Great atmosphere both indoors and out. Great service, friendly staff. Nice place to gather as a group or just a few mates.

Has been one of my favourite spots for a while now. Staff is super friendly including security and the best part is its dog friendly lol. It's my go to spot to chill out and have some drinks with mates or even taking a someone out on a date. Recommend everyone comes here

Always a good feed here and a large selection of drinks available (beers on tap plus international beverages).
Staff always friendly, great views, they bring the food out to you and the chance to change the music (DJ tablet to put your song requests onto) kept my kids happy for sometime too.

Plenty of seating in and out and the wait time for food is normally minimal.

My partner and I thought we’d share the calamari and some chips for a casual night on the waterfront, our awesome server Maria made the night so special. She was lovely and the food was incredible!

Cool space. Good drink selections and specials. Craft beer is a fairly standard affair and nothing too special. Great place to hide from the heat

Noisey place with staff who are too busy talking and screeching amongst each other to serve customers.
The saving grace of this place is the quality of the food which is top notch.

Had lunch there on Boxing Day. Asked if I could have a cloth so I could wipe down a table for my wife and I to sit at. The girl responded rudely and abruptly and said she would do it. One of the Keno TVs came up with a blue screen error reporting an issue with memory on the computer that would have been easily diagnosed and fixed within a couple of minutes. As I work with computers for a living, I offered the bloke that was struggling with it some assistance. I was discounted so much that the bloke just walked away from me whilst talking. I understand there are probably contractual issues as well as the untidiness of accepting assistance from a bloke having a beer (I had only just arrived and it was my first) but I don’t think I deserved to be so rudely cast to the side and essentially ignored. My wife ordered the pulled pork tacos, she asked me to try it and tell her what I thought. I tried it and immediately put it back on the plate. It didn’t taste right, almost like it had been boiled and was slightly off. It was horrible. We told the waitress who apologised and said she would tell the chef. That was the last heard, she never got back to us. My wife has a very upset belly today. We have a strong suspicion that it was the pork that caused it. On a plus side, the BLT that I had was delicious.

Fantastic dog friendly pub with an amazing beer garden overlooking the wave pool on the waterfront. They even brought my pooch out her own treat and a water bowl without me saying a thing. Great food and amazing atmosphere, my new favourite.

Great outside decking! Lovely for a couple of beers in the afternoon from their great selection! Friendly staff, we were served by Laura and she was amazing. I will definitely come back.

Charge too much for small amounts of meat. Darwin seems to follow the same theme.
They've used the location to there advantage to charge a high price for low quality chips and small servings of meat (i had 2 nuggets in my chicken burger and the parmi was the size of a baby's hand) but tasted yum. I would definitely come back if there servings were larger or the charge was lower.

Good spot. Sold out of some of the dishes early. So I had the ribs. They were great. Tuesday night special

Great atmosphere, delicious meals (they even have Seniors sized meals) and nice cold drinks with a good view, all served up by friendly staff!

Nice food and drinks, however terribly disorganised service. 5 of us ordered at the same time, and there was over an hour between when the first dish (chicken parmigiana) and last dish (also a chicken parmigiana) were served to the table. Even those who had paid for meals in the same order/payment received food at vastly different times. We also weren’t greeted when we arrived and had to walk around until we found a table with our name on the reserved sign and grab our own menus from a neighbouring table. Ordering system is unclear and messy. Disappointing for a place with so much potential. Food was overpriced given the size and how long we had to wait for it (we also had to order ourselves at the bar, so barely saw staff the entire night)

A busy and exciting place. Lots of seating. Nice views over grassed area and wave pool. Modern and clean. Would like to visit here again

Family went to the waterfront precinct tavern for Easter and the food portions are small for mains. It's not fine dining so I don't understand. The service is shocking and when you ask the cashier where the order is made he couldn't be much ruder. It was busy but the attitude displayed is unacceptable. Don't eat here go somewhere else.

Love the food, love the service, love the outdoor eating area. It just smells really gross inside, if there was table service outside and I didn't need to go inside - definitely a 5 star venue.
