We were a group of 6 and ordered the $75 banquet. We had some pre-dinners at home, but should not have...the quantity and quality of food provided in this banquet was outstanding. The service and view were also excellent. The standard of food was high and the flavours were really bought forward in each dish. The dishes then flowed well across our palates. The wines they recommended were good and the raturant pale ale also good. A memorable night thanks Sebastians

I’m not sure if it was the joy of the first restaurant meal post-Covid iso, but dining at Sebastian was a meal worth waiting for. We’d been meaning to try this beachfront spot for some time, so it was a real joy to have this moment.
Our menu totalled $160 for two people, including three courses, one alcoholic drink each and coffee. Most of the dishes (on what looked to be a slightly pared-down menu) are designed to be shared and take their cue from the Basque region of Spain.
Sadly, due to time constraints, the set menu was not available, but that didn’t stop us finding plenty on the menu to please. Standouts were the eggplant and polenta and lamb shoulder. The custard dessert was outstanding (why anyone would order anything else is a mystery).
Service was of a high standard and very friendly and helpful. We had the feeling that the whole dining experience was much more efficiency given set booking times, pay at the table and so on, though we never felt rushed. Tables are spaced enough to comply with the rules and ensure that everyone feels safe, yet the ambience is such that you won’t feel like you’re dining alone in a desert. The only hint of something odd was the waiters’ wearing if disposable gloves which gives off a slight fast-food drive thru vibe, but which is completely understandable given the current circumstances.
We might be facing a Melbourne dining scene that is forever changed in the coming weeks and months. Hopefully Sebastian and it’s flavours of Span are here for the long run.
Too my wife to Sebastian Restaurant last night for the first time and what an amazing experience, we had no booking for a friday night busy period but as soon as we walked in we were welcomed and acknowledged by 4 staff, they check availability and luckily one table available for us.
We had basic starters, Entres then mains. Every dish was amazing, best of all. Service from our waiter just made the whole experience enjoyable, we will be back very soon
4 🌟 from me 😁
I must say the service is extremely good, the food we ordered tasted quite good, we love spanish food. The small plates portion is really small, but that’s fine as we can order a few plates to share. We have been told to wait for approximately 40 minutes for the grilled fish, so we are prepared for the wait, or else we would have complained bout the waiting time. Best is they have seatings outside with great view, very relaxing ambience, but there are flies inside the restaurant which are quite annoying:
Very friendly and attentative staff. Great food with very generous portions (small plates are not small) that are great to share at reasonable prices. Lovely views of the bay and beach from outside on the deck. Inside is relaxed and light with cool white and blue tones - makes you feel like you are on the Mediterranean.
Delicious food, great service, amazing venue with fantastic outdoor beach views
I have been to Sebastian multiple times with my girlfriend and it never fails us.. from the beautiful view and fresh vibes to the fresh clean tapas styled food! We love it and will continue to support this fantastic restaurant in willy!!
Great food and service -accommodating dietary requirements for 2 of our party, delivered with minimum fuss. Generous set price menu.
We had a small family gathering to celebrate a birthday and couldn’t be more impressed. We opted for a set menu and were not disappointed. The quality and variety was great, from steak tartare and foie gras (and others) to start and then whole fish and porterhouse for the main - every meal was spot on. The service was exceptional and the venue itself is stylish and is right in the beach. Hope the locals support this great restaurant as it is something that Williamstown needs and deserves.
This dazzling waterfront restaurant impresses equally with its decor and high-brow air as it does with its food.
From the faint, intermittent strumming of the Buena Vista Social Club over venue speakers, to the butterscotch booths and mellow fireplace, it is an effort not to be at ease.
The showstoppers at Sebastian were the Coca de Tomate (tomato tart with Shaw river buffalo curd) and the Flinders Island Lamb Neck (Mojo, local saltbush, white beans, Jamon, pimiento piquillo) - with the latter so appreciably tender, light effort with a spoon could cause it to crumble.
Wow! What a wonderful dining experience. The first thing you notice is the soothing view of the water mixed with the warm blues and white which make you feel you have left the suburbs. The staff are attentive and charming. The layout affords a cozy, yet private seating. The food was sensational, if I could have had one of everything I would have. A great mix of vegetables, seafood, poultry and red meat. Oh, and the cocktails! Let the waitstaff guide you, they know their stuff! Don't pass on this gem if you get the chance!
Sebastian's thoroughly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in the service was superb, with knowledgeable and attentive staff taking our food and drinks order promptly but without making us feel rushed at all. The cocktails were awesome and the food was delicious. Light, tasty and just right for a hot day. Our position in the alfresco dining area overlooked the beach and the ocean; simply stunning. It is a long way to go but we are looking forward to another visit.
Excellent value banquet meal in the private dining room. $80 per head for 4-6 entree and 2 mains 2 salads and desert. Kids menu for little ones. Lovely interior and view over Willy beach. Highly recommended.
Super impressive restaurant in an amazing location. Normally a great beach location means average experience, not here. A fantastic Basque influenced menu with superb service. An absolute must go.
First time dining at Sebastian's. We had a lovely experience, staff were very helpful and attentive. Food was very delicious. Absolutely loved the Basque cheesecake finish off the evening. Will be back to spend more time on the beautiful deck.
Excellent service with live music, it's a hotspot in this area. The shop is located in a wonderful location. There is a wide selection of food and beverages. What could be better than this? Sit and chill in beach-side on a nice day along with sipping cocktails watching the surrounding atmosphere.
I came here with my work DSV in a group of around 22. Amazing food, beautiful location and outstanding service. Your Team are top notch. Highly recommend to others.
Great service, delicious food, comfortable environment, wonderful location. We came for our anniversary and this was a perfect restaurant to make it a special occasion. We had croquetas, Basque crispy muscles, freekeh and cauliflower, snapper, heirloom tomatoes and Basque cheesecake with sangria and a cocktail. All delicious.
