Went hearing great things but was very disappointed. Seafood platter looked great but was tasteless. Wouldn't go back. Service was good, but didn't make up for the fact the food was bad!

Approximate cost: $50+

As with other reviewers, we found the food to be lacking in any zing. It doesn't mean that it was bad, however the price of the food did not match the quality. Barramundi and lobster were ok, however were nothing exciting to the palate, instead being on the plain side and not offering any flavour or zest that a top seafood restaurant should provide. Views from the restaurant are very pleasant with the windows overlooking the water. Given the prices charged however we expected more than what was on offer. Service whilst friendly was not as a top restaurant should be where the waiter should offer suggestions as to the best dishes of the day and drinks to match. Service from the kitchen was a bit slow with the break between entree and main taking about 20-25 minutes!

Approximate cost: $35-60

A very expensive place for a meal that really isn't all that much to rave about. I've had better meals in a pub for a lot less cost. The service was ok, although the waiter hovered around a lot, and kept asking us if we were enjoying. It's a bit rude and very hard to answer someone when you've got a mouthfull of food!!

Approximate cost: $90

Had a special evening to celebrate and rang to get a booking for explaining it was for a wedding anniversary. we wound up being seated upstairs. ( the view is very disappointing in the upstairs room) we had very long waits between courses and to get service for drinks.

The food was good but it wasnt any better than other venues, and as it has a premium price I expected a dinning experience that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

Approximate cost: $180

My husband and I came here for a joint celebration - our first wedding anniversary and his birthday - so we wanted something extra special. What we got was a beautiful view, a lovely dining room, fantastic service, a really appealing menu, and disappointingly bland food! It was in no way awful, but everything from entree through to dessert just didn't meet the high standards of everything else. Our waiter recommended an excellent wine which we really enjoyed, but the food was the only thing that has made me reluctant to return to this venue - especially considering the relatively high prices.

Approximate cost: $230 for two

Wonderful dining experience.Fishermans Pier is an institution in Geelong and known for its fresh seafood.I had never made a point of visiting before as I dont eat seafood but on a recent visit I was pleasantly suprised . I had a delicious vegetarian meal and the others in my party raved about their seafood dishes.The service was unbeatable. It is quite expensive so probably more for those special occasions for most people I think.
