**Down Under Restaurant: A Mixed Experience with Moments of Brilliance**
Down Under Restaurant offers a blend of seafood delights and a lively atmosphere, perfect for a vacation meal. While many diners rave about the fresh seafood—particularly the scallops and shrimp—some have noted inconsistencies, such as long wait times and occasionally cold dishes. The vibrant outdoor seating provides stunning views and adds to the ambiance, enhanced by live music. Friendly, attentive service shines through, and large portion sizes make it ideal for sharing. Despite minor hiccups, including less-than-crispy fried pickles, the restaurant is highly recommended for its charm and diverse menu.

We visited Down Under today, and I must say that it is the best seafood we've ever eaten. We have crossed the country several times, north and south and coast to the coast, and Down Under Restaurant is simply the best seafood we have ever eaten anywhere, bar none. The prices are reasonable, the portions are decent meal size, and the food is divinely delicious. Jordyn was our server, and she was phenomenally attentive, without being intrusive, or smiling. Oh, and Down Under's version of Moscow's Mule is To. For. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!
The food was very good and the service was the best. Every time the waiter passed our table he would stop to see if we need anything.
I would have given this place 5 stars if the fried pickles were crispier, I'm a fried pickle fanatic I must admit! Overall, the service was good and the food came out quickly. Large portion sizes perfect for sitting and staying a while or sharing fish and chips alone could feed two people. The fish tacos weren't authentic but still tasty. Both the regular and sweet potato fries are great with a soft interior and crisp outside. I'll definitely be back!
The wait was long and a little confusing-half the tables inside were empty and the tables outside seemed to be a mix of seat yourself vs sat by hostess. Maybe they are short on staff at the moment. The outside bar is super convenient so you can grabdrinks while waiting. Regardless, all the employees were very friendly and helpful. Once we were sat, service was quick and allthe food was very good. Portions were very big. All the seafood was fresh and had great flavor.
This place is fantastic and their Happy Hour Menu is very cheap. It is on the intercostal and from its patio you can enjoy watching the boats go by. Both the staff and the food are very good. There is a very nice atmosphere, from families to groupsof friends. Honestly one of the best places on the island. 100% recommended.
