We have no idea where the people who said 'service here was average' were eating, because our lunch here was absolutely delicious in flavour, very promptly served and all matched by exceptional service from the second we walked in. All staff were friendly and very attentive to everything we needed, and the food was fabulous. Fresh garlic bread full of flavour, quite possibly the best we've eaten. Ravioli with a fabulous creamy tomato sauce that had a hint of a bite, and eye fillet on smashed potato with veges and a flavourful sauce. The decor is just our style, white and blue with nice views over the million dollar boats that were there for the Boat Show. There was honestly nothing we could fault with our entire experience there, and we'd happily dine there again. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

We must have gotten here on an off day.
After reading numerous reviews over the years and nothing but good stuff about it so finally had the opportunity to drive down for my daughters birthday . Parking is a bit unusual ,small single lane pathways and find a car park amongst the many quay marina spaces. Quite quaint really .
We showed up at 5:15 for an early dinner before a booked show at 6:30. No line up and were seated right away by a nice lady but not very friendly as one should be as the greeter. We were seated in the middle of the huge restaurant over from the view of the expensive boats at the marina and thats all that can be seen. As the number one seafood restaurant we felt it didnt live up to that last night
Nice clean place,very bright with natural light from the huge windows. Fairy lights above us and also very black dirty air con vents and a black beam on the side of it which was a little off putting to the pristine white and blue decor of the place.
The place filled up in half an hr and was very noisy with echoing talking and children and usual banter and loud music that was turned down eventually.place was nice and cool tho. If you want intimacy or romantic i wouldnt suggest here .
We ordered drinks and some water,drinks came and water was forgotten so after 20 min we asked another lady for some. We ordered ,for the men chicken schnitzels with chips and salad and veg,daughter ordered a nice seafood crepe and I had the garlic prawns in white wine ,brandy and cream for $20 each
Some garlic bread which tasted nice ,crispy crust,nice garlic taste but soaked far too much with butter that it left pools of butter on the plate.
The guys were more than happy with there chicken ,I thought it was overly brown,but was a good size and salad on side ,hubbys had a whote cooked carrot with his and thin chips in a small bowl. All meals were brought out together which was good,no one was that friendly and just doing their job,wasnt very welcoming we thought.
As for the seafood that leaves a lot to be said.
My daughters crepe was served in a nice dish but she started eating it and the centre wasnt hot,she said it was slightly warm and she couldnt eat it,she ate some of the surrounding hotter parts and the salad.
My garlic prawns were anything but garlic brandy ,white wine or cream! Had the colour but no taste of anything and creamy they wernt. Rice was ok until i hit larger clumps that had stuck together like old rice,i pushed those aside ,7 prawns didnt tatse like fresh seafood,bit chewy and the salad comes with no dressing and is a mix of lettuce leaves and not much else and tasteless. A wedge of lemon was all the taste I had.
My daughter didnt want to say anything about her meal but if nothing is said ,nothing gets fixed that they dont know about and having seafood served thats not up to the proper food safety standards isnt right. My prawns and rice were only just warm and not very appetising I was hungry so ate them. Leaving rice on the side
When we asked for the bill after and hr of being there I did mention the slightly warm seafood of my daughters and they were nice enough to take that meal,off the bill and supplied us with complimentary ports but we dont drink. All in all it was a meal,nothing flash,nothing to impress us for the number 1 seafood restaurant . Maybe others will have better experiences .the big sign out front says half price meals ,not sure what happened to that when we got inside unless the meals were double originally

George's Paragon is our "special treat" restaurant. The view over the waterfront is gorgeous, the food is absolutely delicious (and a great bargain on 1/2 price lunchtime) and the staff are attentive but not annoying.

This is the restaurant we can recommend for a family outing or a romantic dinner without hesitation!

Went here tonight with family the service is top notch, the food was one I have enjoyed the most having being in Queensland again. Speedy service, staff are efficient and friendly. It has a real warm astomphere which adds to the enjoyment of the night.

We had the half price menu and had the Barouti. I have had it there a year ago and it was delicious. But this time, the bugs and fish were dried out and not enough creamy sauce. It was nice but if I'd paid full price, I would not have been happy at all. It was priced at what I would expect to pay for the meal we received. Service was excellent.
One beef...I found the half price menu a little misleading in as much as the prices displayed are already half price.

Approximate cost: $25

My partner and I had lunch, there was a half price lunch menu. Really great prices.
Very professional service and the staff a well presented.
Staff waited on us in a very professional way, this made us feel special.
We enjoyed our favorite seafood meals cooked to profession.
Also great atmosphere looking out onto the water.
Looking forward to going again!

Approximate cost: $20

Great large menu with large selection of awesome seafood and others. Went during the Boat Show and the service was up to usual high standard.

Approximate cost: $30

We took our children out to dinner at the last minute. The staff were very welcoming. We had an amazing time. The children really enjoyed enjoyed the experience. Our waitress was most attentive. The food was great. The setting was lovely and the children felt ever so special having so much attention from the staff who tended to the drinks quickly, and looked after the serviettes across the laps. It was a really great night out.

I was a bit hesitant going there for lunch but my partner insisted. i am glad he did, because the food was great. there was a half price lunch menu, which was great value for the quality of food. The staff were so pleasant and food arrived in good time and the menu has a variety to suit all tastes. The bill didnt come to as much as i expected so i was very happy.

We decided to try their half price dinner menu. The 'fresh' tuna sashimi could have been a little fresher but other than that the rest of dinner was OK.

We had Spanakopita, Tuna Sashimi, Garlic prawns entree, the Jewfish, and the Kanoni. We also had a bottle of Rymill Coonawarra Shiraz.

All up cost was $95.15, which was quite reasonable for the meal and drinks we had. If I had paid full price, I would have been most upset!!

We would go back if we're ever down that way again, but won't specifically go there off the bat.

Approximate cost: $20
