   Very nice atmosphere, nice iced latte. Good shade for outdoor seats and friendly service.

   Awesome food. Pork belly was tender and juicy and the apple sauce was so well balanced. The snapper was cooked to perfection. Arguably the best cheesecake I've ever had. There was a wonderful bit of theater, watching the chocolate bomb melt from the hot chocolate sauce being poured over it. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, 100% deserved her tip. Definitely recommended and will be back to try more dishes.

   Nice buzzy cafe in quiet beachside suburb. We went in a Monday night and expected it to be quiet, so we’re surprised when the restaurant slowly became full. Their theme nights may have something to do with it .. everyone loves a bargain .. plus the only decent restaurant that seems to be open in the area in a Monday night. We were very thankful and had a lovely night .. colourful cocktails and 2 courses. The food is ok by North Shore standards although it is disappointing the lack of vegetarian options. Not even a vegetarian main on the menu and had to be creative with the salad to ask them to swop the chicken out with haloumi, which they did do, no problem. It is quite pricey for the shore too, but a nice atmosphere and they went to a bit of trouble for one of our parties birthday desert which was lovely. This restaurant has been here for ions of time and still managing to pull out the stops.

   The restaurant was great! It's perfect for kids, and they have a good wine and drinks selection. The food was tasty, and the portions were a good size for the price.

   My family, partner and I visited Paper Moon last night (with a reservation) and we were given the honour of being served by Lucy. Lucy was a great server, she was friendly and didn't talk as if she was reading off a script. We'd all 100% go back just to be served by her. She also recommended that we moved tables as the table we were on previously was tiny for the 4 of us. Not long after switching tables (roughly 5-10 minutes) the table was properly sanitized and cleaned by another server. So cleanliness was a 10/10! Onto the food, we got the Grazing Board appetizer to start and there was such a wide variety of samplers and everything was extremely well made, tender and flavourful. Great starter; 9/10. But along with the appetizer we ordered, I got a chocolate milkshake. I had my expectations high, maybe a bit too high. To everyone it just tasted like milk with a very VERY slight hint of chocolate. 5/10; you're better off with a soda or water. My partner ordered the Scotch Fillet and they loved it, though I felt as though it was too charred on the top. Overpowering the taste of the steak. But the steak fries that came with it were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall; 8/10. My mum ordered the Grilled Salmon with Risotto, the salmon completely melted in your mouth, vegetables were perfectly cooked, not too hard, not too soft. This would make a perfect 10/10 dish, but I think the risotto was a bit too salty. Which kind of made anything that was touching it have a distinct saltiness taste. I'd give this another 8/10. My pop ordered the Beef Wellington, which we were told would take 30 minutes, but it came out with almost everything else. Everything tasted amazing. From the pastry down to the sauce. The beef was perfectly rendered and the pastry had a small amount of cheese separating it from the pâté. Even the mushrooms in it were extraordinaire. The only complaint he had with it was that it was a bit too small, but I give it a 9/10. And finally, I ordered the Salt & Pepper Squid Salad. Which at the time I was surprised that it took the longest, everyone's food had already come out and it took maybe an extra 5 minutes. I didn't expect much from a salad but when it came out I understood why it took longer. This was by far the best and biggest salad I have ever seen and ordered. We also thought the squid was going to be small cuts of squid but it ended up being multiple big tender-sized chunks of squid that were perfectly tender and fell apart in your mouth. The salad itself was a bit flavourless but if you incorporate the sauce/dressing that's given with it, it becomes a whole lot better. This, in my opinion was the best dish of the night. 10/10. Now, onto dessert! When we were thinking of what to order we had asked Lucy how big the desserts usually are and instead of her telling us some fancy wording on why it's small, she told us straight up, which we loved. We ordered the Tiramisu and the New York Cheesecake, both were quite small but it was a good portion for the 4 of us considering we were all full from our mains. The Tiramisu wasn't the best I've had, but it was definitely a sight for sore eyes. Looking at it I felt like I had travelled to Italy! The mascarpone was pretty good but the lady fingers were too hard and crunchy. It was as if I was eating a scotch finger. I give it a 7/10. And as for the New York Cheesecake, it was amazing. It was moist, flavourful and the base was a perfect texture and consistency. Though it was a bit too flavourful. The berry and passionfruit compote was very overpowering. If you put them together all you can taste is the passionfruit, but if you try it separately it just becomes too much, so try the cheesecake with a small pinch of the compote. Overall I give it an 8.5/10. We just want to give a big thank you to Lucy for an unforgettable night and we will definitely come back just for you! This is a great place for a family dinner, a date night or just drinks with your mates. Come give this place a try! (All pictures hopefully in the same order)

   The menu was different to what we had seen online (so I have posted pics, though we were told it's going to change again soon). Which meant they had changed since if the things that we wanted to try. The food was tasty and well cooked.

   Food serving is always great here. You know exactly what you're getting. They just need to clear the table quicker next time so customer can find a place to sit sooner.

   Was very good, little bit inconsistent with the same food on two consecutive days. One day I was brought butter cream with my bagel and next day there was done

   We haven't been back here in a long time so it was nice to find that their prices are still reasonable. They have good portions too. We were so full that we could not finish the extra wedges that we ordered (had it as takeaway). We enjoyed the 21 day eye fillet and the parmesan crusted snapper. They're both very tasty. The tiramisu was deconstructed but was also delicious, which capped a very enjoyable dinner so thanks a lot for that. The chocolate bomb seems to be the most popular dessert though. We'll try it next time.
