This place will be my regular lunch spot on weekends!! Superb location with amazing views. Beef burger was so juicy and packed with heaps of flavour. And calamari rings, they are a bloody winner! Super crunch and cooked to perfection. Fresh salad on the side was so refreshing too. And of course staff was very accommodating and friendly. Strongly recommended
