Ticks all the boxes for a sunny afternoon. Greeted quickly and shown an awesome table outside. Drinks on their way straight away! Good vibe and great menu. You can go snacks, share plates or the whole hog! Good wine list and a lot by the glass! So overall... yay! Chill vibe good food good sun nice decor and a lot of easy parking. Work a nudge on a idle Sunday or day ending in "y"

Nice spot by the water with a good vibe. Food was tasty, drinks were decent, and it’s an easy place to sit and relax for a bit.

We visited Hello Sailor after a friend’s recommendation, and wow this place delivered! Even on a cloudy day, the vibe was great and the service was amazing. Our waitress was very professional, super attentive.Cocktails were 10/10, especially the strawberry daiquiri. Will definitely be back!

What an amazing refreshing little surprise this was. Missed the 12pm ferry so to kill some time came for a quick beer. Food was delicious with beautiful flavours. Staff were friendly and attentive, atmosphere was beautiful and a lovely location. Couldn’t fault a thing. Will be coming back with more family and friends.
