The food is consistently praised for being delicious, with special mentions for starters like mussels and desserts.

"On a tour on my motorcycle I saw the sign for the coastal viewpoint & thought I'd stop by.
What a great find, the views are spectacular & the flat white & chocolate cake were right up there too!
As & when I'm touring this part of the world again, I'll definitely be making it a stop off point again."
