                  We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Sodafish. Everything from the friendly greeting upon arrival, the delicious cocktails and wines, incredibly tantalising food sourced locally resulted in a memorable dining experience. We would recommend Sodafish to all who appreciate amazing, fresh and innovative food.

                  Sehr gutes Essen - nicht die normalen 08/15 Gerichte, die man sonst meistens in Australien erhält. Das Dessert Affogato, war sensationell.

                  We did the $59 each deal which was two entrees and a main course. All excellent and lots of tantalising flavours . The highlight was the pickled gurnard entree. We added the $10 dessert of canoloni which we shared which was just the right sweetness to finish the meal. We booked for 6pm and enjoyed watching the sunset. We noted that there were dishes for non seafood people as well as vegetarians.

                  The Gurnard, Squid and Octopus was very chewy and tough.

                  Our main course of Rockling and John Dory was fresh and beautifully prepared. Sadly it took 40 minutes to arrive. Oysters were over priced for the size and quality . Staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable.

                  We loved the variety of dishes on offer and the matching wines. Service was excellent and knowledge of the dishes and wines excellent. We enjoyed the outlook over the fishing boats. We will be back.

                  We had lunch to celebrate a birthday. Ordered off the a la carte menu. Each of us had different choices, every choice was enjoyed immensely. The food was presented beautifully and professionally, waitress was attentive with a lovely personality. Could not fault our meals. A perfect place for a special celebration.
