if you’re looking for a place this weekend to meet up with the large family and consume a large amount of food, this could very well be it. reasonably priced, large portions and decent cooking, this made for an enjoyable mother’s day dinner – I know, I know, it’s the end of the month now – and its way on our list of family-congregation-venues.
it’s a large restaurant with outdoor seating and a surprisinly spacious interior. it was very cosy – good for conversation but with enough visual distraction in case you’ve got one of those awkward families (I don’t, thankfully). their specialties here are platters and ribs – both of which were adequately tasty to deserve that denotation.
the ocean platter a large array of item: battered fish, a rack of ribs, grilled prawns, corn-on-the-cob and -in-the-cornbread-muffins, a couple of sausages and a pile of fries. every component was tasty and went down easily.
my granddad’s portion of fish and chips were rather fantastic – even better than the fillets on the platter. thick fillets of firm white fish encased in a crisp batter. the seafood basket I thought a little less impressive – still a competent rendition though.
our tequila spiked chicken was very good too – tender and moist – especially the breast, and with a well-seasoned skin that the partner was happy to finish.
we were told at the end – when we were stuffed beyond ourselves and had requested mercy in the form of a doggy bag – that our set came with a lava cake. piping hot – with no evil microwaving so oft inflicted on innocent, unknowing cakes – and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was so good we found anatomical capacity we never thought we had. it may not have been the best, nor the highest standard – but it was deep, dark and not-too-sweet.
and so perhaps this is the holy grail of family restaurants. a large menu to satisfy everybody, with competent cooking that’s well able to deal with providing quite these many choices, and food that came hot, fast and very commendable – the staff were friendly, our large order taken accurately; it’s going on a list of reliables.
p.s. I’ve just checked the menu online, and prices seem to have risen slightly since we were there – bringing it from reasonably-priced to just-within-what-you’d-be-willing-to-pay. still a good option for family dinners though!
