We happened to be walking along looking for food at an unusual time of day - when lunch service has finished and dinner not yet begun. Lot 104 was advertising their 4-5pm Tapas deals - free drinks with every tapas plate. For 2 of us (we had not eaten lunch), we ordered 3 tapas plates and got 3 free drinks. I had 1 glass of wine and my husband had 2 craft beers. The free drinks were not limited to house varieties but whatever you choose off the regular drinks menu. But the highlight was the food! Only $14 a plate, the food was top notch - beautifully served, large serves. We ordered Steamed Prawn & Vegetable Gyozas in a bamboo steamer w/soy dipping sauce - yum!! Garlic, chilli & ginger marinated mooloolaba king prawns with thai lime dressing - double yum! The prawns were huge, fresh and cripsy! Haven't had such good prawns in many many years! Plus salt & pepper calamari w/ sweet chilli aioli. Oh how I wish we could have stay longer to go back again for dinner service. Highly recommend. Great service too. Well done.

I think it's was a great choice. There's nothing like starting your day eating by the ocean. The food was very good and just the right portion size for most (except me of course as I am a little bit of a glutton lol). The staff was efficient and attentive. No complaints here

Such a promising menu and waitress…read more Food came out with no cutlery, had to wait for such a long time with hot food. All the front staff were standing around just watching the beach. Our drinks were not provided until we nearly finished our breakfast, our coffee was undrinkable and the smoothy never appeared. Such importance of team work to back the client facing staff.

Seating off the side of the house is covered, with a fleece blanket should it get chilly. Cute touch. Large selection of beverages and the 3 beers on tap change weekly.

We ordered chicken Kiev, side of shoestring fries, which we washed down with a Kirin apple and ginger cider. Didn't get time for dessert but will come back again!

Which was also faultless. Haloumi cigars, all in all a great night. So yes do come.

Had dinner here on Tuesday evening. The venue is beautiful and well decorated. If you like sitting…read moreat a table, there are few to choose from. Most of the seating is alfresco (wear layers), and on outdoor lounges. It's a great place to grab a drink and snack before the movies. There was no dinner menu, which seemed a bit bizarre. There was a breakfast and lunch menu, but there were only shared plates on offer from 3pm onward. We got a broad selection of food and the portions were more generous than we anticipated, so keep in mind it is great for groups. We shared the warm olives (good), the truffle arancini balls (decent), the grilled halloumi (yum), sweet potato fries (yum), and the trio sliders (not recommended). The sliders were super disappointing, all super dry. If we hadn't ordered those we would have needed another shared plate to compensate. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked good, I wish we had tried the prawns instead. There were a lot of comments on GOOGLE about poor service, but we thought it was good service with a friendly staff and the food was sent out super quick. I'd like to think we would go back, but not for dinner. Most likely drinks on the patio and maybe some small bites.

She was quite surprised to find that out, but that's Yelp's problem, so if you are interested in going to dine here, I would recommend it as they do cater for all sorts of intolerances as well, but open at 4pm NOT 7am as it says on here. If you need to book, go to their own website and you will find the mobile contact phone number for them. Good luck and enjoy your dining experience. Antoinette S

We were in Mooloolaba for a long weekend and managed to hit good bar twice; once for breakfast and…read moreonce for dinner. We tried to go for dinner on our first night but it was packed out and most people had a reservation. Made a note to reserve, and it was worth it. For breakfast I had the bacon and waffles, and they were great. Excellent waffles, crisp but soft and fluffy and served with maple butter and maple syrup. A couple of days later we went back for dinner and I got wings, the larger size, with ranch. I couldn't eat all of them, massive serving. Hubby got the chicken and waffles, chicken was crisp but the batter/seasoning needed more flavour. We were able to take our leftovers away and they were great the next day too. Would definitely recommend for breakfast, and probably for dinner too, if you book ahead and choose wisely on the menu.
