Visited this place after a google search of the area. Great food (huge menu!!!) , service amazing - friendly , helpful staff. Views great ( under Reno’s whilst we are there) Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating . Great spot for a cold bevy & great feed. Plenty of parking . Lots of stairs though to the bistro .

The food was amazing and the staff are friendly and wait on you hand and foot.
The only down side is you can’t see the ocean but that’s only because of the windbreak of scrub separating the beachfront from the residential areas.
They pay attention to any dietary requirements and even though the food is slightly pricey and might take a while to get to you, it always turns out worth the wait.
Would recommend/10

Everything was really nice.

Booked in advance so that we didn’t have to wait when we got there. Upon arrival got served very quickly. The venue had lots of places to sit with a nice beach theme. The service from staff was exceptional, they were very friendly and patient when accepting orders as well.

The food was very tasty too. For entree we had some arancini balls and then a beetroot hummus with focaccia. The arancini balls were the best I’ve ever tasted from anywhere ever. Would recommend to everyone. The beetroot hummus was fresh and light compared to a normal hummus, perfect for a hot day. It came with focaccia, and also a gluten free option too.

For main I had the Tasmanian salmon which was very delicious as well. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Crunchy skin and tender meat. This was the star of the show but the whole dish was tasty.

Had some Palais fried chicken and the fried dumplings and both were nice too. The fried chicken is moist and tender inside and crispy on the outside. You have a choice of a few sauces but all of them tasted good in previous feeds. The dumplings were a bit different to me as I’ve never had fried dumplings like that before. The flavour profile was also interesting with flavours I couldn’t figure out, but it was unique and delicious.

Overall a great place to go for any meal of the day, especially in the warm summer days as you’re located right along the beach.

Both indoor and outdoor dining areas are spacious. It's great to sit outdoors on a sunny day, dine under a sun umbrella, and enjoy the sea view at the same time. The food is good, the service and atmosphere are great.

Stopped in for a quick snack and drinks, dined in at the downstairs bar. Good live tunes and lively atmosphere. Big screens with the football on was a bonus for the fans.
Food & drinks were great, service could have been better with some smiles.
Would be back to try the Bistro dining or upstairs area.

Food was amazing and at an ok price. Its very noisy inside which is a bummer but it's otherwise pretty good. Staff at the front door are a bit blunt but staff in the venue are lovely

Had a fantastic experience at this outdoor restaurant right next to the beach! The location gave off amazing beach vibes, and the atmosphere was both relaxed and vibrant. The music set the perfect tone, making it an ideal spot to enjoy great food and soak up the coastal energy.
