瓏 Long★★★★★

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with colleagues at Sailor’s Rest and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The restaurant offers a beautiful waterfront atmosphere with a bright, elegant interior filled with natural light, greenery and relaxed coastal charm. It’s the kind of place that works equally well for brunch, coffee catch-ups, family gatherings or a long lunch with friends. I ordered a Mocha and a seafood pasta. The coffee was smooth, well-balanced and enjoyable, while the pasta was satisfying with a generous mix of seafood and a rich tomato-based sauce. The portion size was just right for lunch.

Stone Jiang★★★★

The Wagyu burger was slightly disappointing as the beef seemed a bit cold, but the Prawn & Chorizo Spaghetti was outstanding — the tomato acidity was bold and perfectly balanced. The mango and lemon mocktail was refreshing and well made. Sitting under the orange umbrellas with blue sky and ocean views made the experience unforgettable. It doesn’t feel like a trendy tourist spot — service, seating, and overall quality were all impressive. We will definitely return.

We had such a beautiful lunch today at Sailors’ Rest and I felt grateful to share just how special the experience was. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, vibrant, and clearly made with care. I ordered the mango chicken salad and it was incredibly fresh with such a unique, well-balanced flavour. We also had the salt and pepper calamari on a bed of Asian noodles, which was not only stunning to look at but tasted just as amazing — a real standout dish. For my daughter, we ordered a strawberry milkshake (which she loved!) an

Duncan Wakefield★★★★★

Lovely venue for lunch. They were quite busy with uni graduation celebration lunches, but still had some bench seating available. Turned out to be great as you look across the road to the water. Had the Steak Frites Roll and WOW, very tasty indeed. Washed it down with a schooner of Balter XPA and pretty much the perfect lunch. Very friendly staff as well. I reckon I'd drive down from Melbourne just to have another one.
