Good little busy cafe. Stopped in for a quick lunch. Service was ok although sometimes hard to get their attention. The food was satisfying but nothing great. Not bad, but when in the area next time I would be happy to try another place.

Food good, service really bad. Unhelpful wait staff that didn't listen and seemed not to be able to communicate in full sentences. Wouldn't go back again.

Having previously visited here a few years ago and been disappointed with the quality of food and the service, this time it was a different story and we were pleasantly surprised.
Being mid-summer we took the precaution of booking ahead but we needn’t have bothered because when we arrived at 7.15 pm the place was virtually empty. It never seemed to get more than about 60% full with most diners being of the of-the-street variety. And this is another surprise. With its fresh makeover and prime position in the heart of the Coogee Bay Road dining strip I would have thought that they’d be packed. But being half empty suited us just fine. It meant that the acoustics were good and we had the full and undivided attention of the wait staff.
And we got the best table in the house. Inside but right next to the large windows flung wide open to the street with a refreshing, cool breeze blowing in and able to watch all the comings and goings on busy Coogee Bay Rd.
For starters we shared a serve of garlic bread and a mixed salad. This was just right for our table of four. The garlic bread comprised four pieces of crispy toasted bread but without the lashings of butter that sometimes make garlic bread too rich and filling before the main meal.
For mains, I had the spag with meatballs, which was fresh and tasty. The other mains all went down well especially the barramundi fillets served with freshly cut chips and a side salad. Portions were generously sized.
The service was friendly, polite and efficient with minimal waiting between courses. Being a warm, balmy night we decided to skip dessert and coffee and take a walk on the beachfront instead. Our bill came to a reasonable $110, for starters and mains and including corkage of $3 per person.
The single unisex toilet was dirty and wholly inadequate for a restaurant of this size. Being a Saturday night, we struggled to find parking, eventually settling for a spot down Mount Street, which entailed a 15 minutes walk.
Overall, a pleasant dining experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Breakfast Bruschetta is to die for and I love the linguini for lunch. Very chillaxed restaurant, always good food a chirpy waitresses. One of Coogee's top places to eat.

I have come here a few times for lunch and can say that I have never had a bad experience with the food or service. The people working there are lovely and the food is delicious and satisfying. This is my favourite place for lunch along this strip.

Had dinner there last night with a girlfriend. We enjoyed our risotto, glass of wine and cup of tea. The wine is very reasonably priced in comparison to loads of other places. The food serving is very generous! The waitress was friendly and lovely. We left full and content. I'd recommend this place.

My sister and I had lunch here, and it was awful. We both ordered pasta, hers was a marinara and mine was a tomato, olive, bacon type sauce. The seafood in the marinara tasted horrible, like it had been frozen. There was no sauce on the marinara, I would have at least expected a bit of oil on it. The tomato sauce was also pretty bad. You would get better out of a bottle I think. Then on top of the pasta they piled a whole heap of salad!
When I questioned them about this they said it was 'garnish'...it was enough to have as a side salad! So we had to eat our pasta with grated carrot and pea sprouts all through it, topped with Balsamic! oh and again, when I questioned the balsamic on the top she said 'it's not Balsamic, it's balsamic glaze'! go figure.!
So one rule. Do not order pasta if you go there! and don't go at lunch time, the service is terrible. If you want anything you have to get up and find the waitress and ask her to come over. The only good thing was the juice and the sparkling mineral water.

Had dinner at Tropicana on Saturday night. Food was fantastic. We had a Tuna special and spaghetti meatballs with a couple glasses of wine, bill was total $55. Service was great, friendly and efficient. Very appealing restaurant. We plan to go try out their lunch menu next week.

I go to Tropicana quite often. They have free WI-FI which is really handy. Also the coffee is great. I'm very fussy with mu food and the staff are always very helpful to me.
