The fresh seafood was amazing. The oysters were a bit underwhelming, but the prawns and lobster were absolutely fantastic! Make sure to dip them in the sauce! The staff provided excellent service and seemed very confident in their menu recommendations. The only downside was the angle of the outdoor tables—it felt like the food was on the verge of sliding off.

First time back to The Balcony in a while and it did not disappoint, I was so happy to taste such delicious meals. The oysters were mouth-watering and the Crispy Skinned Ocean Trout was one of the best fish dishes I’ve had in a very long time, everything we ordered was full of flavour I was at Rick Shaws the day before and I have to say I preferred The Balcony

Great views with an awesome atmosphere right in downtown Byron. The oysters were fresh and were just perfect for the sunset. The fried octopus was very tasty, with the batter being well seasoned and complimented with the refreshing sauce. The stracciatella mozzarella and tomatoes were delicious and recommendable. The wagyu left something to be desired, very tender. However, could have been seasoned a bit more. The fries were crispy and very tasty. Recommend this place for the vibe (live music), the view, and the oysters!

The Balcony Bar is the perfect place to re-hydrate on a hot day. A fabulous location to watch the hustle and bustle that is Byron Bay. Great service by friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We had a very enjoyable afternoon.
