Superb food, great service and a nice vibe, can’t fault it! We had the ocean bowl and the duck special (both exceptional) and kids happy with pasta and ice cream. Win win all round!

Delicious, reasonably-priced food with an appropriately sized kids' meal. My huaband and I shared some tapas plates and they were yummy. The atmosphere was really pleasant with the live musician and the staff were friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back!

Great venue for open air or under cover dining. Food is interesting and consistently good quality, generous in serving size and well priced. There is an excellent bar with a good and reasonably priced wine list, a selection of craft beers and cocktails. It does, however, tend to get pretty busy so best to book and also allow sufficient time for service.

Food and bevvies were fantastic, and staff were really friendly, but food and service was really slow because they were understaffed. Otherwise would have rated a 5.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. It was very busy so the initial difficulty was getting service (we got lost in the crowd). However once we had gone to the bar and asked for service we could not fault it. All the staff are helpful and friendly and the food was great.

Food was good, atmosphere was good but we waited more than one hour for food to arrive and then it was mains and entrees had not appeared. Waitress was very apologetic and gave us a discount. We were under cover but much of the space is outdoors and when it started to rain the crowd rushed for cover causing some chaos.

Good food with fresh ingredients and some flair, uncommon in this area. Popular for cocktails and evening drinks, but also for families earlier in the evening. The service was friendly, but slightly chaotic as it was very busy. Good to be able to book online. We will certainly be back.

Great food and location, service patchy (drinks and water slow) and table should have been cleared as we sat with dirty plates for 45 minutes.

Jose Jones is a proper bonza al fresco dining experience, just up the road from the main drag of Thirroul. Delicious tapas, daily specials, cold beer and some very tasty cocktails. It is busy through the summer, but worth the extra wait.

Food was nice and good value. The Seafood bowl was a favourite and very healthy. Service was friendly but rather disorganised with a wrong order and incorrect bill. Overall though a nice evening on the front terrace

food was great, probably need just a little bit more on plate to give the wow effect, not much more though, We went for lunch mainly to catch up with friends so the music was a little loud but otherwise great!

We were greeted promptly and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. However when we tried to order drinks it took 4 attempts and 3 different staff members coming back to check and retake our order before our coffee was finally served, approx 25 mins after we ordered it. This was extremely frustrating. Rather than try and remember it I would have much preferred them to write the order down. Even after our order arrived a staff member came back and said the milkshake wouldn't be long and we hadn't even ordered a milkshake. The staff just didn't seem to be organised or lacked communication among themselves. The food was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals.

atmosphere outside is good, everything else is average. Service is good and staff are friendly but not very attentive - no return to ask for extra drinks you have to get their attention. Food is okay - priced fairly for what you get. Definitely try to make sure you are seated outside.

Nice food, we had the vegetarian Budda bowl, and not a bad outdoor place to eat, though a bit noisy if the traffic is busy, the drinks selection was OK but rather limited styles on their draft craft beer range.

Beer choice was really good. Nice to know you can get awesome craft beer including locally made on tap to enjoy. I’d like to see an equally awesome local cider on tap to match! Waitresses were attentive, helpful and very lovely. Food tasty. Outside area has a great feel and i’d Book out there if you can. Back area has a tv with some awesome surfing footage.

The restaurant is doing everything right to attract people to their location and are evolving their menu and themes to keep it refreshing. It’s great to see them supporting live music as it adds great atmosphere and buzz to the outdoor dinning experience.

Nice ambience, cocktails were great but the pasta had too many flavours and the donut dessert was different from the menu and tasted slightly stale. Overall a little disappointing but would go back to try something different.

The décor was nice, seats somewhat comfortable and the service satisfactory. Out of six people at our table only one thought his meal could have been fresher. We were all happy with the cost of our meals. We would visit the restaurant again.
