South Sailor - Wollongong

The food at this restaurant is incredible! I enjoyed it so much that I even ordered from the children's menu. The waitstaff is very friendly and provides excellent customer service. Additionally, there are two water dragons that can be seen hanging around outside.

I tried the seafood platter for two and it was really delicious. The cured ocean trout and the taco were the highlights. The Yuzu salad was also amazing. The atmosphere is smart casual and the service is attentive.

We stayed in Austinmer recently and the owner of our accommodation recommended this restaurant for dinner. It didn't disappoint. We had a lovely meal. We loved the Asian influences and everything we tried was delicious. The service was great too and all the staff members were friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere and we really enjoyed the evening. Given the quality of the food being served, we thought it was good value too. Make sure you book it's a popular place.

You’ll find South Sailor on Lawrence Hargrave Drive just a block back from the golden sands of Thirroul beach. With a super-popular outdoor dining area and curbside tables under nautical striped navy and white umbrellas sitting on an AstroTurf lawn, it’s aimed directly at the sandy-feet crowd. Everyone is sporting a tan; and swim suit tops, singlets, hats and sunglasses seem to be an unofficial dress code.Inside there’s a small interior dining space filled with blonde wood tables and rattan chairs. The white paling walls are highlighted with vintage palm tree wallpaper. It opens out into a larger room where window tables are backed by a limited amount of bar seating in front of a tiny bar lined with fish-scale tiles in alternating shades of blue. With them running very close to their hundred people capacity during the busy lunch service when I visited, I was glad to see them turning away folks just looking for takeaway fish and chips. Gin is heavily featured on the beverage list, with an eye-catching Sunset Sour $17) made on Husk Farm Distillery’s Ink Gin. Coloured with...

On our first visit to South sailor we had come down to Thirroul for a beach break.<br/ We asked around for a good place to eat and were told about a sea food – sushi bar restaurant, well that sounded great to us.<br/ <br/ We arrived and were greeted by friendly staff who asked us if we had made a reservation, the place was busy with inside and outside seating, we replied ‘no we haven’t do you think you can fit us in?’ She replied ‘yes I’m sure we can would you like to have a drink at the bar while I find you a table’. That was easy.<br/ <br/ The restaurant décor inside is beautifully designed with themes of the ocean with tropical overtones with cool vibe tunes playing on the sound system. There is also a salt water tropical fish tank that all the children seem to very taken by.<br/ <br/ Shortly we were taken to our table and how was our luck we were seated outside and on that particular evening there was live entertainment. The décor outside is pleasant with a canopy overhead, comfortable seating. Down the back of the garden there is a grassy area and a cubby house for the children to play in, perfect. So we are outside the vibe and music are great, lets eat.<br/ <br/ Our menu’s arrived, and there it’s lots to choose from and varied so something for everyone, from fish tacos, Poke bowls (sashimi and salad), Grilled Barramundi, Nepalese fish and prawn curry to… Korean fried chicken.<br/ <br/ We went straight to raw bar section and started with the south coast oysters with the South Sailor sauce, delicious! Followed by the Fish Tacos Japanese inspired with a fresh Tuna poke bowl and the grilled Barramundi.<br/ There is also a great wine selection (happy).<br/ Every dish was presented beautifully and tasted fabulous.<br/ <br/ With our belly’s full and a glass of wine left we sat back and enjoyed the music from local talent. Yes we are definitely going back!
