   We have been to South Sailor several times and it has always been good. Today was no exception. Had the Seafood Sampler as always and today didn’t disappoint as usual.

   Every time we visit South Sailor we never ever disappointed! It’s one of the most consistent restaurants in every regard: food, service, quality etc. We usually take someone visiting us from overseas or interstate and they also, are so impressed by the offerings. We are very fortunate to have South Sailor within easy reach on the south coast and will endeavour to get back there again very soon. Thank you!

   We shared the seafood platter for two and a bowl of chips and the food selection was outstanding. Each tasty morsel was absolutely delicious with the cold dishes arriving first. A good variety and a far cry from the regular seafood platter with a mix of cold and deep fried. The staff were courteous and friendly. The basque cheesecake topped the whole meal off. A limited but good selection of moderately priced wines. We will be returning.

   We had an amazing bottomless brunch for my birthday. We were a group of 20 and the food was so amazing. There were so many different delicious seafood dishes. The staff and Owner Graham were very accommodating. Lovely wine and cocktail options. We had lovely time. Highly recommend!

   The seafood curry was very disappointing—completely lacking salt, overly watery, and extremely spicy, even for us as Chinese. The special chicken poke bowl was excessively salty, with too much gravy, which also overpowered the chicken. Additionally, the chicken was shredded like pulled pork, making the presentation unappealing. These two dishes definitely need improvement. On a positive note, the service was good, and the noise level was pleasantly low.

   Absolutely fresh, delicious seafood. Lovely staff. Nice food and drink menu. We ate early, 6ish so maybe had the benefit of not being too busy yet but we couldn't fault it.

   Food was outstanding. Service was fair however we were told we would have to leave our table as another booking was coming in which was not a problem only we hadn't been served our dessert and had just received a new drink. After being told 3 more times in 10 minutes we had to finish up we were virtually pushed out the door with finishing our drinks standing by the entrance. We noted several empty tables and no patrons waiting for our table as we proceeded to pay our bill. As locals we were showcasing our local restaurant for our visitors from Canberra who after the experience left stating, thanks but don't bring us back here again. Unfortunately, ended up a disappointing dining experience.

    Every course showed care in preparation and tastiness. We shall return. Sailors should not have music or at least much softer music.
