We had Sunday high tea. Of our 5, we had a lactose sensitive person and 2x gluten free. With prior warning, the chef was able to accommodate our GF needs and minimise dairy. The teas are tasty, and the mix of flavours in the range of high tea offerings was excellent. Happy customers - 3 boomers 2 Gen X. Thanks.

The seafood is fresh and plentiful. Replenished quickly when running low. Roast meats perfectly cooked and the streamed barramundi was delicious. Great range of options for the kids. So many choices for dessert

Amazing food,seafood platter fresh an inventive, not just fried like others, The two witnesses where great but needed some direction an training, they tried but where flustered an could not even keep up with a quiet restaurant, no management in sight until she called for help to sort the bill out, Last visit was when it was salt grill, Amazing service and food then but was packed out an busy, Catch restaurant has great food but nobody Was there, everyone I brought was a local an didn't know it existed, some local deal on the deal diner app or radio adverts are needed, Will definitely return again but not in a hurry with so much choice on the coast,
