Food here is always top notch. Have been here a few times in the past few months and have tried most of the items on the dinner menu. Everything I have had are excellent! I’ve have had (multiple times) : beef Wellington, pork belly, duck, eye fillet, soft tacos, sliders, prawn spaghetti and lamb shank. They are all super yummy and of high quality. The desserts are also a must with decomposed tiramisu (my fav!) and chocolate lava cake to die for. A great selection of drinks on the menu to choose from as well! Definitely a place I will frequent and a good place for any occasion ;) Highly recommend!

With a recent revamp this place is an awesome venue! Great team of people, fabulous food and an unbeatable location!

Could havecused a bit more indoor seating, but they did turn on the heaters for us straight away.

Very poor quality food. Expect to find canned vegetables in your meals. For example, I recently ordered a $9 blueberry banana smoothie; the ingredients consisted of a quarter of a banana, a handful of blueberries, and a cup of water blended together. I did not finish the smoothie.

On Sunday, on the spur of the moment decision, to go for lunch here. Second time, dining in and both times, the food, the staff, the atmosphere, have been superb. Can’t fault this place. I had the Cajun chicken burger and hubby had the beef cheek dish. Both, melt in your mouth dishes. Yummy!

The food was ok but while eating a little girl at the next table said in a loud voice and pointing to the floor "there's a cricket", which was marching towards our table, but it wasn't a cricket, it was a cockroach that had come from the kitchen!

We’ve had many “Mother Earth” meals at Paper Moon over the years but haven’t visited for a long time. Saturday’s “Mother Earth” was underwhelming and disappointing. Look at those messy eggs and the portion is a lot smaller than previously. I received my meal before my husband and watched the waitress serve meals to other tables while I waited. A sad experience for us

Paper moon went form grate to extremely poor. The last 2 visits have seen half asleep dopey staff struggling to get a capachino and veg muffin correct. Constant burnt coffee. I dont plan to come back and you shouldn't visit either

We came in for an early New Year's dinner - Not great. Firstly, we sat in a very hot area with no fan or ventilation. We ordered steaks from medium rare to medium well. They all came well done. The snapper was served with a mint dressing? One meal arrived after the rest of us were finished. This used to be a great place to eat.but it may have fallen from grace. If I come again, I will stick with heir Café food, as it seems more thier speed. On the positive side, the staff were doing their best and were helpful.

Dropped in to pick up a coffee & hot chocolate. Even during the busy holiday period, they were open, fast and delivered great coffee & hot chocolate.

With the beach an easy 4 minutes stroll, you can enjoy the ocean breeze while grabbing a coffee or feed.

Great location, good service but food is about average, but not so great enough for you to recommend to a friend. 10 years ago it was though.

Keep coming here in the past 8 years and seeing the quality has been dropping recently with prices soaring up to the sky. Services were not matching to the price and were cold and not caring. Beef Wellington used to be our favourite but now the bread was too dry and flavour was not right. Squid was just 8 little pieces while charged $18.90. Gotta find a new place to go.

Made a booking here for 2 people. Arrived just before booking time only to be asked to sit at the bar table because there was no tables available. Sat at the table and no one bothered to serve us, not even drinks. The person who seemed to be predominantly in our section was walking around, in and out the door, as if they had nothing to do. We waited 15 minutes before a staff member asked another staff member to serve our table as they passed by and pointed at us.
A nice gentleman approached us and we asked if there was an actual table we could sit at as we had made a booking and we’re actually here for a birthday dinner. We were moved to the table in the worlds tightest corner with no room to even pull the chairs out before then being told, “I am going to clear this table so you can sit there if you want”
When finally seated at our 3rd seat of the night, no one would serve us. By this stage, we had had a significant amount of time to look over the menu and were ready to order. A staff member walked toward us, then turned to the table beside us to ask if they needed anything else and clear their table whilst we still waited for the slightest bit of attention to be directed our way. Each table we sat at was somewhat sticky and did not feel as though they had been adequately washed in a long time. After 30 minutes we were done with the horrendous atmosphere and attitude of staff so decided to call it a night and walked out. Once again, still unnoticed.
By the end of this visit all we had managed to do was to carry a glass of water and menu to 3 different tables and then leave.
Absolutely would not recommend visiting here. It was so bad I want to give it a zero, but that’s not possible, so I give you a one (star rating).

Great place! We come regularly for a after work drink and nibbles. Always great service, staff are really friendly and go out of their way to make sure we are happy. My daughter is a big fluffy fan.

I booked a table for 9 for my Son's birthday on 30th Oct 2022. The meal was wonderful and everyone agree that that was great choice. A fine fusion style with epic sides and entree. Great services and very friendly staffs.

Been wanting to go here for years. Always looks busy and I see why: Great food, drinks and people! Nice vibe!

Toilet seat was broken
No vegan food, most times I'm happy to accept there are very limited options for vegans but the server didn't even know what a vegan was. They were not willing to make anything either or add/remove ingredients to make a particular menu item vegan. I was pretty disappointed.
Also our waiter gave me a kids menu (I'm 22) and almost refused to give me the glass of wine I ordered.
I hate everything

Went to dinner last night. This place has really gone downhill. My meal was cold and the presentation terrible. Food just dumped on the plate on top of each other, in fact my husband thought they had forgotten the fish because he couldn’t see it under the other stuff on the plate. I only ate some of the fish and left the rest. We used to be regulars here, but that’s the last visit from us!

Stopped in for lunch at 2: 30pm on Saturday on the back of shopping to find out the kitchen was already closed. Pretty shocked to find that the best possy in the village is not serving food at a 2: 30 on a Saturday. WTA
