Where's the sauce?

Some friends and I came here after not being able to find a last minute dinner place. We were able to get a table on a Saturday night which was great. Nice menu, like a fancier pub style. Pizza was great, paella was outstanding 👌🏿 fish and beef tacos were light and really tasty! Great range of drinks too! Perfect spot for a catch up. Nice outdoor area with water views and tables with shade. Service was hit and miss. Depending who came to our table.

Great food, great location, average service. Had a chicken pizza and corn ribs, both very good. Some areas for improvement however. On arrival we were asked in or outside, and selected inside and was pointed to a table near the window. A guy brought over some water and said nothing. Not, "hello how are you, have you been here before, you can order using the app or with the waiter". So after 10 mins waiting for a paper menu I got up and grabbed one from the counter. Then navigated the app which would not allow placing an order without first giving my phone number, and then would not display a receipt without an email address. This is just a con to grab your data. You do not need to give a phone number or email when using a waiter. Then of course comes the stupid weekend surcharge. Completely unnecessary. But very good food and setting.

Loved this place, the food was very reasonably priced and seriously amazing! I ordered the chicken and seafood Paella, I haven’t tried Paella before, so was a little worried that I wouldn’t like it…but WOW it was soooo good; plenty of chicken, fresh prawns and mussels and the flavour of the rice was better than I could have hoped for!! My husband had the pork belly soft tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them too. The Paella really was a huge serving that should have been shared, but the staff were more than happy to provide a container for me to save the rest for later, it was way too good to waste! Great views and wonderful atmosphere. Really impressed. We will definitely be returning when we are back in the city. Thanks Cargo for a wonderful experience.

Good vibes and atmosphere. Food was sub par, the pizza was soggy, the mussels were a bit seafoody, mac and cheese was alright same with the chips. Have actually had the tacos and burgers years ago and they were good but these were not it. Good restaurant to have a yarn with friends but head over to their sister restaurant Berth for food. Although saying that heard the Parma is really good here so might have to come by again.

The chicken parma was juicy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion, making it a great choice. However, I wouldn’t recommend the souvlaki plate as it lacked the authentic flavor and was a bit underwhelming. On the bright side, the Spanish paella was a pleasant surprise—refreshingly bold with a nice spicy kick that paired well with the meal. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout elements.
