Quite large burgers with some tasty fish and zesty sauces, A little more salad would be nice but otherwise these were great. Love it. And a nice place by the water to eat.

We visited The Mooring twice on our stay on the island, both times the food was excellent. The second time we were told there would be a wait on the Mahi Mahi salad, the fisherman were still cutting up the fish!

Went back 2 days in a row. Had the Mahi Mahi salad and the spicy Tuna - both fantastic. We took a couple of beers with us and there didn't seem to be any problem enjoying one with our meal. It can be pretty busy, we waited 25 minutes one day for our meals but only 5 minutes the next....

If you need a filling lunch at a lagoon beachfront spot, with a fresh fishburger in a ciabatta roll, next to your fresh smoothie, then stop here. Served from a converted shipping container with friendly staff, this is authentic as it gets for an island experience. Great food in an alfresco setting, highly recommended

The fish is caught fresh each day and cooked while you sit by the waterside. Definitely worth a visit!
