First time in Byron with a girlfriend and no family! first stop-Beach resturant. Not dissapointed. The favourite dish was the foccaccia fried bread with truffle beef carpacio and chocolate fondant . Slightly on the overpriced side but I'm guessing we're paying for the view. Great wine choices-the sparkling rose by the glass is a hit. Good service, however they failed to let us know about the specials on the day.
We had a really great time here for dinner. Service was awesome, beautiful view, yummy dinner and wine and cocktails. Went for my birthday with my parents and partner. We shared a whole lot of starters and had a main each. Really decent sized portions. Will be back!

7/5 On a perfect day we were a walk-in and Damien could not have been more welcoming. Yes of course I’m terribly sorry he said all the front tables are booked but have this one! Perfect! Shaded and Cool looking straight NNE to the Solomons. Almost flying fish weather still two months from spring but beautiful. A snappy few campari with soda then coffin bay oysters and the chat potatoes waiting for mains..the place was buzzing and pleasantly designed, renovated and old modern. Beach bar meets verandah meets pavilion and accessible for just a coffee through to full meals. The roast pumpkin agnolotti in a burnt butter with Cavolo nero. I’m guessing it was blue pumpkin because it roasted up beautifully. Squid’s ink spaghetti and cuttlefish were exquisite. The best was the lightly fried gnocchi with osso bucco. A radicchio walnut salad to lift the palate. Perfectly sized portions house made pasta and a quick and engaging service. Thanks Damian and Jess. You are, with respect worthy custodians of possibly the number one dune set cafe on the easterly edge of carrier Australia. In the hothouse of fresh food and excellent cuisine that is Byron Bay and surrounds Beach has the position, the service, and the cuisine, and clearly love their work.

We went for dinner on a night when a monster storm rolled through, which obviously provided some additional work for the staff. The place is pricey ($240 for 2, with a mid-priced wine and public holiday surcharge). As noted by other reviewers, the view is absolutely stunning.
The menu is solid: narrow range weighted to seafood, which is why we picked it. The wine list is really well put together, great choice of beers and cocktails, and a great range of sensibly priced wines $50 a $250. It also had a nice range of vermouth etc, more on that later.
We had an Ochota Barrels Riesling (very nice accompaniment to the food). Entrees we had the raw fish (tuna) and burrata: fish was good; but the produce used in the burrata was poor - awful cheese and tasteless tomatoes, with 2 basil leaves. Both our mains were excellent: snapper with zucchini and pea salad, and mahi-mahi with tomato and almonds. The potato salad was actually pretty good, but probably not what we were expecting (I just thought posh chips). The tiramisu was great, just a classic like mum used to make.
I will tackle service in 2 parts. Firstly, we were put next to a couple of large tables with kids - they were horrible - whining or on devices with the volume blaring - if I was at the Byron hotel, fair enough, but this is not “fine dining”. However, unsure what the owners can do about this.
Secondly, the service overall is a bit shit. We got nothing, then water and an explanation of specials, then nothing, then wine and entrees (because Nikolina thought they might not come back), then we ordered mains, ordered dessert straight after mains on the same theory. I got the wine list but gave up on the after dinner drink. Their Italian friends got the seat at the front and good service, until they got forgotten, but I had run out of sympathy by then. Everyone was serving their own wine. Either just not enough staff, or badly organised.
Lovely ambience and a fantastic view , all wait staff were friendly and helpful and of course our meals were great , a little expensive but the quality is there . Good winelist and plenty available by the glass . I would recommend the tiramisu and the coffee - excellent
Booked a group lunch for 7pax here based on our last experience 3 years ago, which was amazing. I've read some of the mixed reviews below so went in with an open mind and palate.
Well it was spot on! Our waitress was super lovely, she ensured we all had drinks throughout stay and was just a lovely girl.
For entrees there was a mixture of Byron Bay Burrata, Pasta with Sausage rage, Oysters ordered. All where were fabulous. For main I had the grilled prawns (with butter, tarragon and tomatoes) while some of the others ordered salmon cutlet, and FOD which was swordfish. Everyone enjoyed their meals thoroughly. And agreed this was the best meal of our 4 night trip! Would highly recommend this place for a lovely setting overlooking Clarkes Beach and some delicious food.
Had a lovely dinner in this gorgeous place with beautiful ocean views. The service was super friendly and added to our experience. The food was good though the location is really what makes it special.
Delicious takeaway coffee and juices. I thoroughly enjoyed my watermelon apple and cucumber juice from here! I was also greeted with warm smiles and happy service.

Needless to say, who does not understand the quality, or no one has ever try it is not able to judge. It is really a shame to read these negative reviews (of course partly made by competitors). I'm Italian, I worked in restaurants in my country, I love the food, the wines and I know what quality is. I live in Byron Bay for a while and I go out to dinner very rarely because I could not find a restaurant that is worth. I heard about a new Head Chef recently arrived at Beach, and because his reputation preceded him, I went to celebrate my birthday. A solar Brazilian waiter greeted us and seated, David Lovett (the Head Chef) came to greet us and tell us a little bit of local products he uses to create its excellent cuisine, needless to say immediately we saw his passion. Of all the dishes we ordered the shrimp butter were to scream, the revisiting of bagna caoda (Italian dish of my region), which is quite delicate than the original version and adapted to the wonderful season, and aged beef ... ..OMG! I can only say that when they brought the bread made in a wood fire oven to make the slipper into the sauce of shrimp I wanted to cry ... I felt ... at home ... and if you are a meat lover, even if there is not in menu, ask for it ... finished eating it you will continue to smell the pot, so perfumed that will remind you wine and cheese ... the dishes created by David does not claim to be nothing but themselves, each element which composes his dishes is enhanced by maintaining the balance between the flavors without one prevails over the other, good food is a simple kitchen, humble and passionate, as the Chef I had the pleasure of knowing.
Nice venue with views of the ocean, friendly staff who were attentive. Went here for a lunch function. Canapés were tasty especially the beef tartare which was the highlight!
