Lily's comment: Good. The restaurant is located at the Sydney side of Tom-Ugly bridge. This is the second time Kevin and I have dined there. On our first visit, it was really quiet due to 'school night' and we had the seafood platter but it was too much for two. It was really busy on Peter's birthday as expected since it's the festive week. Despite the restaurant being busy, service was still adequate. The food is good, especially the oysters, they were really fresh. The portion of the food is really huge. I could not finish my tuna steak. I thought mine was a little bit over done, though, Kevin's tuna steak is cooked just right. They do great value meals if you opt for the daily special offer. It was a great night out.
