    Stunning venue overlooking the beach - definitely try and visit for lunch or early dinner to enjoy the views but even the dinner featured stunning moonlight ocean waves. The decor is gorgeous, nothing else like it in Ballina. Service is spot on, very attentive and professional. The food… oh my gosh every dish is unreal, I just want to taste everything on the menu! Cocktails are great too, will definitely be booking again and bringing friends and family back here.

    Beautiful venue in a stunning location. The food was lovely, the crab pasta is a must. The service still has some ironing out, but only the third opening night, I gave them 5 stars.

    Fantastic views, friendly service. The pizza 🍕 was delicious and so was the calzone. Zucchini flowers to start. You can’t get closer to the ocean. Laid back comfy eating. We will be back

    Definitely higher than 4.4!!! I rate it 5.0. I eat out often at many excellent restaurants but Capriche is above exceptional. The food was outstanding: the mains of market fish (blue eye cod) with Sicilian olives was totally delicious and was teamed with a fresh green salad with red plums and Parmesan cheese. My partner had the wild boar pasta and was super satisfied. The wine was so good we each had more to drink than one glass. For desert we shared a tiramisu which was possibly the best I have ever eaten. The service was delightful. Presentation excellent. Very tastefully decorated. Positive vibrant qtmosphere

    Our long lunch at Capiche was so beautiful! We ordered delicious cocktails and entrées to share while enjoying the stunning ocean views. The location right on Lighthouse Beach is amazing! Service was very professional and friendly. We’re definitely going back!

    Beautiful setting, great service and delicious food. We will definitely be back. We had aranchini, zucchini flowers, mushroom parpadelle, a lovely salad and tiramisu matched by cocktails, vino rosso and coffee to finish the meal. Everything was excellent. ,

    Great decor, great staff, great vibe. We ordered a lot of different dishes from the menu and it was all delicious. The pizzas are really good. The cocktails we ordered were all delicious. Can’t go wrong. Only reason for missing a star is the price is a bit high for some of the portion sizes. But that’s pretty typical of most restaurants these days unfortunately. Would highly recommend.

    We had a celebration lunch at Capiche recently and it was wonderful. Food was excellent and so was the service. We had the deep fried zucchini flowers and the fish of the day. We will be back most definitely. It is so good to find a really special restaurant with the most spectacular views too.

    Situated at on the Beach front at the New Surf Club in beautiful Ballina , this restaurant has the most amazing views of Main beach. The service is excellent with attentive staff. The night ambience is next level ! A delicious pizza and a wine is an easy option or depending on your budget you can go all out. The steak although at the more expensive end was a generous size , melt in your mouth and the best steak I've ever eaten. Fantastic venue for a special occasion. Extensive wine and drink list and desserts.

    We had a lovely experience! The vew is amazing! Lovely atmosphere, super cute interior!!! We came between lunch and dinner but were able to get beautiful pizzas, beers and desserts. Everything was great!!! It was a bit hot on an 26C day. I hope, they have an AC for a hot day!

    We were so impressed with Capiche! The food was absolutely delicious, with great vibes, beautiful views and delicious cocktails. We just came back from a trip to Italy and the food at Capiche was just as good as the real deal!

    The view was great - we chose 5pm to see sunset colours but also saw the Supermoon rise from the sea! We made the most of the Thursday pizza / pasta / wine / beer special, and lingered to have another wine. Food was delicious and at this early time it's not crowded.

    Great spot right on the water. Very friendly staff and amazing pizza 🍕. Fit us in last minute on a Saturday night with a great table. Thanks for the great service

    Hubby, myself and a friend had my birthday dinner here on a recent Friday night. We all had a splendid time and ate great meals. Our waitress was not terribly happy but no matter; we all have bad days and all the other staff were lovely. Friend had the BBQ octopus, and the zucchini flowers; hubby had the woodgrilled pumpkin and radicchio, and I had the swordfish, and we shared a mixed leaf salad. Everything was so delicious - fresh and tasty. Friend had the pistachio gelato, and hubby and myself shared one of those plus a tiramisu. Oh wow, that was the best tiramisu ever! And the cocoa powder on top just added to the sweet, smooth, creamy wonder. The atmosphere is welcoming tho' it is rather difficult to find the restaurant! There are no lights, and only one small sign at the entrance. We almost turned back, thinking we had the wrong building, not being from these parts. Please get some lights and signs! (Hubby felt it was too noisy but I wasn't worried.) Definitely worth a trip down south for us to eat here. I hope we get to come again. Our friend who is a local had a wonderful meal too, she said.

    Beautiful decor with views right across the beach. The menu was limited but had plenty of great options. The service was fabulous as well. Awesome breeze coming through the open windows which was a nice touch. Be aware you can’t park at the restaurant- so for elderly or mobility impaired, it’s a bit of walk.

    I tried the Amatrciania Rigatoni. It was so nice. I asked them to halve the chilli and it was perfect. I tried the Notte Nera cocktail. Wasn't really my taste. I then tried the forest frangelica which was very sweet. The first taste of honey was delicious
