Very noisy and lively, which is OK if that's what you want. We only had a beer, and a rose wine. The beer was weak and rather over priced. There is much better and flavoursome craft ale in town.

Popped in for lunch and a drink. Great setting looking out into the bay. Staff very attentive. Street food style menu. Food was delicious and cocktails excellent. Well worth a look in.

What a little gem. My wife and I went here on a Saturday night on a long weekend for dinner. I could not give our waitress enough praise. The place was packed and jumping. And she did not stop the whole time we were there. The service and food were both incredible. Drinks and food both came out extra quick, and the flavour was nothing like I have had before. My wife and I shared a crayfish and prawn Thermidor and I had the “Not a Saint” (Pork belly with chorizo) mash, amazing.

Keep trying to give it the benefit of the doubt but let down every time. Location is incredible but haven’t tried the menu yet as the music playing is so awful we can’t be bothered staying around. Saw heaps of people coming in and turning right back round again to leave. Realise you’re trying for a full Mexican theme but seriously …read your audience!!!!
