I got the wagyu deluxe and was presently surprised that it came with onion straws (thin crispy onion rings!)! The bun was great but unfortunately I was very disappointed with the patty which was cooked well-done with poor quality beef - dry and unflavourful, hard to believe it was wagyu. My friend got the atomic deluxe which came with a very thick and crusty bread for bun. The fries had absolutely zero salt. I'm giving this place a 3 because there's a lot of potential. Most of their online reviews are quite poor so I think if they consider their customers suggestions they can really improve! Keen to try the pizzas next time.

It's the best way to experience the range of possibilities. There are about 15 main selections. Service is quick and efficient. Coffee isn't so great. But cafe next door is ok. Ask before drinking next doors coffee in seafood restaurant area. Outdoor scene is right on the sandy border. Kick back and relax. Don't forget your sunglasses. Parking is easy and ample. A quick 45min from North Shore. Even when busy there are people leaving every 2 minutes. Go for a short walk afterwards and admire the shoreline. Best of all .... Free parking. No time pressure.

Fantastic. We went…read morehere on Christmas Eve 2013. We'd booked ahead to ensure we got in for a special holiday meal. The service was good. The building itself is OK, nothing special about the couple of rooms and simple tables. Parking around here is a bit of a pain. But there are two things here that are great: 1. View. It's perched on a hillside looking down over Terrigal, up the coast to Forresters Beach, and out to sea. It's gorgeous, especially if you nab one of the tables right up at the window (which we did). 2. Food. And this is really what's important in a restaurant, isn't it? The dishes - both starter and main - were elaborately built in that fancy nouvelle cuisine way, but were substantial enough to fill you up. I had the goats' cheese and caramelised onion tart with walnut, fig, nasturtium and wild herb salad to start; and the Tasmanian beef with crusted beef cheek, cabernet beetroot, goat's curd and root vegetable sauce for my main. Powerful, rich flavours, beautifully presented. They had some nicely-paired wines too. It is not cheap, however. With entrees around $30 and mains around $45 it's hard to call it value for money. But it is quality.

We arrived at the restaurant for our 6pm booking to be greeted with a "just a reminder we need you to leave by 7.45pm as we have to set up for our 8pm bookings"... What?! First I heard this!! We learnt that the bookings are done in sessions. There is 6pm or 8pm session. At the time of booking we were not made aware of this and only given the option of 6pm for dinner. We were still waiting on a couple of people to arrive which made the waitress edgy and keep reminding us over and over again about us moving on by 7.45 with a gentle "I don't want to rush you but"... Too late! We ordered drinks and the house bread and hummus dip. By 6.30pm some of the party hadn't shown up yet, we were advised it would be best to just order pizzas as the whole tapas and pizza experience would take time and would be best to try another time. So those of us that were there gave our orders which was returned with another reminder of our 7.45 curfew. By 7pm our last 2 friends had arrived they were followed to the table by the waitress and their orders were taken and issued another "I don't want to rush you but". Finally our pizzas arrived, we had the roasted chicken, peking duck, pepperoni and chilli prawn... Delicious! We finished our food with 10 minutes to spare. The waitress returned to our table to remind us that we have 10 minutes which wouldn't leave us enough time for dessert. A couple more drinks were ordered and the bill was requested. Our last drinks arrived as did the bill to which was met with our 7 minute warning. We paid, finished our drinks and left with 1 minute to spare. All in all the food (that we were allowed to order) was delicious but the fact that every time we saw the waitress we were reminded of our 7.45pm curfew with a "I don't want to rush you but" made the whole experience rushed and unenjoyable!!
