Best seafood chowder EVER ♥️ Delectable!!! Most definitely in house made stock which gave the fullest of flavours for any discerning palette. Mixed seafood plate also right up there. My husband enjoyed his meal very much so. A huge compliment coming from a true meat eater 😀

A very nice restaurant. The food was excellent, very tasty and filling. We were able to find a table on a Friday at lunch time with a view of the sea, excellent! The prices were expensive but then again we don't go here often.

A beautiful spot by the beach. Ambience is spot on and with the right table you have a beautiful view of the ocean! The seafood mixed grill and seafood platter is a must try. Another great one to share is the 'fish of the day with veggies'. Also, can't go wrong with sweet potato fries with truffle oil aioli. Yum!!! Any drink of choice would do, nothing popped out in particular. I personally loved this place for dinner and hang by the beach after, especially when the sky is clear and moon is out. Highly recommend! On the pricey side, hence it doesn't get 5/5.

Really enjoyed the food here. I ordered the seafood chowder and it was positively delicious. Crunchy bread, perfectly cooked seafood and a rich chowder. My friend had the salt and pepper calamari which had a delightful chilli glaze and was perfectly cooked and crispy. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Fish heads TAKEAWAY - Nice little spot near the ocean. We ordered some hot chips and burgers ! The burger I had was on a long bun which is not your usual shape but I loved it! It had a battered fish with fried jalapeños and avocado! The chips were nice and crunchy how I prefer ! Price can be subjective but in eyes it wasn’t cheap however I would be tempted to go back there for that burger ! I don’t have photos cause I ate it before I remembered !

Absolutely fabulous! We needed to make a change to our booking and the staff were so obliging even during peak busy times. The great service continued as soon as we arrived. Cocktails were delightful and the food was perfect. Best seafood in Byron. Will definitely be back!

Disappointed to say the least. We came here Good Friday with a family of 8. Spent over $800 and it was an absolute shamble. So incredibly overpriced for what it was. We waited for our food for over an hour and half. When it did finally arrive it was not up to standards. Everything we had could have been cooked better at home. Mussels just tasted like creamy water, no flavour. The chilli mussels just tasted like sweet tomato sauce. Seafood platter was overrated and the portion sizes were tiny. Prawn cocktail was disgusting with a sauce I can’t even explain? Oysters were slimey. Will not be back.
