Surf shack is a must

Great burger! great flavour & perfect bacon. Impressive Steak & blue cheese salad, tasted amazing as well. Service was fantastic, they were busy but kept us well informed from the start of our wait time and exceeded expectations.

Great scrambled eggs

Visited for brunch and enjoyed scrambled eggs out on the deck in the sun. They were delicious and beautifully presented. Our coffees (long black) were nice and strong but not very hot which was disappointing - the cups need to be heated first! Friendly staff as usual
