We had a family lunch for my son's 21st birthday. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They helped so much to make the birthday celebrations a memorable event. They provided table service for our table of 18 people. We had a window seat with the beach view. It was a Sunday and super busy as it was fully booked. At times it was very noisy with so many people. The food was nice enough and generous servings. Some thought the food lack flavour while others enjoyed their food very much. We went into the sports bar to play pool and popped into the pokies. Overall it was a wonderful experience with so much to do. Will definitely be back.

Visited the Brighton Beach Hotel and had an overall pleasant experience. The venue has a great atmosphere and a relaxed seaside vibe, making it a nice place to enjoy a meal. The steak was cooked well, however the vegetables served with it were mashed and a little bland, which took away slightly from the dish. That said, the meal overall was still enjoyable. Service was good and the setting makes up for the small food details. Overall, a decent experience and a nice spot to visit, with room for minor improvements.

We ate here after taking photos and playing on the beach. Western food, with a wide selection of menu options. Our food review is 7/10. The food was served quite quickly even though it was busy. The prices are standard for this class.

We brought my wife here for Valentine's Day. The restaurant is near the Rainbow House and parking was easy to find. The restaurant offers stunning coastal views and breathtaking sunsets. The atmosphere inside was great, and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

The Scotch fillet was one of the very best 👍 my 10 year old daughter had one whole portion 👍 she says the best one ever eaten. And the lamb ribs was surprisingly good 👍
