  • Signature Chowder in Baked Rolls

    The house-special seafood chowder is delivered piping hot inside a hearty, hollowed-out baked bread roll.

    OMG the best chowder I've ever had, comes inside a large baked bream roll.

  • An Intimate Hidden Gem

    Tucked away along Marine Parade, this bayside venue delivers an intimate setting that feels like a special local discovery.

    This hidden gem/well kept secret of a restaurant won't pop up in google searches of popular restaurants in and around Surfers Paradise or TripAdvisor lists but trust me, it should.

  • Lobster Mornay

    We chose one of the platters and added, lobster mornay and oysters Kilpatrick.. The seafood was fresh, tasty and plentiful

    Annie Wilson

  • Lobster Thermidor

    Lobster Thermidor: Rich, indulgent, and beautifully balanced. The lobster was cooked to perfection, with a creamy sauce that didn’t overpower the sweetness of the meat.
