Always high quality yummy food with great atmosphere. We enjoy eating in outside area best and love to take our dogs very dog friendly which makes it ideal place for brunch! coffees great with enticing good menu and wine list for anytime of day or nite :)
We enjoyed our meal here so much that we returned for breakfast the next day. Both dinner and breakfast were exceptional. The meals are quite large and the young lady serving us was extremely helpful and attentive. I highly recommend this establishment. Also the view and position for people watching is fabulous.
Fantastic Food....a drive of 90 minutes was so worth it. The venue is aesthetically pleasing, the space and the ambiance was perfect and despite it being soooo busy we were never waiting for food or drinks. So many staff and the food was so fresh the fish must have been swimming that morning.
Great portions tonnes of flavour and a great lunch all around.
We started with trio of bread, onto Fisherman’s basket and Cajun wrap with an array of drinks. $150 for two and left full and happy.
Geelong has some great food houses and this is one of the best.
Great relaxed vibe opposite the water... enjoyed the beers and atmosphere
Great service from the team and great food, highly recommended .I had the fish and chips , really nice quality and good size serve. A burger as addition to the menu would be awesome.
Great place, fast and friendly service.
The place is near the waterfront so you can go for a nice stroll along the water.
The menu had a wide variety items and also classics. Spanish Vol au vents were delicious.
While staying in Geelong for the weekend, we walked along the waterfront and popped in here without a booking on a Saturday night. Very busy and all tables booked except for window seats which was fine. The service from all three servers was very friendly, professional and helpful. I had the chicken breast with broccoli, and house chips (which replace the polenta chips) which was tender and juicy. My partner had the Chicken Parma which he reports was ok. There was too much thick, rich tomato sauce and was quite tasteless. The ambience was noisy but had a good feel to it. Prices were as expected along the waterfront but were quite good. I would recommend this restaurant and they only lost one star because of the Parma. We would return.
Only new to Geelong area and have to say.. sailors rest has an awesome atmosphere and really down to earth staff! One of the best Parmas I’ve had in a looong time! Will definitely go back- and even enquire about having our wedding there!!
Lovely setting. Glad I read the good reviews and chose to have our Lunch here. We were after good seafood and were very pleased with the seafood risotto (gluten-free version of the spaghetti) and the calamari. Definitely a high end pub food feel. Will be back when driving through Geelong again on a summers day 🌞
Wow ... what a view !!!
Spent a lazy Sunday afternoon here on the rooftop deck. We had a few grazing dishes coupled with some drinks. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere, great service and the food was delicious!! Perfect location in Geelong to soak up some sun and enjoy the weather! We will be back
Love the new roof top bar . I can’t wait to go back. Yummy bar menu and great ambience.Met friends out front later and great food there too . My favourite restaurant on out beautiful waterfront.Thankyou .
Had lunch at this beautiful place on Sunday. Enjoyed the place which are located in Geelong CBD near the beach. Food were awesome, perfect grilled temperature of salmon avocado bowl. Chilli burger was juicy. Highly recommend this place to eat and chill if you’re in Geelong.
We sat in the beer garden on a very humid and hot day. It was lovely. Had the salt and pepper squid with chips. It was delicious! And the Cascade ginger beer with a lemon slice on ice was spot on. I would like to commend the wait and service staff for their outstanding and quick service. It hadn't been 5 minutes when both drinks and food were in front of us. Loved our lunch meal. Thank you
We went for brunch and unlike other places they were serving lunch all day. The layout of the place was nice and cozy. The outdoor sitting was quite nice too with the view of the ocean. We had full breakfast and jack sparrow(something new). Service was friendly Overall, happy with the experience. Would defiantly recommend.
Great food place in Geelong. Have been here couple of times and enjoyed the food every time. The location is great, right next to the waterfront. Ambience is really nice and they have ample seating space offering both indoor and outdoor seating.
We ordered marinara spaghetti which was good but a bit on the spicier side, satay vegetable curry with rice, bruschetta, grilled prawns, calamari rings and bowl of chips. All of the dishes were fresh and hot and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
After a trip on the Geelong Fairy, we were ready for lunch. Very happy with the prompt service. Order taken and food delivered in a timely manner. Fish and chips was very generous portion especially the chips. I had the Wagyu burger as it was the only option. Long time since a normal hamburger was available. The Wagyu was very tasty. All the food looked delicious. Good that breakfast is available in the afternoon.
Nice place with a good menu. Big plus is that they add some fruits and veggies to the children's dishes, but why only the standard chicken nuggets and fish fingers? Would be nice to offer kids some more exciting things.
The pumpkin salad (without cheese) was yummy, albeit a bit small. All in all, a nice place.
Had lunch in the outside area, great friendly service. The setup with the music meant even though we were next to the busy road you could barely hear the traffic. Very comfortable.
Wedges yum. But the best part about this place was the kids nuggets plate!!! Nuggets + chips + carrot, celery apple cucumber and stawberry. Ive never seen a meal like this for kids but wish there was more of it!!!!
My wife and I had a day in Leopold we stopped at Sailors Rest for a late lunch on the way home. Served by Ben and another young waitress both had exceptional customer service skills made us feel welcome and at home even though they were close to closing time for lunches we picked a great table ordered food and a beer and in less than 5 minutes food was delivered! Fantastic meal, great service, beautiful water views it was perfect definitely 10/10 and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for everything it was flawless Ben even bought me out some extra tomato sauce 👌
Great location, great coffee, great food and fantastic service! We came in for lunch and settled in for a few hours. Credit to Charlotte who was so friendly and really genuine about the delicious items on the menu. Sticky date pudding to die for!!
