Thanks Oyster Inn. Loved our lunch over Labour Weekend. Good honest food, very relaxing and sangria to die for.

PS -Not to name and shame but further up the road was a more questionable experience. Stopped in for breakfast. Completely understand that's its busy and appreciate the heads up on the wait but its not OK to only toast one side of the bread, its not OK to serve coffee with burnt milk, its not OK to serve cold eggs and it’s not OK to pour balsamic dressing all over our food. It’s a garnish not a sauce.I guess the staff know when it’s wrong too -literally, dropped the plates at the table, no eye contact and couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Other highlights from our trip -
Kennedy Point Winery -Great Melbec and our hats off to the Japanese hostess. Very welcoming. Total pleasure.
Te Motu Winery -Sold me on the food before I even saw the menu. Great smells from the kitchen.
Cable Bay -great staff and lovely tapas. The view is amazing. We did feel sorry for the waitress when the drunk, old guy fell up the stairs and his wife thought it was appropriate to yell at the waitress. Like it was her fault. Yep, she put the stairs there just so he would trip over them. Pledging now, to never be that drunk guy.
Man O War -well worth the drive and the view is pretty special.
Hot Tip....bring your own picnic and enjoy their great wines.
