We had the unfortunate experience in visiting this place for dinner and were extremely disappointed. We were led to believe there were new owners and to be honest, they didn't know what was on the menu and their staff told us the wrong information about the size of the tapas meals. When they finally came out, we were astonished at the size of the serving on the plates. I ordered scallops and received 4 tough flavourless scallops and a small serving of lettuce. My business colleague ordered the lamb rump expecting a larger serve for $24 and when presented, was a very small serving for the expensive price. We also ordered the prawns and were presented with 3 prawns that also did not taste fres...
We arrived about 7.15 pm for a family dinner. The first thing that struck me was the awful overly loud music emanating from the venue I reckon I have pretty broad taste in music and appreciate giving people a go, but quite frankly the guy couldn't sing in tune. If he stuck with Just playing the guitar it would have been ok. Waitress wasn't much help in choosing dishes for our kids (sadly they don't like spicy food much.) meals seemed slow to arrive and the wait seemed longer as we struggled to have a conversation because of the music. One dish (the ribs) (which I admit our kids did eat) came out on separate plates because they didn't put the right serving on the plate in the first place. It...
Eating area is inviting and relaxed, greeted by local talent performing in the middle of room. Music was tasteful and not overbearing like most places so you can still enjoy a conversation. The menu goes on forever! Great variety of food which was exciting to choose on paper, delicious until the last crumbs and well presented. Love that this place is locally owned and operated, the service is genuine and welcoming. The Oreo cheesecake is a must! Also tried the salted caramel martini and will be back to try another variety next week. Maybe coconut...theres so many choices! Definitely worth a visit or three!
To begin with I'm not sure what made the wine list 'botique' needed more of a range and the mark up on our bottle of wine I worked out to be 330%. Also the wine glasses need an upgrade. The beetroot wasn't cooked enough and there wasn't enough goats cheese in the beetroot salad. The pork belly itself was nice but the sauce that accompanied it had no character. The live music was nice and mellow and added the desired ambience. Wouldn't go back as there are far better options about.

Improvements to the experience would be to dim the lights and change the music, plus avoid removing the rubbish in big loud smelly wheely bins mid meal. Menu was engaging, MrCuddles and I ordered the beetroot salad. MrCuddles: smaller beetroot, less greens. Me: heavy handed on the dressing plus high on the acid notes but acceptable. Barman made technically excellent drinks and was proficient and polite.
What a hidden gem! Great place to spend a Friday night!! Loved all my cocktails, especially the mojito and the espresso martini. The lamb was delicious and cooked perfectly. Really enjoyed the beautiful singer tonight too. Thanks HM! Will definitely be back!
It's disappointing, this place used to offer so much. We came back on the weekend and everything has gone backwards, the staff were not very welcoming and the food was just not very good, we would have said we were regulars but now we will choose elsewhere.
Very affordable menu and a great cocktail list, sadly the "pork belly with crispy crackle" had no crackle. We visited on a very hot night and with no air conditioning, it got a little sticky. Looking forward revisiting on a cooler night!

We had 2 lovely cocktails and some tapas. The scallops with bacon were to die for and the lamb cutlets were perfectly cooked. Thanks for a lovely evening
Great cocktails and wonderful service and the menu was out of this world. Best food in Surfers. Do miss out ..
