    The food and atmosphere were fantastic! We were visiting Hervay Bay from Canada and were so pleased to find such a lovely restaurant. There was live entertainment which made it all the better. My husband and I both had the rib eye fillet and they were grilled to perfection! Nice portion size. We were pleased with the dinner. The service was slow, but fortunately we had the music to enjoy.

    Everything about Banksia was excellent. The food was amazing - I had grilled barramundi and it was cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The restaurant is beautiful, and we enjoyed the live music. Will definitely go there again.

    Lovely restaurant with nice decor. Food overpriced and the Chowder that I was so looking forward to was a real let down. Starter size serve dressed up to be a main in a cob loaf. How stupid do you think your customers are? Very tasty but seriously lacking. Won't be back anytime soon.
    Banksia Seafood and GrillResponded on 29 December 2024
    The Seafood chowder is our most popular dish. We use locally sourced ingredients, prepared in the kitchen and delivered to the table. We are very conscious about value for money and try to keep prices down.
