Great place to catch up! The view is stunning, especially at sunset. Photos are from two dinners (Aug 2025, Oct 2025). Group of 5. Service is very friendly and helpful, especially when ordering at the bar. Beer garden is our favourite.

The tuna steak was so dry it could have been made into boots. Without a doubt the driest fish I have been served. Such a shame as the location is lovely. Maybe don't bother with food. Follow up based upon your response. The options of patrons are limited in this situation. Option 1. I can either be difficult and ask for a recook, but based upon the condition of the tuna steak looking like it had been left in an oven for about 2 hours, I really doubted the ability of the chef to cook anything if that sort of standard is sent out of the kitchen. No word of a lie, the steak looked, was as hard as, and im quite sure tasted like a hockey puck. Or option 2 is asking for a refund, but seeing as I had already eaten the salad on the plate I am sure the wait staff would have frowned upon this. Being in a group for dinner limits my ability to want to make a fuss. Considering the food isnt cheap I quite frankly shouldn't have to be writing this review about the quality of your food.

Second time I’ve eaten here. This time was much better! Decided to get a streak sandwich and hamburger, both fabulous. Served up with a generous side of fries. Service was very friendly and the meals arrived quickly.

A few months ago, I took my elderly dad there for lunch. I ordered the half rack of BBQ pork ribs. It arrived with an unappealing looking purple coleslaw. I tried some and it tasted off. I sent my meal back to be replated with a green salad, and the meal was beautiful. Today I took my dad back for lunch again. He ordered the same meal, and to my amazement.. the same looking coleslaw was on the plate, with a random pickle that looks out of place. Dad refused to eat the coleslaw based on last time. I had the Humpty Doo Barramundi today and it was beautiful. Some of the other meals have been too, but the pork ribs we love...the slaw let's it down. I know it can be done better.

Had such a great experience at Brighton Beach Hotel. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service really stood out. Cassie was amazing — so friendly, attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. She genuinely went above and beyond and made the night even better. Will definitely be back!
