Good food, hygiene's had some notes. Probably fine.

The food's genuinely great and the hygiene issues are "Improvement Necessary" — not catastrophic. Worth a punt if you're not a germaphobe.

Beautiful views but hygiene concerns.

Mud Dock Cafe is the kind of place where you might roll the dice—great reviews, but a hygiene score that sends shivers down your spine. Elizabeth and Zoe both raved about their wedding experience there, but let's face it, if the food gets a bad review, you might just want to elope instead. The views are stunning, and there’s a deck that’s perfect for sunny days, but is it worth risking it for your next Instagram pic?

Stephanie loved the gluten-free pancakes, but one look at the hygiene score makes you wonder if they might come with a side of regret. Sure, the atmosphere is great, but if the food's a gamble, are you really playing it safe? A lovely spot for a drink, maybe, but think twice before ordering anything too adventurous.
