About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views

  • Neighborhood gem
Hidden away on the beach with stunning panoramic waterfront views, Waves Restaurant offers an amazingly picturesque dining experience.
As a restaurant, it is just perfect for casual group meals, a romantic dinner for two or for a more elaborate wedding – for which they are very well known. Their interior has an easy, coastal feel with comfortable furniture, letting the ocean take centre stage. With glassed walls allowing the maximums views of the ocean in front of you, the feeling of dining by the sea is as real as it gets.
Their team of chefs have created a seasonal and mouth-watering menu that complements the relaxed, seaside feel of the venue. There are also delicious vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options and a daily specials board. The wine list is also generous in its diversity with sulphate-free, organic wines available as well as delicious local and interstate wines.

    Waves is a wonderful restaurant and has been for a long time. Great location and views of the Bay. Menu is extensive and food is always enjoyable and reasonably priced. Staff are lovely and attentive. Will keep going back.

    Was expecting a more refined experience from Waves. Meals sizes were far too large and were more like standard pub meals than those I would expect from a beach front restaurant. The ambience was disappointing with the lighting far too bright and no background music at all. Service was good except waitress tried to take our plates away while we were still eating making us feel rushed.

    The meals were all very good, but a bit expensive. We booked for 4 but had 2 extras turn up at the last minute. Staff were very cooperative and happily moved us to a bigger table. Fantastic scenic views over the bay. Very pleasant dining experience. Highly recommend.

    The venue and view are stunning. The food was fantastic. The staff need more training in service delivery and the place will be even better.
