"Best restaurant/bar/cafe in New Plymouth and everything a beach establishment should be. Unique menu, wide variety of cocktails, live music, comfy seating and can’t beat the ocean views. I got the mimosa and macchiato, and on a separate occasion, the peach punch and garlic prawns. The music was lovely and the service friendly!"
