  You'd need more than the view to get us back there again.
  
  What a rip off. We were about to order the reef fish with chips and salad for $15.30 when the waitress recommended the daily special of reef fish and garlic prawns with chips and salad for $19.90 so we went with that.
  
  The plate arrived and initially looked good until we saw the two small prawns sitting on top of a small piece of fish which was sitting on an equally small handful of undercooked chips ... with the salad spread out to fill up the plate. We said to the waitress.. 2 prawns?? It fulfilled the plural for garlic prawns I guess, and she said she'd talk to the kitchen but we heard nothing else. Portion control was certainly in overdrive when we ordered. It was a mean stingy plate of food and it was not unfair of us to expect a few more prawns. In effect we paid an extra $4.60 each to have two small prawns sat on top of our fish!!
  To add insult to injury the waitress whisked the dessert plate away while that precious last two spoonfuls was still to be eaten and I can tell you we needed some filling up after the small meal.
  Complaining to the restaurant we had a polite, thank you for letting us know. yes, truly. All in all a very disappointing $72 spent there.
  
  I have heard there could be a new restaurant management happening soon - roll on the day!!
