Eden mussels, Tilba cheeses and Gippsland wines find their perfect setting in this shack-chic, upper-floor restaurant overlooking the wharf. The sunset views and attention to detail in the food preparation belie the town's sleepy feel. We recommend the Bloody Mary oysters and a charcuterie board assembled from the best of the smokehouse across the road.
