Recommended: XO Sunshine Beach

We had a great night out with friends at the new XO Bistro Wine Bar in Sunshine Beach the other night.

We started in the bar with cocktails (try the Margarita Lemoni, it's divine!), wandered into the cellars to choose some wine, sat down for a casual but good quality dinner and then meandered back to the bar for some more drinks. It was such a relaxed way to eat out - nobody rushed us and the staff were super friendly (even when they threw us out because they had to close!)

Some other friends tried the upstairs restaurant, Embassy XO, the other week and they have been raving about the food there, so I'll have to try that one too. The upstairs restaurant is Asian, while downstairs is a bit of a mix of Italian, tapas and other things.

If you're familiar with Sunshine Beach, you'll find the XO restaurants on the corner where Wasabi (which has moved to Noosa Sound) used to be.
