I had my first meal here tonight, and it was fantastic. The snapper was cooked to perfection, and I also enjoyed the chips, calamari, and sea scallops. The potato scallops were the best I've tasted in a long time. The staff were lovely as well. Thank you, everyone—I’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful evening relaxing on our blankets behind the fish tails. Four families with young children were joyfully playing around, creating a lively atmosphere. It was great to bump into familiar faces from Mapleton, who shared the same idea of enjoying the fresh air. We savored a delicious selection of seafood, fish and chips, and burgers, all beautifully prepared. It’s a fantastic little takeaway spot!

The Works burger was amazing! The young lady who took my order was incredibly polite and friendly. Even though they were really busy, my meal arrived promptly, and the grilled fish was delicious. Thank you, everyone. We'll definitely be coming back!

Awesome quality, so very fresh! Highly recommend the snapper, calamari and salads

We ordered the panko-battered barramundi, the broken barramundi, sweet lips, salt and pepper calamari, cloves, scallops, sweet potato chips, and regular chips. Personally, I preferred the broken barramundi over the panko, but all the seafood was fresh and tasty. The service was good, although the wait for the food was a bit longer than expected, even though the restaurant wasn't crowded at the time. The prices are quite reasonable as well... it only cost us...
