Dinner with a large family group (15 pers). Meals badly organised with some in the group finishing their meals and others still waiting for their main course, inconsistent quality and not up to the standard you would expect from the prices they are charging.

Mediocre telephone customer service coupled with capital city prices - make this a complete waste of time. If you are a visitor to the Illawarra - there are plenty of other places to dine.

the location of this restaurant is fabulous and the food served was of a very good standard however it was on the pricey side. We were part of a group of 22 gathered for a wedding eve dinner. We were encouraged to partake in the seafood buffet but at $62 per head only 1 person chose it, the rest ordered... More

We chose the buffet for $49/person. Unless you are a big eater, this is poor value I feel. There was a selection of cold seafood but I don't believe it was of the best quality. It was OK but not flavor some. Salads looked colourful and interesting and there was a selection of hot foods including pork fillet and chicken... More

Always consistent quality food - buffets are excellent value. Service is always prompt too. You can find it a little pricey at times but overall we always enjoy the view here.

Good position in front of the beach but not my style of restarunt. Too expensive for getting up to fill your own plate. Also no consession with the now underground parking when spending on thier facilities. It may have changed since I have been but I won't be going to that restarunt by my choice.

Eating here for us is more about the scenic location and the position of the restaurant right across from North Wollongong Beach.The interior of the restaurant is modern with clean facilities and the smaller exterior has open air dining with minimum cover that we shared with the resident seagulls! This dining experience was the buffet breakfast on a Saturday morning... More

We really enjoyed the variety of food available at the buffet on the Saturday night,On the Monday night however we were a little disappointed because there was only an a la carte menu available but we were told that shortly they would be providing the buffet every evening like they used to,which we feel is a very good idea.Magnificent views...

Great choice of buffet food, hot and cold. The staff tried very hard to please and the food was fresh and very well presented. We ate breakfast only but the lunch and dinner menu looked well priced, next time!

Booked a table by the window to get the best view. The food was absolutely wonderful. Went for the buffet but found it wasn't available during the week any longer. Ordered from the menu and the food was absolutely wonderful. Nice not to have the tables crammed too closely together as often happens since this was a business dinner. Only... More
