What a surprise.
We wanted a late lunch, and arrived about 15 mins before end of service. Our expectations were not high, and the "Fish Of The Day" had a fairly hefty price tag for a pub lunch,($28.00) My friend ordered a burger, and admitted she is not a burger fan ordinarily.
The food arrived, and to be honest, it looked pretty basic. My Barramundi looked like it had been over cooked, and was presented on a mountain of french fries, with an uninspired salad beside it. Sue's burger looked like a burger to me, which never excites me.
We were wrong. The fish was cooked to perfection, harsh searing on top and bottom, but perfectly flaky, juicy flesh inside. The fries were crisp, the salad was forgettable. Sue claimed that her burger may have been the best she had ever eaten.
It's nothing sensational, and I am sure locals would know better spots for the money, but the way that fish was cooked won me. No, I wouldn't go back. Rushed, panicked and neglectful service in an almost empty bar, average decor and feel to the place, but, hey, they can cook fish and burgers.
