Other published opinions

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland Score: 15.5/20, One Hat "The waitstaff wear shorts and T-shirts, gliding by on the lovety polished floors that seem to cope with a light sprinkling of sand, fresh from the beach across the road"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 15/20, One Hat "A timbered room (formerly Fins) in a busy pub, a gleefully sculptured "jellyfish" of melted cutlery and a casual yet well-heeled beach house feel provide a truly Byron experience"

Gourmet Traveller 2009 Australian Restaurant Guide Score: * "The best restaurant in Byron? Look no further than this casual but clever addition to the iconic Beach Hotel. Chef David Moyle, previously of Melbourne's Circa, the Prince, oversees a small, sophisticated menu imbued with Mediterranean influences - think fried padr6n peppers with sea salt, milk-fed veal with anchovy butter, and spanner crab spaghettini"

Sydney Morning Herald Simon Thomsen, 11-3-2008 Score: 15/20 "Melbourne's van Haandel family brings relaxed charm and class to this seaside venue with confident food that suits Byron's lifestyle."
