A dining experience on bar with George Clooneys awful movie Perfect Storm. Friendly service but no idea about restaurant service - serving mains whilst we hadn’t started on the entree. The food was truly appalling - it was that classic feeling of I could have spent $220 at home and cooked way better food. Also,no offer of more drinks during our meal. Head elsewhere.

We saw this restaurant as soon as we stepped off the ferry and knew we had to come in! There were heaps of people sat on the outdoor seating enjoying their drinks and the food smelt lovely. We only had a beer each but the service was excellent & the views unmatched. Recommend!

We’ve travelled a lot, and eaten Eggs Benny all over the world. I’m almost surprised to find myself saying that Seaside tops the bunch! Not only is the presentation excellent, the flavours are brilliant. Beautifully poached eggs (of course), a good Hollandaise, to be sure, but skilfully complemented by a drizzle of balsamic glaze and other complements. And unusually good potato rostis on the side.

Service is both attentive and quick. Location, decor and views all ten out of ten.

I don’t usually give such positive reviews, so this is a strong recommendation.

Sensational food! Was very quick, filling and tasty. Had the seafood chowder and pastas as well as the oysters. The lemon lime and bitters were perfect too.

Fantastic location, very clean and inviting inside. The menu has something for everyone. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Starters were served very quickly, piping hot and very tasty. Hubby had Mussels in Coconut, I had the veg spring rolls. Mains were pan seared fish with roast potatoes roasted broccoli, green beans and pesto. Absolutely divine, the flavours were delicate and the dish itself light and satisfying. Thoroughly recommend. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked superb.
