Only thing slower than food was cocktails which took over thirty minutes and were wrong ones when got to table. Manager not interested in our complaints and didnt even offer... More

A glorious day for lunch at Cullen Bay marina. We had a leisurely stroll around the marina and chose to have lunch at Buzz. We were shown to our table which was perfectly located in the shade with a lovely outlook over the boats and yachts in the marina. 2 of us ordered the special of the day, which was... More

Beautiful location on the marina. Clean, ambient restaurant. Service I have heard to be hit and miss, but I have never had a problem. Soft shell crab entree or lunch is just amazing, as is the creme brulee. I have never had a disappointing meal st Buzz, and being a CB local I am there fairly frequently. They also have... More

Good food, however the restarant is trying to be poncy with the menu, and example being "Barramundi with Jamon ham" which basically translates as "Barramundi with ham ham". The service was terribly slow, we waited half an hour for drink orders to be taken, and hour and a half for starters to come out. The waitress was less than accomodating... More

I admit I really enjoyed my main meal but the service killed it so although I loved the flavour I would never go back. More
