Critics'Pick

Contemporary$$

With a backdrop of Norfolk Island pines shifting in the coastal breeze,and far-stretching views over North Cronulla beach,this all-day eatery nails the relaxed long lunch.

Soft light washes over white wood in the luxe dining room orientated around that million-dollar vista,and with James Metcalfe heading up the kitchen,it’s win after win on a menu that mixes seafood and hefty grills.

Angel hair pasta twirled into a cocoon sits alongside nubs of prawn in an umami loaded XO sauce. Scallop ceviche tangs with citrus and wafer-thin pickled peach,while slow-cooked trout comes in lemongrass broth,topped with tempura lion’s mane mushrooms.

The glass-walled wine room hints that the drinks list means business,housing Grange and well-aged Barolo alongside more everyday drops. Pair that big red with a nicely crusted koji-cured steak,then for afters,go dainty with the prettiest millefeuille and strawberry sorbet.
