My 2nd time. The food never disappoints. Fresh, perfectly cooked with amazing sauces, and presented well. The 3 course Chef's Menu was amazing value at $59. Accompanying wine only $29. This was on a Sat night. Unbelievable. Well done to the whole team

We had the $59 seafood banquet and apple crumble for dessert. Staff were great and we did enjoy our meals. We're not big eaters (sharing a pub schnitty for example) but even we felt that the portions were very small. Overall a good experience.

Nice location but very poor service - both the waitress and the fact our chips ordered for our mains arrived after the mains were eaten.

We enjoyed the three course set menu with matched wines as recommended by our knowledgable waiter ‘John the Pom’. The food was superb and offered excellent value with high quality service. Happy to recommend Sodafish - worth the diversion to Lakes Entrance to enjoy a meal here.

Fabulous location, fabulous decor, fabulous music. And the food was to die for. We had the set menu with added extras, dessert and wine pairing and were very happy.
