Food and service is nice. View is beautiful.
On a sunny day, when we feel like a drive, we have gone to Fishermens Pier for lunch. We've never booked and have managed to get a seat (2 people) . This is great when planning is up in the air and you just feel like it in the day.
There isn't a particular dish I go there for. I've ordered different things off the menu and have gone for their specials too. I've enjoyed all dishes.
For our last trip, we had was the lobster: served half with butter / garlic sauce. The other half natural. When it was served, I regretted not doing the whole thing as garlic and butter though.
The wine list gets a double tick from me as hubby really likes a particular wine there.
Good little spot on the Geelong Waterfront. Started with the kingfish sashimi and scallops... massive serving of kingfish and was very fresh, scallops were small but had a nice buttery sauce and you got 6 for an entree which made up for the size. Had the lobster for main which was tremendous. Good size at 250g and with a slice of lemon was amazing... chips as a side were 10/10. Desert also quite nice. Restaurant was short staffed but the two girls did a good job
We had a lovely lunch at Fisherman's Pier! As o read in others' reviews, the service was great! We were served by a lovely waitress and waiter. I'm surprised the place wasn't busier during a Sunday lunch time! We ordered the entree sashimi with a side salad which was nice and fresh. Some of us shared the seafood platter which was really nice. The oysters Kirkpatrick were the best I've ever had and so flavoursome! Overall the presentation of food was great. The coffee was also really nice. We will be back again in the future!
We ordered two seafood platters between two couples, the amount of food and variety was very good for the price. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Geelong.
I came with my family for dinner & we ordered seafood platter $147 for two ( quite a big serve), mussels & cherry tomatoes linguini, garlic bread, aioli chips & chocolate pudding for dessert. We really enjoyed the fresh serve of seafoods & good quality meals. The service was pretty good and overall the restaurant had a great atmosphere and view of the beach.
FRESH, DELICIOUS AND SCRUMPTIOUS😝
This was super duper yummy and I would definitely come back for more! We ate the seafood platter🍤linguine, garlic bread 🍞 and chocolate pudding. The seafood platter was super fresh and clean, the linguine was pretty good but it could be better, the garlic bread was quite nice but there was a lot of butter and the chocolate pudding was alright but the ice cream was not very good. Overall the food was pretty good but the service could be better as it was quite inconsistent. I recommend the seafood platter as it was filling and enough for a meal with two people:)Gigi Alfred
Had an express lunch here without a reservation on a weekend during the school holidays. They were very accommodating and a child friendly restaurant. Had the express steak meal which came with chips and salad for $25. The steak was medium rare as ordered and the jus was delicious. Chips and salad were fine. It was a touristy location in Geelong along the waterfront and we enjoyed the experience. We got the impression that a tip was expected. Service was excellent.
If you have craving for seafood you can't go wrong at fisherman's pier. Have been coming here for nearly 20 years. Jimmy the manger provides spotless service and their seafood platter is to die for. The lunch special with school shrimp and white bait fish is the best I have ever had.
Delicious meal and great service. Walked in and ordered straight away, within 5 minutes of ordering our meals were served. Everything was perfect. Atmosphere was lovely, calm and classy (not loud and hectic like so many restaurants).
Can't wait to go back!
Came here today with my girlfriends for some fine dining and boy, was it fancy and delicious. We received Welcoming service from the staff and the waiters. I ordered the black rock risotto as part of the express menu and it was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection! The seafood was soft, mixed with fish, samon and colourful herbs that provided a balance to the food pallet. My friend also had the calamari which arrived in decent servings, non chewy and again cooked perfectly. Thank you for doing such a great job in your service and cooking.
Our second time here. Nice views and excellent service. The first time we had the Seafood Platter and enjoyed it. This time I had one of the specials ...their Beef and Reef. A perfectly cooked 250g chunk of Eye Fillet Steak, lemon roasted potatoes, Moreton Bay Bugs and a citrus jus. The only negative was that the potatoes were a bit dry on the inside. The Boss had the linguini with the seafood. Al dente pasta with a generous serving of fresh seafood. The only negative she found was the strong flavour of the olive oil. We started with the natural oysters topped with wakame seaweed and the Kingfish Sashimi. The oysters were fresh and tasty ...just a little overpowered by the wakame. The Kingfish was perfect. We will be going back for a third visit.

Seafood platter - wow. Brilliant service from a young waitress named Chloe who ensured we were looked after from start to finish. We arrived to celebrate a graduation and splashed out with the full seafood platter including the crayfish... Our eyes widened and mouths dropped as a double-tiered platter was gracefully placed on the table - the top layer a selection of cold seafood and fish: large juicy prawns, fresh oysters, smoked salmon, and of course - the meaty and delightful cray!
Beneath was a whole fried fish, fried calamari and condiments. We were in seafood heaven!
Hubby and I recently returned and loved the chowder and the seafood pasta.
Great ambiance and view - worth the price!
Wonderful. Nice atmosphere. Staff are EXCELLENT! The food is lovely. I will return.
Delicious. Have been here several times for important dinners.
The steak is amazing, and as a non-seafood eater I was even impressed with the fish.
Great service, nice atmosphere.
Fabulous Lunch. We had lunch at the Fishermen's Pier yesterday and it was fabulous. The seafood platter was packed with seafood. It was really substantial and truly a fabulous feast. Lovely place to sit on a winters afternoon and watch the boats. Our waiter had been working at Fisherman's Pier for at least 35 years and was such a pleasure. It was one of the most leisurely tasty lunches we have had in many years. We will go back for sure.
Fishermen's pier is a Geelong icon. First time I've been for years, and the food is as good as I remember. Service was slick and food was exceptional. These guys are doing a great job in the best location in Geelong. Highly recommended.
Fishermans pier is a Geelong institution - even when it's bad it's still good - and as if the Geelong crowd deserve any better - most of them are happy with ordering their wine at the bar and stuffing their fat ugly Geelong faces with parmi and chips - go here for the service and location and if it's a good nite u will get lucky with the food - seriously not that expensive - eat in Sydney or Melbourne and compare the prices - or just stick to your fish and chips at home in front of the telly
Yummy. Went here for a birthday dinner for my hubby never been before but will definately be back. Great service delicious seafood platter and beautiful wine, which was recommended by the waiter. Pricey yes but for a special occasion worth it!
Been to this restaurant several times ... absolutely love the food here ... they used to make an absolutely tasty truffle risotto with parmesan cheese but I don't think they have it anymore =( Environment is beautiful, especially during the night as there is a sea view -- The Food -- Oysters -- Fresh & Plump ! Souve- vide salmon, calamari Extremely tasty dish. Almost too beautiful to eat! Seafood was cooked to perfection ! Chowder Again extremely tasty ... on the foamy side but strong flavours. Not the ordinary creamy chowder ... Absolutely fantastic! Moreton Bay Bugs Lightly pan fried bay bugs with a sensational sauce that goes well together ... Moreton bay bugs were cook to perfection ... almost felt like I was eating lobster ... Pan fried Barramundi with bacon, mash and edamame beans This was more on the ordinary side ... Tasted exactly as described ... no wow flavours popping out ... Chocolate fondant with lavender puree One word : Wow! ... Brilliant dessert with a tasty puree,
