South Sailor

The food was great and restaurant vibe was casual and relaxed.

Slow drinks service, rushed dinner service both detracted from the meal and evening

Great food with a great choice of drinks for those that love seafood and those that don’t!

Nice food. Took 45 minutes to arrive though.
Misleading blurb on website: "a fitting spot to settle back after a day on the sand and surf". Well not unless you go home and scrub up to wear your Sunday best.

Felt really uncomfortable with my kids. And was treated accordingly. My boys saw other kids (of the properly 'dressed up family') getting kids packs (to draw/spend time with), but they did not get anything.

Did not like the vibe at all, will not return.

The food was delicious and fresh. Service was great. Staff were friendly and helpful and good with explaining about the food on the menu. We sat in the outside courtyard and wasn’t noisy at all. Would definitely go back there again! Highly recommend this place.

Delicious dinner In outdoor setting. Menu is varied and interesting.

Loved our evening at South Sailor. The food was fabulous and service was spot on. Looking forward to our next opportunity to visit.

Good restaurant, good food, reasonable menu variety, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable prices

The cocktails are just as outstanding as the food!

really delicious and well priced food as well as a knowledgable waitress and a banging drinks list. overdelivered on every front!

Always very fresh seafood in interesting servings. The ambience is very nice and staff are very friendly. Our family are regulars for eat in and take away.

Enjoyed our dinner and will come back again when we are here next time on holidays from Sydney

Great service and food. No long waits and great value.

Food great and staff very attentive. The ‘outside’ eating area is perfect for an evening meal.

Consistently great food and brilliant service, good selection of meals and drinks. Friendly staff that make you feel very welcome and a relaxed atmosphere.

We dine here often and find South Sailor great.
It is definitely a great venue to have a nice meal with family and friends.

Definitely recommend!! Great food, service and location on south coast.

Great food selection and great chef
Definitely going back

Delicious food, attentive service. It was a pleasure dining here.

The food is delicious. We are lucky to have such a great local restaurant.

We always go to this amazing restaurant. The food is always great, service is wonderful. You can not fault the food here.

This is such a gem. The atmosphere is very Thirroul, relaxed, warm and friendly. The food , Japanese inspired seafood cuisine was delicious and unpretentious. We will return .

South Sailor is an exceptional place to dine. The menu itself doesn't change much, but the specials board is normally interesting. The drinks list is also outstanding: South Sailor Pale Ale is a great aperitif, the wine list is lovely, they have a Gamay on at the moment which is well worth tasting. Fish of the day on Wednesday was Marlin - it was cooked with respect and accompanied by a wonderful yuzu salad and fries. The fish tacos were wonderful as usual. A starter, 2 mains, a side of roasted vegetables, a beer, a Lark Hill Riesling and two glasses of Gamay for 130$ - great value.

We decided to order several small plates to share because everything sounded so delicious.
We made the right decision.

Fab food! Sit outside and enjoy the company of the water dragons!

The food and service were excellent, the music a bit too much rhythm and monotony and somewhat intimidating having queuing people in front of us. We felt the need to leave a bit too hastily.

Absolutely amazing food. We chose multiple share plates over the platter as we really wanted the BBQ octopus which was phenomenal. Also had the oysters, dumplings, KFC, and calamari. Beyond amazing. Will return for sure

Awesome evening at our favourite little northern suburbs secret. The food was amazing as always, with the Fish Pie being the pick of our evening. Perfectly cooked and the flavours were balanced. Great service from waitstaff that knew the menu and were able to mix a fantastic Mojito.

Beautiful courtyard, friendly and helpful staff, but even better than all of that is the seafood on the menu

Delicious food and wine. Relaxed dining

This is a wonderful place which if anything has got better in 2020. We had the fish pie (a paella really) and it was marvellous - I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary and 2 glasses of champagne appeared! Great food, staff and atmosphere!

Brilliant night. Highly recommend South Sailor. Food is great.

Great, except they did not have a few menu items and it was a Friday night. Otherwise it was exceptional and look forward to going back again!

Was disappointed there was no tuna but everything else was awesome

Fantastic experience as usual. The food, service and atmosphere at South Sailor is outstanding. Highly recommend.

Dinner at South Sailor was delicious and great quality for money.
Service was lovely as well. Highly recommend.

Our absolute favourite on the Coal Coast. Always friendly helpful staff & the food is beautiful. Great for our family night out.

We sat next to the kitchen and there was a strong fishy smell but otherwise everything wad amazing.
