The restaurant feels very casual and relaxed, but the food that we sampled is very good. TBH - we didn't really order that much off their menu, but here's what we ate: We ordered a dozen oysters - they were well-priced at $2.50 per oyster (well, it was cheaper for a dozen) -- whereas we'd paid $4.50 per oyster in Hobart (ouch!) Oysters were local - from somewhere near Freycinet (if I recall correctly) which is fairly close to Bicheno anyway. The oysters were absolutely superb! Extremely fresh, not too briny, small (though slightly bigger than Sydney Rock Oysters - I don't like the big meaty varieties), really delicious and so creamy! We were blown away by their quality. I remarked to our server ( owner / manager ?) how wonderful they tasted and she replied "It's because we shuck them to order," meaning, not in advance... Lovely! I have to mention the outstanding bottle of wine we enjoyed with the oysters - Freycinet Wineglass Sauvignon Blanc (2017 I think?) -- also local, and one of the most delightful Sauv Blancs I have ever tasted! No joke. (And we were in NZ prior to Tassie...!) So, the pairing of this crisp, very fruity and fragrant wine with the fresh oysters was truly sublime. We weren't actually that hungry so we asked if the kitchen could put together a large garden salad for the two of us to share, which they happily did, and it was lovely and light with grated carrot, sliced cucumbers & tomatoes, plus lettuce (natch) and a nice vinaigrette dressing. I forget what they charged us for that, but it definitely was reasonably priced. Such a simple and casual meal, yet so memorable. Truly one of the highlights of our trip around Tassie (which included a very posh NYE degustation dinner at Peppers Cradle Mtn Lodge - review to follow) - so that's saying something! Highly recommended for a pleasant lunch so you can enjoy the vista. Sunset would be a nice experience here, too.

There was even two tour buses in the parking lot. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm). They have a bit of everything; sandwiches, meat pies, desserts, soups, breakfast and drinks (coffee, tea and hot/cold drinks). - Sausage pie ($3.90 AUD) - our friend devoured this so quickly that we didn't even see it. - Savoury pie ($3.90 AUD) - we tried a savoury pie. It tasted like a chicken pot pie without the chicken. Great crunchy, flaky texture. Will need to try more of these. - Vanilla slice ($5.50 AUD) - our other friend told us these are great in Ozzy. She let us sample; light and creamy. Yum. - Korma curry vegetable ($5.90 AUD) - potato, pumpkin, carrot, peas, spinach, onion, cauliflower, zucchini and sweet potato. Our first vegetarian pie; curry was mild. Decent enough. Good little cafe spot to grab a quick bite.

NOTE: as elsewhere iIn Australia, tomato sauce (ketchup) as well as tartar sauce are NOT free and must be ordered with your meal (cost $AUD 1.50). Because the 20 or so favors of ice cream all looked so inviting as well, we both decided on a cone to fortify us for our afternoon adventures.
