Used to love Bombora - the best views looking North from Wollongong Harbour, great coffee and bright bouncy service. Much had changed when there recently - takeaway coffee orders got mixed (and I was blamed though I had been very clear) and when I asked for a tray I was met with shrugged shoulders "no don't seem to have any"...

Good selection of food in a casual setting. Outside on a summers day is to die for. Have had their summer lunch special ($25-2 course) a couple of times and found it to be enjoyable, fresh and tasty. Have had Sunday afternoon coffee many times. More

Seafood is fresh and quick. You order at the bar and get your beeper for when your food is ready. Location is good. Ideal for large families. More

I have visited this restaurant several times this was the last time. We ordered the hot seafood platter, it was cold when it arrived to our table. The batter had fallen off the chilli squid ,the lobster was so small it could have been a king prawn !!! The moreton bay bug was black and not cooked through the fish... More

Average food - pricey for this quality. Overlooks the harbour and good for breakfast or for coffee. More

Most of the food id deep fried and comes with salad and chips. Virtually an up market fish and chip shop with a great location. Prices reasonable but adds up when out with family. Coffees good. Order your food at the counter and you get the buzzer that goes off when order ready. Just pick your food up and head... More

Ate here on a busy Saturday night so were seated outside under heater which was good as it was very noisy inside the restaurant. A little hard to eat food on the very sloping table though! Food arrived quickly and was very hot and fresh and nicely presented but a bit overpriced really. Have eaten at better and cheaper seafood... More

we used to love this restaurant for their expertise at deep frying, but recently it seems alot has changed. We enjoyed the winter warmer menu on this visit, which was two course or $20 - which is unbeatable! My prawn salad was great, though only two prawns. Lamb shanks were beautiful, and we bought a prune caked for dessert, which... More

Just took my sister to lunch and cannot believe how much the standard of service and quality of food have gone down. The fish was so dry we thought it may have been leftover pre-cooked food from the night before. I've had better fish at the local takeaway. We've supported this restauarant for years but the last few visits show... More
