We couldn't finish it and we tried really hard. Thank God the man serving us was kind enough to stop me from ordering an entrée dish, he reassured me that I would have more than enough to eat and I was wise to I listen to him. So basically unless you want to take away your food at the end of your meal, this giant seafood platter is more than enough for two people without anything else. The service was great too, very attentive even though they can get quite busy later in the night. I would recommend going there early, we were there around 6pm and our food came out really fast. Overall really liked it I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area.

The platter is huge, with oysters (probably the best item), clams, mussels, Moreton Bay Scallops, calamari with halloumi (probably the best non-fried calamari I've ever had), prawns (huge and very tasty), shoestring potatoes and a few other things that I don't remember but certainly enjoyed. Also, given their Tasmanian roots, some of the seafood is unique to La Vida rather than what you see at the other restaurants. This platter is definitely worth one of your evenings in Noosa.

Up at Noosa Moreton Bay Bugs are a joy to behold, if you can find somewhere that be holdin' them. Problem is most places want to show off with my little guys and put them in a ravioli or turn them into some kind of foam or do something weird with them so that they aren't bugs any more. Not this place. It used to be called Lindonis I think - thats probably why I am the first to review it. Fact is its been here for twenty years, but for my 200th review I am happy to declare this place serves the best bugs this side of a dirty Chinese kitchen. BBQ'd with garlic and dill butter. Thats all. And eight, yep eight of the little bottom feeders! It takes very good chef to know that the produce is the star and not the cook. I remember an old mate once told me that in French cuisine the chef is the star and in Italian the food is the star. Here the bugs are the stars. We shared a plate of crumbed calarmari and a plate of veggies, which, because this place is classy, was called a 'stack'. The calarmari was sensational, even though it looked like the sort of meal you'd get at a suburban Pizza joint. I asked why they were so good and the owner told me they were fresh caught, marinated in kiwi fruit for just long enough to tenderise them but not so long as to cook them and that the crumb was a special Japanese technique known only to direct descendants of the Samurai Emperor Bugsansei. And I believe her. Left my phone at home 'cos up here you eat in boardies - your good ones for upmarket places and your old faves for the other places. Keeno has some photos which the kids may be able to upload to this review. I shouldn't even try or I will break something.

We were seated on a small table by the door, by hey if the food is good I can overlook that. I ordered the seafood linguine and my husband had the dinner special which was 3 course for $29 he picked: the cheese bread, the chicken parm and a dessert. My linguine was just terrible: the pasta was over done, there was no flavor - like the usual garlic-butter-lemon that you would expect. There was none of that just bland mush pasta with seafood and some type of sauce. The chicken parm was a big fail as well - they had a big piece of bacon on top which was just not necessary, but the meal itself was very tasteless and just lacking. The service was just OK, nothing special and maybe a bit lacking but not terrible. All in all would not recommend.

It took at least 15 minutes before being noticed and then to order. Regardless of the chaos our breakfasts were quite fine. Bacon & eggs and I chose the poached eggs with avocado and pesto served on rye toast. Coffees were ok - keeping in mind I am used to great Melbourne coffee and the banana smoothies were yummy too. It took me about 10 minutes of waiting at the front counter to actually pay for our meals and no, I didn't leave a tip.

Unfortunately we were left very disappointed with lacklustre attention at the water level restaurant where reception was less than encouraging. Decided to try our luck upstairs for a pre dinner drink. I suspect the G&T suffered a little dilution, aligned with service which deteriorated further in my mind when advised that if we did not order by 1930 we could not expect dinner. At that juncture the decision was taken to move on to an establishment that understood the meaning of Service.

Started with the fig salad, which was fantastic. The nutty bread that came with it was surprisingly impossible not to eat and all the flavors came together well. Had a sand crab as my main. Never had one before so not sure what to compare with but I was really impressed how flavorful it was, had a charred grill taste as well as buttery. Plentiful meat. The accompanying greens were also nice, with apple and walnuts giving it some layers. Overall, truly enjoyed this meal.

The Food: It was 'eh' at best but was priced like it had a Michelin star... a bit ridiculous. We had a starter a tempura something, which was good because let's be honest add tempura and you can't go wrong. For mains we had a seafood pasta (I'll put up a picture too) it looks amazing but the pasta was overcooked and ended up congealing into one pasta lump, the seafood was okay but not really cooked well, or rather way over cooked. They even gave me a mussel that didn't open, so you couldn't eat it, I'm paying for protein but I couldn't even eat it?!?! Anyway I'd say, while the view is stunning you would do well to go somewhere with better food and just walk on the beach for the view.
