People watching, go just cos.. bit of history, nice spot.. no idea what the food or gym is like but both popular. Cost of lockers, access and what not very reasonable given the location and quality..

What a wonderful location, perfect for late afternoon watching the sunset on the deck having a cocktail or two. You can head inside to the beautiful restaurant with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bay. There is also a little nook with an open fireplace to have a nice glass of red and a cheese platter on those cold Melbourne nights. Sunday afternoon on a sunny day gets very busy with quite a few people going for a dip in the bay. Overall it is the perfect spot for catch up.

On 2nd of April I brought my wife for a lunch for her b'day to the Baths. We tried to order our meals and we were told that the lamb wasn't available and they didn't have the dutch carrots. So we settled for the fish and chips that are overprices. We were very disappointed, will never come back.

This place is in a great spot, the outdoor part is super dog friendly which is great and the staff are nice enough but after a slow start to the morning we went down for some breakfast to be told sorry, breakfast finishes at 12pm . I was shocked! I then asked if they were even able to do me plain avo on toast but they said they couldn t. Such a disappointment for a Melbourne cafe to not serve breakfast all day. I ate elsewhere as I didn t feel like fish and chips or pasta for breakfast. Need to serve breakfast allll day guys! You re in Melbourne!

The food, the service and the views were superb. Will definitely try and get back some time soon.

Poor service, took a long time for every step (menu distribution, taking order and serving) , only 8 main options and 3 out and we were told after decided. Beer served in wine glass, so pathetic. Considering restaurant level and price, it's scam.

On Wednesday we visited the restaurant for lunch. My husband ordered calamari which was listed on the menu at $18.00. Seven crumbed calamari rings arrived on the plate . While I realise that we pay for the location, the tiny portion at that cost was exorbitant and might I say a bit of a rip-off.

A particularly good spot to have a sundowner, especially when the weather is good, the wind is calm, and the boats are out to play. The food is not bad and there is a limited range of on-tap beer (which frustratingly often has several brands out of stock). Service can be spotty, but the location sells it. This is a place to be relaxed.

We went for lunch and it was very disappointing. The food was very mediocre with the pasta being cool and the hummus awful. It is not cheap, they are trying to sell the cook book, but there are not the finishing touches, for example the pepper is in a plastic dispenser. To top it all off the male toilet was blocked and I was told that it kept happening.

2 starts was because of the view. Other than the location this place is nothing but average breakfast menu is ok but not sure how they justify the price even have to pay for parking on Saturday. Would never go back there.

My partner ordered a burger for each of the family and they handed him a bag, but it didn't seem much. He asked are you sure is that all and they said yes, but two burgers were missing. He had to go back for them.

I ordered a salmon and prawn burger but it was awful, after one bite I stopped eating it. The pattie was full of breadcrumbs and very stinky fish, bits of skin in the pattie - but mostly bread and the pattie was grey on the inside.

I asked for no chips but they gave me chips anyway. I ate one and it was also terrible, not worth the calories, so therefore very easy to resist eating them.

My partner said the cheeseburger meat was dry and tasteless. We expected much better for the price.
What a waste.

Meh.

The worst breakfast experience. Paid $18 for just two eggs on a piece of toast. That's it. The rest of my plate was empty. Asked for an extra piece of toast which I never got. Very rude and careless staff. Will NEVER go back although I live a minute away.

'd say the menu and drinks are 20-40% overpriced but the view is alright. Car parking is charged ($5/hr). Friendly staff, seems to have improved since previous reviews. If the food pricing and quality was improved this place would hum.

Great place a nice vino. However found it a little disorganised trying to get a place to sit. So we find a table or wait you be seated? Sign said o order here for outside table but was told it was table service out side.
Once ordered food came quickly. Tender and crispy.

Terrible!

Terrible!

Went there for lunch. The food was mediocre and we were overcharged for the meal (charged for an item that we didn't order or receive). I contacted the restaurant once I realised their mistake and explained that they had overcharged me and stuffed up my order.

They didn't apologise at all. Eventually they offered to refund/gift voucher the difference, again without any apologies.

Today, when I went back to use the voucher the staff were unfriendly and made me feel like I somehow owed them.

Will never be going back. Bad experience.

The restaurant was fantastic.Stunning view and especially beautiful sunset and the sea. Food was light and delicious.The staff was very polite and attentive,especially Julia,who was one of our waitresses. We had an amazing experience. If you are looking for an elegant place with certain chic and vavavoom.... that's the place to consider.
I would strongly recommend it and we will definitely go back.

Rubbish. Waited an hour for a ham and cheese croissant for my daughter! Had to ask several times for water. Staff friendly but out of depth. Avoid. Food ok but expensive. Service just awful.

Hubby and I came here on boxing day for a walk by the beach. Not many places were opened on this day, and we thought why not give this place a try, even though we didn't expect much from a 'touristy' restaurant. We ordered fish and chips and the calamari. They both turned out to be fresh, well seasoned and well prepared (Not oily and the coating not too thick, thank goodness). Food portion was a bit smaller than other restaurants, but we rather choose quality over portion. Surcharge on public holiday which was kinda common. Dog friendly restaurant. Enjoyed our lovely lunch with spectacular view.

We were asked for our drinks order about 10 mins after we sat down. So we ordered a pint of beer and a cocktail, and we ordered our meals simultaneous ly.....a burger and fish a chips. 15 mins later I asked whether we could have our drinks and was told that it's in the system (??) and that we will get it shortly. 15 mins later our food arrived, the burger was ok but my wife's fish was oily and tasteless. I had to ask for sauce and helped myself to salt and pepper from a nearby trolly. My wife then got her cocktail and they brought me two wrong orders, sparkling water and then again a Crown lager.......of course I sent the waiter away. My beer Stella Artois arrived after I finished my meal!!!!!!
They did not apologize for the late arrival of my beer, they did not offer us water on arrival and they also did not provide hand sanitizer. Nobody asked not once, whether our food was in order.....a terrible experience costing us $76 . NEVER AGAIN, thank you!!

My husband called this an RSL for the rich people. And he is right. The food is a bit meh and the prices was a bit high, service was pretty rubbish.

We order the seafood platter for two to share, the first waitress doesn t know how it s cooked and the second waitress said it s boiled w herbs. We thought it was going to be hot, but none of it was hot. And coming here in such a cold rainy day it was such a huge disappointment. The mussels were very very amazingly fresh though, but the all the clams have horrible little mini dead crabs in it. The oysters wasn t super fresh and the octopus was really hard.

We had the apple tarte fine for dessert and thankfully THAT was warm and it was really nice.

Parking was horrendous and I most certainly won t be coming back again.
