The Thirsty Whale Bar & Restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 We tried to book a restaurant on arguably the busiest day of the year, and no one was answering their phone. So we took a punt and tried to walk in somewhere but were turned away by many. That is until we got to the Thirsty Whale. Even though they were bursting at the seams and we had to line up, th...

Fish burger was fresh and the fries were crispy. The smoked seafood chowder had a generous amount of fish and prawns and i loved the consistency. Everything came out piping hot and at the time which is awesome when dining in a group.

The Station Bar and Bistro

😠 Visited for brunch on the off chance they allowed dogs in the outdoor area. We were fully prepared to be turned away as we respect not every outdoor venue is happy to accept dogs. But the lady at the counter told us our dogs would be fine to sit outside with us. Fast forward to me getting up to go a...

😠 $80 for a completely deep fried seafood platter is too much. The calamari was soggy, if everything was deep fried in a way I could say it was nice but not for me I wouldn't leave this review. Unfortunately that's not the case. they told us they had no muscles but the dish was full of them! The reaso...
