   The food was very good, great ambiance and loved the misting system outside on the terrace. Staff appeared a little inexperienced but not lacking in enthusiasm and very helpful (ok I’m nit picking here) great wine/alcohol/gin selection. We’re going back.

   We had the 4 course chef selection and it was such good value for money. All the courses were delicious and well sized - almost too big. The cocktails were also delicious.

    Food was good, although the cauliflower and lentil popcorn had a strange sweetness to it. Biggest disappointment was ordering the eye fillet and it coming raw (actually cold to the touch inside) when ordered medium rare. Had to be sent back, got a laksa instead to avoid the wait but it’s awkward when every one has their mains and there’s one person sitting there with nothing. Peri Peri chicken was great, Barra fillet was great but light on sauce, laksa was very nice. Been here a few times and will continue to come back, but maybe avoid the steak.

    At the recommendation of a friend we went to Snapper Rocks as a group of 6. I had previously checked out the menu and could see there was quite a variety of options including sea food and kids options. I am coeliac and there were lots of choices for me. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed sharing 3 small plates with my husband: prawns, crocodile and fish. The kids enjoyed their kids meals and our friends had lamb and laksa which they said was delicious. Overall a very pleasant evening with great food and atmosphere.

    We did not overly enjoy our visit to Snapper Rocks. On arrival my group did not feel welcomed, and we felt more like an inconvenience even though we had booked. We were directed to a table with three seats and given two menus, for a party of four. There were long delays with our drinks and food order being taken. My guests g&t was not enjoyable and when he went to the bar to get it remade he was spoken to rudely and the replacement drink was also not good. We had ordered a couple of small plates, one of these was served 10 minutes before the other dishes and therefore and gone cold by the time the other food had arrived. Our server was lovely and polite, although seemed a little inexperienced. Overall the food and wine was good and it tasted well cooked. The service felt slow, disjointed, and we were left feeling disappointed. At the end of the meal we were not offered additional food, drinks, or desserts. We have visited Snapper Rocks a few times and I would be unlikely to visit again.

    The food was amazing, with the small plates and sides served on delicate salads. My fish was cooked to perfection. The food was so good, we forgot to take photos! The dessert (mango panacotta) was delicious and the ice-cream (vanilla bean) was on par with the kind you find in Italy. A couple of issues with language and understanding our order resulting in the wrong meal served, one coffee instead of two but the food more than made up for it. I prefer to eat outside as the acoustics inside can be overwhelming.

    Food yum. Cocktails are expensive and in a small glass 2/3full - I ordered the Australia 75. Poor value for the size of the drink. Service was good until the restaurant got more busy then it took a while to ask for another drink. We weren’t offered desert menu but we weren’t interested in desserts.
