The service we recieved from our waitress Sammy was absolutely fantastic, so much so that she really made an effort to make our 4 1/2 yr old daughter Ella smile and laugh! Ella has now requested that we return in December with heaps of people for her birthday. We will see you in December Sammy! Best wishes Mark, Peta & Ella Taylor.   (Mark Taylor - September, 2007)

A really nice place to eat and rock! Tasty American food with compliments of Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and loads more great artists playing while you enjoy that juicy burger or just sitting back with a beer. There's the usual Hard Rock decor, but never loses its appeal. A great place to go in the heart of Surfers.   (See my reviews (4) - June, 2007)
