When you're perched on a hill watching the waves roll in below,there's something almost pre-ordained about ordering a dish called Surfhouse surf and turf. Especially when the turf is slow-cooked beef rib and the surf is half a grilled lobster tail. That's main course sorted,then. The good-looking menu invariably results in good-looking food,although flavours can be shy,particularly in a jam-packed prawn cocktail that comes thoroughly tossed in mayonnaise. There's more subtlety in a delicate,pale tuna nicoise of seared yellowfin,green beans with fig and black olive tapenade and a handsome salad of pickled white,orange and purple carrots,although the pickling can make everything taste similar. As for the surf and turf,the lobster is sea-sweet and clean-tasting,but didn't quite seem to go with the sticky,wintry,mouth-filling ribs. Service keeps things moving,until a bowl of house-made ice-cream (pistachio,English toffee and coconut) signals it's time to hit either the surf or the turf.
