We actually wanted to have a light lunch and after our "light" lunch we were not able to eat dinner. Excellent food!

Although the food is awesome, my son is allergic to nuts and it was stressful eating there because so many dishes had nuts.

Always a welcome return to this special place, service is great and craft beers are even better and they have expanded the list to include more, similarly with the menu, always working on ways to improve .....waitering needs some attention in that a bit more profesioanlism is needed but then this is laid back country! Tapas are always great try... More

The stunning blue fairy lights immediately attracted me and when we were led onto the deck it felt like I was in a magical tree house! Service was very good and the food was amazing. My fiance LOVED the Fig and Blue Cheese starter. Thank you and we will definitely visit you again.

Nice place to go for either just a drink or for dinner. Casual clothing, kind staff and their chocolate marshmallow cake is to die for.

Very much very tasty food. Though one must wait a little bit, but for it it is home-made with regional products. We come again with pleasure!

We ate here on our first night at the Wilderness and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere and the waiter was attentive. The food was of good quality and we enjoyed it very much.

We wanted steak but the choice was very limited. My wife had a seafood platter which she enjoyed. A very nice restaurant, good ambiance. I did find the wine list limited and we were not advised about corkage. Staff and service good.
