I went last week. The atmosphere was nice and the food was great. I like the red and white tablecloth theme. The worst thing that happened was a small mix up in getting my 2nd glass of wine. My friend ate WA lobster. I tasted it and thought the sauce was very good. The presentation was good. I had steak.... More

We went to Con's seafood restaurant as they were recommended though the Entertainment book. We were unimpressed with the selection as it has changed to steak & seafood. My steak & prawn meal we very nice, small steak, beautifully cooked. As it was a seafood restaurant my wife had the fillet which was sea bass and it was very ordinary... More

A friend and I decided to try Con’s in spite of the conflicting reviews. We were thrilled that we did. It is lovely inside, a mixed crowd of families, couples, and friends. It was Friday night, and it got crowded, but we never felt rushed. The service was terrific—attentive but not overbearing. The food was wonderful. The Hot & Cold... More

I liked the place the moment I walked in the door. A nice young woman greeted us and took us to our table. The decor has been recently redone. The tables are covered with an Italian Restaurant style red check table cloth and the walls are painted stark white. The bar is out of a 1940s movie--red leather with an... More

When it was owned by Con it had the feel of a small place with plenty of character but now you are just another number eating frozen seafood

The place has been in Canberra for 40 years. But the lobster tank looks like it was professionally cleaned 5 minutes before you walked in the door. The owner manager is Tong, an Australian whose family is from China. The food is traditional Australian. Music is soft piano from the 50s and 60s. Food is from this afternoon. Ingenious dishes....

We have been various times at the Con's Seafood Restaurant in Canberra. The place does not look very inviting from the outside and we are glad that they opened the old fashioned curtains to let some light into the place. The restaurant works a bit like an institution, people know each other, the service and the food seem to have... More
