Food was amazing and staff were friendly and welcoming. We came on an early Sunday night which was perfect for a nice relaxed dinner. Started to pick up about 6pm but even with a half - 3/4 full restaurant was not overly loud or crowded. We ordered Entree - satay chicken, small portion but just what you want for an entree. Mains - Seafood chowder which was on the specials menu and T-Bone steak. Accompanied by a Merlot Red Wine. Dessert - New York Cheese Cake for desert. Beautifully decorated and relaxed environment highly recommend.

Amazing deluxe seafood platter for two!!! Picture taken after I ate Oysters sorry lol. Cocktails were delicious too. Highly recommend

We ordered two Parwan Prime Angus Porterhouse steaks — one with black pepper sauce and one with gravy — plus the Garlic Prawns fettuccine and a Chicken Parma. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was incredible, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The berry detox smoothie was also great. We really enjoyed our meal here!

I loved everything. Old fashioned personal table service. We were greeted by a happy waitress who noticed I was cold and she seated us away from the door and near the kitchen where it was warmer, the waiter provided excellent personal table service which was amazing. The food was amazing and there is something on the menu for everybody. Atmosphere’s in the restaurant was nice and intimate. Will definitely visit again. 10/10

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with my gluten and onion free dietary requirements. We ordered a seafood platter and the GF calamari. Both were absolutely delish and the seafood so fresh and tasty. We have eaten a lot of calamari and this was hands down, the best we have ever eaten. Highly rate this cafe. Give it a try, I am sure you won't regret it.

What a great dinner! My sister and I shared the Deluxe Seafood Platter, it was so delicious. Staff friendly and attentive, quick service, lovely atmosphere -- the old post office looks fantastic now as the cafe celebrates its first year (since Sept 2024). Have been twice now, plus had two home deliveries, great value. A place I'd happily recommend to family and friends.

I went here for dinner recently and honestly had such a good experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly without being over the top. Our food came out quickly and everything tasted fresh and full of flavour. The menu had a great variety to choose from, and the portion sizes were actually perfect — not too small, not too much. I also appreciated how clean and well-presented everything was. Overall, it was a really enjoyable night out. I’d definitely come back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice spot for dinner.
