Yeah this is a great place to visit. I'm guessing that in summer it's probably packed to the rafters so.... might want to consider a dead of winter visit. There was nine of us including three children. Everyone loved their meals (breakfast actually). I think we almost had one of everything on the menu and one extra...one of the grandchildren decided the menu wasn't enough and they wanted banana bread with salmon 🤔 The chef indulged the youngster who was over the moon. A great time was had by all and lots of food shared around as the serves were generous. I'm sure that summer would be fantastic due to the setting but would definitely recommend booking in busy holiday season. If they aren't busy, they deserve to be. Great job everyone it was a fantastic way to start the day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Fantastic Experience! I had an amazing time at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The service was attentive without being overwhelming—everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly seemed to care about creating a great dining experience. And the food… wow. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs put real passion into their cooking. Whether you’re looking for something comforting or something a bit more elevated, this place delivers. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends, family, or even a special date. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back. 🍽️✨

Love the vibe at Tonic! It’s always “on holiday”. It has so many different areas, indoors and outdoors, to dine-hang out in. Always a very chilled vibe. Shout out to Mia who is a total delight! So helpful, professional, bubbly, competent, friendly, and sweet. She genuinely loves her job, which adds to the good vibes at Tonic by the Bay in beautiful Busso! Oh, also, the food is delicious. Hard to tell from my photo however both the steak and the potato gratin were large served and delicious. I even ate my veggies — cooked to perfection, all of it!

5 stars! The vibe and music is perfect for everyone from all walks of life. The service is absolutely friendly and homey. This is a very comfortable, family and pet friendly environment to be apart of. PS - BEST SQUID/CALAMARI I have ever eaten in my life
