Set inside a bright Californian bungalow, you could hardly be blamed for mistaking this restaurant for grandma's cottage. A white picket fence and thick green foliage surround the outside, while displays of paintings and photographs inside showcase the work of local artists. The lunchtime menu offers a modest selection of seafood meals such as salt and pepper squid, freshly shucked oysters, a salmon omelette and even a smoked salmon baguette - although salads, pastas, risotti and burgers are also available. For dinner, the aged Gippsland beef is a standout, served with a kipfler potato and horseradish tart, roasted baby tomatoes and a shiraz sauce. A good selection of wines and some home-style desserts - including a warm chocolate and almond pudding - complete the charm of this snug eatery.
