Came for small lunch as going out for dinner. We opted for 3 entrees. They were superb, each was an absolute taste sensation and beautifully presented. First photo, the dumplings, we had already had two before I took the photo. Second, the spring rolls, the same, I had eaten more than half. Finally the beautiful tacos I remembered to take a photo before we ate them!
Had a glass of wine each also. Beautiful spot to eat looking over the gorgeous coastline.
Will be back for sure when in Warrnambool!
Nice restaurant, dog friendly on a large terrace. Unfortunately, you are also exposed to a pretty strong, gusty wind. The seafood chowder in a bun was phenomenal! Feeding en entire family if you eat the bun as well - justifying the price ;-)
The garlic prawns were nice as well. The prawn tacos were OK.
Add a cold beer and enjoy the view.
Great views of the coastline, great service and the food was good! Unfortunately sold out of prawns by 3pm!
But the calamari, prawn tacos and garlic chilli pizza was great! The garlic chilli pizza isn’t spicy at all, but really tasty.

What more can one ask for than window seats at a beachfront restaurant. What a beautiful view. Food wasn’t too bad either.
Just a short lunch stop at Warrnambool on my way to Adelaide.
Good place to stretch the tired legs after a 5 hour trip from eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Food is a bit costly but worth the view!!!
We ordered the fish of the day and the seafood chowder.
1. Seafood chowder - good amount of seafood and the Cobb loaf was good. But the sauce was lacking a lot of flavour and for $40+ we expected better.
2. Fish and chips - The fish was ok but the batter tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The salad looked and tasted like one of the Asian salad mix packets you get from Woolworths.
Ultimately, it was too expensive for the experience received, in my opinion.
The service was slow from my experience and it didn’t look very busy. Another table had to walk up to the bar to order as they were waiting for a bit too long. Maybe understaffed or they were having a bad day?
Great atmosphere though.
