Reviews Coast Restaurant & Bar

I started off with a rhubarb and rose Bellini, which was fabulous. Fruity and pretty and refreshing. In fact, it was so good I had 2. Made up of rhubarb and rose petal purée, topped up with prosecco. For our pre-dinner nibbles, we had house-baked bread with cultured butter and smoked salt. This was so good. I am a huge fan of smoked salt, so this was a winner for me. Hubby loved it too. But I wanted way more butter! It was a very teeny bowl with only a wee bit of butter. I bet I could have asked for more. The staff were very obliging in every way. Mm, yes okay, we had chips too. Triple cooked with rosemary aioli. Yep, nice and thick-cut and tasty. They were very big; firm and tender if you get what I mean. These were just right. So here's the healthy side dish: pear, rocket, candied walnuts and parmesan salad. Also delicious. Such a fab combination at any time. The walnuts were really fresh and crunchy; we both loved them. The zucchini was interesting. Some of it was battered and stuffed as you can see. There were also grilled chunks of it, and lots of dill scattered over. I think it was stuffed with lemon and ricotta; also a great combo. We had ordered beef cheek, but they mistakenly brought out beef short ribs instead. They very kindly gave us a complimentary side order of cauliflower with almond cream while we waited for the beef cheek to arrive. The beef cheek was very tender, and so full of flavour. It came with gremolata and smoked cauliflower. Oh, and don't forget the onion ring on top. I think it looked a tad odd up there, but it tasted like a battered onion ring, which can only be a good thing. The cauli with almond cream was very rich and creamy. We were sooo full after all our starters, sides and tasting plates. This just about did us in, but in a good way. The staff were fabulous, efficient and friendly. What a wonderful, flavoursome, enjoyable dinner we had. If only we lived closer.

Fine dining in a beautiful tropical atmosphere. I have eaten here many times and the menu is always full of local fresh produce that is hearty, flavoursome and creative. This place is one of the best - and not just in Hervey Bay (that's a given) it rivals the best restaurants in Melbourne.

I have been to Coast Restaurant many times and we were looking forward to the new menu and new head chef experience. Ist rate as always. Thankyou Coast management and staff, I will be happy to continue recommending.

This is a slick well organised team of professionals. All the staff are alert to the needs of the customers and everyone is well looked after. The menu is creative and gives you the chance to try something you would never have thought to put together, it is fun. We close several small sharing plates and each one was faultless, the food was excellent and the ambience nice and classy. The only problem is we are moving on today so will not be able to try it again !!

Outstanding food, amazing wait staff.... just wanted a bit more sauce on the beef..... but that's being super picky!! ����

Enjoyed a great feed with family. The menu is designed to share, and yet it suits a couple or a larger crowd. Some items available in individual quantities so you can flex portion sizes to group (or appetite!)

Food was interesting and the staff was really nice. Be aware that all plates are intended to share so it might not be an ideal place to go by yourself. The dessert was a bit too fancy for my taste but that's probably just me :)

Pricey but a great fine-dining option in Hervey Bay. Would definitely recommend for special occasions, their menu & dishes are super high quality.

Adorable restaurant, sleek design, cool vibe and incredibly lovely staff make for a delicious night out! And the food wasn’t bad at all - the short rib is delicious along with a selection of fresh seafood. Meal for two adults was only 120 with beers and dessert so it wouldn’t break the bank either. If you’re in town for a Fraser tour - def have a lovely pre dinner at at Coast ! (A photo of the fresh King shrimp!)
