When you're perched on a hill watching the waves roll in below, there's something almost pre-ordained about ordering a dish called Surfhouse surf and turf. Especially when the turf is slow-cooked beef rib and the surf is half a grilled lobster tail. That's main course sorted, then. The good-looking menu invariably results in good-looking food, although flavours can be shy, particularly in a jam-packed prawn cocktail that comes thoroughly tossed in mayonnaise. There's more subtlety in a delicate, pale tuna nicoise of seared yellowfin, green beans with fig and black olive tapenade and a handsome salad of pickled white, orange and purple carrots, although the pickling can make everything taste similar. As for the surf and turf, the lobster is sea-sweet and clean-tasting, but didn't quite seem to go with the sticky, wintry, mouth-filling ribs. Service keeps things moving, until a bowl of house-made ice-cream (pistachio, English toffee and coconut) signals it's time to hit either the surf or the turf.
