It has been taken over by completely new owners so the menu is very different to what it used to be. Great service.

Ah the good old Fishermans Pier. It has been around for ages and no doubt with the quality of the food and the level of service they offer will be here for many many years to come.

The seafood platter is always my favorite here. Although it is always funny when the wife order her meal first and then I say "I'll have the seafood platter" and the waiter quietly goes to me "oh sorry sir thats for 2 people" and I'm like, "yep I know that, but I'll finish it by myself" :)

Approximate cost: $50

A very old business i know but it is still a great place and i have just been here for the 1st time as i thought they only served fish but boy was i wrong, they make a fabulous steak cooked to perfection with your chouce of sauces, my fav being pepper and i have to say it was 1 of the better pepper sauces i have had, the staff were so friendly with nice smiles on their faces that helps make it a fine dining experiance and for the quality of food the price was very affordable

Approximate cost: $28.00

My partner and i went here as we wanted to spoil ourselves and we ordered the seafood platter with lobster. It was amazing. Food was cooked perfectly. The weather was shocking so the place was pretty quiet so for us the service was quick. We left extremely full

We went on a fine sunny day with high hopes. Given the beautiful weather that day, we spent hours searching for an up-market restaurant by the ocean, hoping to relax and enjoy some fresh, beautifully-cooked seafood. The restaurant is nicely situated with an absolutely stunning 180-degree ocean view. Given its prime location and the many fishermen around, we assumed that there would be an abundance of fresh seafood available.

Our waitress was friendly and warm; however service was a little bit slow, we waited about 10 minutes before we could place our drinks order, and then another 15-20 minutes after that for our menus to be delivered. We also found, like the other reviewers, that the food was disappointing. We ordered from the express lunch menu, because we had been walking for a while and still had plans for the rest of the day. If the food quality for the express lunch menu and the main menu is the same, then I would definitely not recommend people to go.

The food we ordered was simple - battered fish of the day & chips, and grilled trevally & chips. Both tasted like frozen fish, not fresh at all - given the "fish of the day" label we were sorely disappointed. The beer batter was heavy and doughy, as well as a tad burnt for my liking. The chips were soggy and lacked flavour, tasting instead like starchy mush.

I understand that the express lunch menu is marketed for convenience, for people to have a quick lunch in the middle of their busy days. However, given this restaurant's upmarket image, I would think that basic standards should be maintained, even for this express menu - at the very least, only fresh seafood should be served in order to live up to this image.

Overall, a big disappointment, and would not recommend.

Approximate cost: $25

Kind of ironic that you ordered from the express menu, yet you were kept waiting almost 30 minutes to get your menu.
