    Best dinner in Kiama so far. We went on pasta night and the orrechiette with prawns was delicious. We also had amazing oysters and wish we had ordered more after eating them. Looking forward to going back one day to try their regular menu.

    We were a table of 10 people, and we could not have been happier with the Silica restaurant. We chose several different meals, and they all arrived at the same time which must have been a challenge for the kitchen, but very much appreciated by us. Everyone said how much they enjoyed their meal, and the service could not have been better. We had travelled from Sydney to celebrate the 95th birthday of our friend who had moved to Kiama. It was a long day for us, but it was so enjoyable, it was worth it. If you are looking for a restaurant that has nice views, excellent food and friendly service, then you will not be disappointed if you choose Silica.

    Very good local restaurant. Always consistently good food but as a local I would like more changes to the menu or seasonal specials.

    Terrible. Stood there waiting inside the door for someone to address us Eventually we were let to our table upstairs, place was echoing and full of terrible noise. Sat at out table and looked at the menu, which was different to the menu on the website. 10 minutes later a lady eventually came over and my wife said we were ready to order, she asked us if we wanted water and walked off. She came back and poured some water in our glasses, sat the bottle down and walked off to take someone else's order who add arrived after us. Sat there for another 5 minutes before another waitress walked past, picked up the bottle of water and headed off to pick up another bottle from a table of finished diners. We got up and left! Walked up the road to The Grand and had a much nicer meal with fantastic service.

    Silica restaurant is highly recommended. Our table of 6 people all devoured our main meals and left absolutely nothing on the plate. The meals were a good size and definitely enough. Table service was perfect. We were seated upstairs but as my elderly parents are hard of hearing the background noise of a large group booking was too loud for us to have a conversation. I asked if we could move downstairs where it was quieter and it was no problem at all. Very considerate and understanding. We have been to Silica for lunch numerous times and have always had an excellent experience.

    Absolutely amazing food, outlook and service. Best meal I have had in a long time. Oysters were amazing, kingfish crudo was spectacular and the barramundi was divine. My new favourite restaurant.
