Like many Noosaville restaurants, serves bland, very average food. Service on the night was laughable. Looks good, doesn't work. Won't be back.

Food - what there was of it, was excellent. But for $42 for a main could have included a bit more garnishing. Only 3 sides available - "Mash", "Mixed Salad", or "Seasoned Vegetables"? Took me back to the 70s!

Service was spotty, and the room is cold and unwelcoming. We ate better the next night for $100 less in another restaurant. Divide the room, beef up the serves, modernise the side dishes, and just maybe we would try again.

Recently moved, about 10 metres! Nice setting near the wharf/river. Enthusiastic, friendly service. Tasty food, with a varied menu. Fully BYO. An excellent reliable place. Worth a visit (or two).

Edit - been back, and can only reinforce what has recently been said. A great BYO restaurant, run professionally, with an excellent menu, and a chef who will try to accommodate food allergies etc. Should rate much higher than the 6.5 - something's wrong with Eatability's rating system! There are very few restaurants in the Noosa area as good as this one.

Very classy. Staff who knew their stuff - and knew their menu. The menu looks a bit daunting, until you either figure it out or ask advise. Good value for good food and service.

Staff seemed unhappy to be there. Setting is 1970s kitsch. Food very ordinary.

At last a good Thai restaurant in the Noosa area. This one has been there for a few months, and is always busy. We had a delicious meal there with plenty left over for the next night's dinner as a take-away. Three main courses, rice, corkage, $58! Great value and food. Only criticism, ambience poor because of crowded tables and bright lighting. Still very worth a visit.

As reported before, this place is a bad trip back to the 70s. Food like my mother-in-law used to make, served in her style too. Nothing to like, and amazing that so many people eat here. Avoid.

What a gem! I can't believe it took us so long to get to this place. We had the "Romantic Package" - a 6 course mini-degustation. The cost of $150 for 2 includes a bottle of wine from a limited selection of 3, but is amazing value. You choose the entree and main from the a-la-carte menu, and get 4 amuse bouche style dishes, including the Assiette of Chocolate for dessert.

The food is delicious, I loved the flavour combinations, including the "ice cream" with some of the entrees/mains - it works! Service is superb, well trained staff, a rarity these days? Young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. Don't let the "French" connection put you off, this is modern eclectic. The main reason we had not dined here before was that it's predecessor (Bruno's) exhibited all the worst traits of heavy handed, over-sauced, French cuisine, and we were afraid this "new" incarnation would be another in the same mould. It's not!

Service, value, great food, nice setting and it's local for us. Worth many more visits.
