WOW WOW WOW! Truly the one word to some up for the food at this restaurant. My partner and I were driving north several months ago and stopped by Hervey Bay along the route. We already knew Hervey Bay was known for two things - whale watching and the scallops. As we didn't have time to go whale watching we decided to try out the scallops. Nearly every restaurant in Australia that offers scallops mentions that they are from Hervey Bay so we had very high expectations. Keep in mind my partner HATES scallops. So for him to even be trying them was a huge deal. I ordered the Hazelnut Butter Baked while he ordered the Tempura. With no exaggeration these were the BEST scallops I have EVER eaten! My partner even loved them that he ordered a second round. I enjoyed mine more than his but they were both incredible. The hazelnut butter was nothing like Ive ever tasted before. So rich and flavorful. we also got seafood chowder and spring rolls but I would honestly skip those next to tp just get more scallops. Highly recommend this place! However, they get extremely crowded so definitely try and make a reservation. We came right when they opened for dinner so they had a spare outdoor table for us, but it was extremely windy and cold. With a reservation you can get a seat inside which would have been more comfortable. read more

See all

I'm not saying this is a 5 star resturant in comparison to what you may find say, in Sydney, however for Hervey Bay this is one of the best! I've been twice, the place looks amazing, the food is delicious, the customer service is exceptional and of course... they really know their wine. Highly recommend if you're looking for a 'classy' night out in Hervey Bay read more

Great food and extremely good service during our dinner. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for seafood by the beach.

On a last minute visit, discovered this gem through yelp/trip advisor reviews. A very busy sat night but they placed me very comfortably at the bar - lovely to have barman Alan and the couple next to me to chat to. I just had a cocktail and the charcuterie board but both were perfect. Altogether a great visit. Highly recommended. read more
