A popular restaurant at Robe, the Sails offers good food at reasonable prices. A fresh decor and a relaxed setting, the atmosphere is perfect for the beachside surround. The seafood platter was delicious, and we were able to change the oysters to Kilpatrick. Attentive wait staff, it’s a great spot for dinner.
In a word, wow. What a stunning restaurant Sails is. On a trip to Robe over the busy Australia Day weekend earlier this year, my partner and I managed to secure a reservation on our final night in town, after the venue was set aside for a wedding/closed the previous evenings. The evening was definitely one to remember. We were seated outside, and on a warm summer's night, it was so nice to relax into some chill time with a cool drink and the buzzy atmosphere of the lively pub across the road half drifting over. There's a great selection of local wines, beautiful seafood, and desserts to die for! The bbq scallops, eggplant & zucchini entree, and fig frangipani sweet treat were standout dishes. Also noteworthy is the service - the wait staff are personable, helpful and graceful. It takes a lot to etch a perfect experience into someone's memory, and for me, they've done it. Call it crazy, but if I relocate from Adelaide later this year, I may consider driving down the coast from Adelaide for a night just to enjoy an evening there again (restrictions permitting ofc!). Do yourself a massive favour and book in if you're ever in Robe.
We have just had a SUPERB meal here. The yellowtail sashimi as entree was very fine. A generous serve (we shared) of delicious fish on a bed of pickled seaweed with a sesame dressing and wasabi and soy on the side. For mains we chose the ‘whole fish’ and the ‘wagyu rump’ both amazing. The fish, locally grown barramundi, deep fried in the lightest of light batters and served in Asian style with chilies, spring onion, etc - ticked the box. The wagyu rump cooked to MR perfectly, with a confit of garlic, on a small bed of kale & silverbeet, complimented with roasted brussels and a naughty creamed potato dish on the side. Extensive wine list. Rosie was a delightful host passionate about what Sails has set out to achieve. Congratulations on what you have done so far and good luck for the future!
