The food and drinks are a reflection of what is commonly found along HWY 101. Head Chef in the engine room is Jason Wang. His raw creativity has produced a delicious mix of share foods comprising of fresh seafood, North American inspired flavours and Mexican dishes. The extensive wine list is comprehensive yet approachable and includes Australian and international selections.
