It was Father's Day on September 1st and no prizes for guessing who chose this place, because it's was father's day the restaurant had on a special, all dad's get a free beer and kids eat free which was a bonus. When I called to make reservations the restaurant was fully booked out which is no surprise and the earliest we could get in was 2pm. So we got there right on time, walked into the restaurant and waited to be served.
The restaurant was still full when we got there at that time although it looked like most guest were finishing up their meals, the wait staff was busy running from one table to another, no one notice we were standing waiting to be served, it was a good 10 mins before we manage to get the attention of someone which I think was the restaurant manager as he was in a suit. It was good thing he was apologetic for making us wait as by that time I was ready to walk off as I'm not the most patient person. Since it was a nice spring sunny day we opted to seat outside.

Looking thru the menu we ordered the salt and pepper calamari as an entree to share because we were all starving by that time since we had no breakfast all of us scoff the entree down in no time even our daughter had a go at it. Hunger aside the entree was done really well, the calamari was cooked just right and the salad that accompanied it was light and fresh.
Our daughter had her meal serve to her first which she was grateful for as the poor child was absolutely famish, she decided on the kids fish & chips. The fish was really fresh and the batter was light, I had a pinch of it as remember we had not had anything to eat since morning.
Hubby opted for the porterhouse steak with peppercorn sauce which is served with mash and onion marmalade because he has to have salad with his meals he ordered the mix green salad on the side, the steak was cooked the way he liked it and the mash just melted in your mouth.
I had the seafood pasta which was tossed with an olive oil dressing, it was light and pasta was done just right. There were generous serving of fish, clams, mussels and succulent prawn which unfortunately I could not have so hubby benefited from it. Overall the food was tasty and will definitely make a return visit to try their other items on the menu.
