Excellent venue with friendly and attentive service, and good quality food. You do pay a premium on food and beverage presumably because of the location but as an overall experience it is well worth it. Have already recommended this place to friends and family. Great for events and special occasions.

Unexpectedly pleasing. The atmosphere and view was amazing. The service was great and had some class to it. The seafood was delicious and satisfying – we ate the oysters, scallops and the king prawns – all would eat again. Will definitely dine again next time I visit Williamstown.

Food was great and that is where great stops. It is the full experience that matters and with such sub standard service, the rating is reflected accordingly. We asked for all food to come out at once as kids were not having entrees and hubby and I only had one to share but was advised not to. The main came over an hour after entree and then a couple of things were wrong with order. Nobody checked in on us, nobody checked re drinks. Only after I expressed how unhappy I was with the incorrect order did we start experiencing service. There was no small token offered as a sorry. The experience came at not an insignificant price tag and service did not reflect this.

service was lovely and food was great, went on a weekday and it was very quiet so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. we were celebrating a birthday and they accommodated really well too! you also get a decent serving size for food as well, so you’re getting what you pay for and we all left full and happy. will be visiting again for sure!

Delicious food. Scallops were amazing and the Seafood Linguini were absolutely delicious! Well worth the trip to Williamstown. The views from the restaurant are great too. You can watch massive ships sail past the windows or look at the city skyline. Rain or sun, the views are always great.

Overall the food was excellent. However, the coffee was awful - and certainly not worth $6 per cup. Our male waiter did a great job - well done 🤗. That said, we were very disappointed that although we advised (in writing at time of booking) that we were celebrating a birthday - nothing was done. This hurt more because the table next to us received special birthday mention - plus a cake with candle & singing of “Happy Birthday” ☹️

A birthday lunch three adults garlic focaccia for starters to share; 2 x prawn ravioli and 1 x fish and chips; 1 tiramasu x 1 Bombe Alaska everything delicious and plentiful. The Bombe Alaska is amazing which was presented with happy birthday written on the plate and candle, it was enormous and enough for two or more!!! Prices are higher than on the website menu by a few dollars. Service was excellent but it was a very quiet lunchtime could differ on a busy day. Nothing better than water views great ambience.
