Review Steamers Bar And Grill - Wollongong

We came here as a family of 6 for lunch. The food was great and the service was as well. We had a range of dishes from the kids menu to the dining menu and everything was really good with the desserts being a stand out. I would just say that they need to clear the tables quicker. We had a number of menus and plates left on the table for a long period of time and I had to actually ask them to clear some room on the table.

The venue was really quite nice, and on a positive note the staff were really quite nice and helpful. The location was stunning. My biggest issues is that i paid $50 for a wagyu steak that come to me dry and bland. I was really disappointed with what I received. Luck for the other people i was with that what they got to eat was tasty. So I must have just gotten unlucky.

Great place by the sea. Good food and drinks. Recommend the chilli margarita. Waiters are fantastic and overall good atmosphere.. the deserts are to die for.. we’re thinking of going back just for the deserts and drinks.. 😀. One thing to add, the prices are high. But it’s worth it.

Over priced menu and disappointing food This is my honest and fair review of this restaurant with the good and the bad below: [The good] - the decor is good as it's matching the sea side theme. - The toilet is clean and well maintained. - the outdoor seating is nice as you will look at the beach, the lighthouse and a bright blue seaview. - I highly recommend the softshell crab and the ginger oysters, they both taste good. - their online booking system and website is well designed, make booking so easy. [The Bad] - parking is a nightmare as the beach goers took almost all the spots, you might need to park in a distance from the restaurant. - the service is below average, the waitress didn't seems happy to work there despite I'm a polite and respectful customer. - We've ordered a seafood platter, the swordfish is dry and tasteless, and the rest are completely under seasoning, and there are no salt and pepper shakers on the table at all... - the servings of the food is wrong and it doesn't match the price tag, the beach view won't make any difference to be honest. In conclusion, it's not a good experience for me, not the worst just overpriced food and I don't recommend it .

Ordered $130 seafood board for lunch. Very small portion for 2 people which would be ok if was well prepared, which it wasn't, everything was over cooked and dry. When this was mentioned to the staff their reply was "its because we use a bbq". Nice location, but average service and food for the cost.

Good food, good view and good service. It's a fine dining experience at cost about 50-60 per person.

Highly quality dishes with excellent presentation and creative flavours. Excellent service and beautiful views. Highly recommended

I highly recommend Steamers. My friend and I had the seafood platter there for Easter on the Monday! Carter was super nice, friendly and did a great job serving us!! Will definitely be back when I visit Wollongong 😍😍

Our favourite dish was the Calamari skewers, which were grilled to perfection and the squid was the most tender I have ever had...the texture and flavour from the unique wood fired grill is great! The salmon was also wonderfully cooked and presented, and next time, we will try the beef. The grill really puts a wonderful rich flavour to the food and you won't get this anywhere else in the 'gong.

Justified serving a steak well done instead of medium rare as their meat is aged beef and therefore is always dry and tough. Terrible excuse by chef, and the manager backed his view up, despite the replacement being served correctly medium rare Update: got a call from the Director of Food and Beverages, spent 15 mins discussing, explained what happened. He took it all on board, apologised, and then shifted to justifying it as "we are implementing new training and strategies", and then asked me to make a "goodwill gesture" by paying for the other items. Seems the attitude issues aren't from the staff, but from management - just spoke to the CFO of the group, his attitude was even worse. Avoid

Very poor experience , my friend couldn’t eat her meal as it was too hot (Chilli) - yellow curry . As there are no lights outside difficult to read the menu and they provided no solution regarding the (food) situation . We advised the manager and 2 staff whereby we received very poor service by Amy and Roman. Bluntly told ‘ if you don’t like it, don’t come back ‘ by the manager! Definitely would NOT recommend this ‘restaurant’ Steamers definitely lives up to its name - all smoke no fire! Good at talking the talk but not at walking the walk !

Went to Steamers on Saturday there was 14 of us we had the winter special and it was great and the service was fantastic we all loved our dishes and our waitress Kate was amazing and so was the rest of the staff. Definitely will be going back again highly recommend Steamers.

My friend and I ate there on Tuesday night and had a great meal and excellent service. The seafood platter was amazing and the calamari was brilliant.

We had the caramelised garlic bread, scotch fillet medium rare, tenderloin medium rare, yellow curry and pork ribs. Everything was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavour. The wait staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. So overall a great night. Just for the doubters, our backgrounds are the food industry and we are fussy, especially with medium rare cooked beef.

Food was the best service great and views beautiful can’t wait to go back and recommend this place to everyone

Hands down, best place in wollongong to have dinner. Amazing staff, fast and friendly service and so professional. �

Took my Aunty there on Sunday 5/8/18 for lunch great spot, food would have been even more special if any of it was hot, i think the food was sitting to long on the pass before going out. First time here, but i will give it another go.

Attended Steamers on ?Sunday 20.5.2018 night and well not so great first hurdle was the reception girl at the counter we asked if we could sit on the deck said we did not have a booking she took at least 10 min to see if we could and discussing with the male waiter, so we were seated only to find the whole deck to be vacant all night ?mm what was that too hard basket ?? then we got the roasted garlic bread no one liked huge clumps of garlic in it and burnt ?? we all ordered entrees halloumi was great, i got the char grilled prawns of which were not cooked inside bad move Steamers for raw seafood and my son got the calamari was also not nice badly burnt our 1st course not good when the waitress asked how it was and we told her she was not impressed we complained ?? then the second coarse was ok some of it cold some to hot my husband got the pasta with seafood not shore where the seafood went? out to sea i think. i got the slow cooked lamb with root veggies it was more like mush and could not distinguish any veggies except the carrot of which was 3 pieces ??? i think the waitress we had was very nice until you complain. For the prices you pay there and i dont mind because i like nice food usually eating at Lagoon but thought try i think you all need to pick your game up and address the high amount of negative reviews you have. as you dont do even though you say you will address because you still have the same issues ?? Very disappointing prob wont go back and def address the from entry reception no one needs to feel like shit when you first get there and it seem to be an inconvenience that we even came there ???

Great drinks, great food, great service. Loved the lunchtime seafood plate and of course the cocktail menu!!

I thought the meal was very nice service was excellent but the absolute best was the half loaf Garlic Bread to die for. I did think the desserts let you down but over all a great night

Had a great evening with my family. GREAT service GREAT food sat outside with the best view in the gong... first time for us all BUT def will be back and def recommend it... well done Steamers ��

We were there last Sunday and had the best food the seafood platter was yummy � as was the steak looking forward to bringing our friends back

Second visit have to say a little disappointed this time. Food was good how ever the service not so good. After our meal was over sitting for at least two hours we were not offered a dessert menue or a top up of wine or water.

Today we had a family group have lunch at Steamers to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. From the first greeting the staff were very professional and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was delicious and was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you Steamers for a great experience. That glass of port was especially enjoyed by my mother.

Sensational food! The calamari was the softest calamari I’ve ever eaten in my life, Devine. Great waitstaff and overall an incredible night. Thank you steamers it was a lovely ending to a great day out with my husband � we will be back.

My boyfriend and I had our date night at steamers last night and from when we stepping inside the doors our experience was so special. The staff greeted us promptly and our table was ready and waiting which was nice and cozy by the fire place! They seemed fairly busy but had enough staff for quick service, our drinks were served in a matter of minutes and entrees not long after! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful when it came to suggestions. Thank you Steamers, we will be back!

The food at Steamers Bar & Grill is made with love and is to die for. The view from the restaurant and the ambiance is great.

The coffee good the breakfast very ample and delicious and the service was very good nice atmosphere well worth a visit

We enjoyed our dinner at Steamers for our 10th Anniversary. The meals were absolutely delicious and our waitress, Hayley, was very professional, friendly and attentive, as were all of the staff. We really enjoyed our night and will definitely be back again!

Have been twice, once for lunch and once for dinner and loved both times! Had two different seafood dishes and loved both, what a lovely atmosphere and staff were very friendly! Live music was a plus too! Will be back next week �

We lucked out and got an amazing table on the deck! That was a great start to the evening. It was really nice getting table service and from a host of friendly staff!! We had a selection of entrees instead of mains and they were delicious! Keep up the great work. You have a great team of staff!

Our group of 5 had dinner at Steamers tonight for my daughters birthday. We could not fault this restaurant. The friendly waitress, the quick and attentive service, absolutely delicious food which was cooked perfectly and very generous in size, the relaxed and inviting atmosphere and the beautiful views made this a special night. We'll be back for sure!

You cannot get a better location on Wollongong beach front, the food was INCREDIBLE, the only thing that let them down was slow service but they were flat out. Highly recommend if you want a some amazing food. Their caramelised garlic bread was out of this world.

Not my first visit and certainly won't be my last. Highly recommend Steamers 🤗

Great staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Food great, lovely atmosphere and location; reasonably priced. All in all a great night

Great atmosphere with a beautiful view of the Wollongong city beach. The food was a bit pricy but the serving was huge! The menu offered a huge variety and catered to all dietary requirements. The Seafood Gumbo for 1 can definitely feed two people. The $35 three course option was worth every penny, would absolutely recommend!

Very nice atmosphere and servers and menu is modern and extensive. Sticky Ribs were very overcooked which may suit some people. Good size servings as expected in a pub but high prices for the better choices.
