Weekend Lunch for Two
A late Saturday afternoon lunch on a stunning day outside was beautiful. Staff were attentive and meals were amazing. We chose the $75 per person option and there was more than enough food. The cheese was crispy and light, the octopus tender, and the dips were all delicious. Then came the main platter—a full bug each, large succulent scallops and crispy fried calamari.

Lunch with Friends
Yesterday, my friends and I enjoyed this fabulous Greek restaurant in Woy Woy. The restaurant has its own rustic style, and I think that adds to the enjoyability of the experience. They had an exciting menu—and I don’t say that very often at all.
The entrées were so tasty, with a selection of dips, breads and sardines. There was a large choice of mains for lunch. I had the slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was delicious. It could have been a little warmer, but it was a cold day.
The service and staff were very friendly and attentive. Lunch was a huge success and we’d happily go there again.

A Relaxed Lunch by the Water
My partner and I just enjoyed the most outstanding food today. Rich, slow-cooked succulent lamb. Moussaka to die for.
Beautiful atmosphere, stunning view. The staff were so attentive and friendly. Thank you all for a stunning lunch. Will return time and time again.
