"A great way to spend our 43rd Valentine’s Day together. Seafood platter at Mosman Rowers. Prawns were awesome. Way too much food is the only complaint. Staff were excellent.
Rose’s nearly red.
Friday lunch with a view.
Mosman Rowers for lunch.
Seafood platter will do. 🥂
A bit of a cringe poem but who cares 😂"
