    OMG. From the moment we walked into the restaurant until we left everything was perfect. A party of 6, celebrating our 50 year wedding anniversary. The variety of drinks available would impress the most discerning person. Most of us had entrees, mains and sweets, which were all sensational. Prawns, scallops, empanadas, calamari and croquettes were our entree choices. Mains were bugs, barramundi both grilled and battered, pork and 2 lamb dishes. Sweets, semifredo, salted brownie and apple crumble. Not a complaint from any of us, as the food was exceptional and our server, Anna, from Brazil, was lovely to talk to and her service was great too. For a special occasion Banksia is the place to go!!!
    Banksia Seafood and GrillResponded on 22 February 2025
    Peter, thank you immensely for your review. Feedback like yours provides the entire team with purpose and pride. I will certainly share your kind words with Anna, and I'm sure she will be delighted to hear that her efforts made such a positive impact.
