored, and sample a number of the wines. I imagine the place has changed a lot since we've been there, but I still remember how well we were treated, and how delicious that Australian wine was. The saddest part of the entire trip is that I carried two bottles of wine home with me. I didn't put them in my baggage because I didn't want them to break. Consequently, when it went through airport security in Sydney, they simply took the bottles and dropped them in the trash. I was unable to take them with me on the plane. It was enough to make a grown man cry.

The seagulls are annoying as they do come near you if the food is not surrounded by people. Otherwise they are just there, watching... There are two sections - cold seafood and the fried seafood. You get to choose how you want your fish to be done - battered, crumbed or grilled. Besides chips, there are also some salad sides that can be ordered. I had the crumbed fish (almost like the Japanese panko coating which did not overwhelm the fish) which was freshly fried and good. My friend had the grilled barramundi which was equally good and fresh. We also had the salt and pepper squid (calamari) with chips which were so-so as it was salty to me. From the cold seafood section, we bought 1/2KG of cooked prawns which were huge and sweet. A bit too salty at times as they were pre-seasoned with salt. What's with all the salt in Australia? The raw oysters (pre-shucked and shrink-wrapped in a tray) were gorgeously delicious. Super fresh with no fishy smell or taste to it. And the price was good too. About $11 for a dozen regular size rock oysters. How could you say no to that? Most people order the food for take away but you can dine outside on the patio. Just remember to clean up after yourself so that the seagulls do not get to the waste. The bins are right there. Bring your own sauces if you do not wish to purchase there. Also your wet wipes to clean your hands. There are no washroom on the premise but there is one at the end of the parking lot where the sailing club building is. Parking is easy. Just relax and enjoy the food and view while you dine on fresh seafood. This is definitely a go-to place if you are in the Gong area.
