The Brighton Baths Cafe Reviews

Good food and fantastic location. Watch the sunset over the water while enjoying a good wine.

Beautiful location and lovely place to have a lunch with friends which is exactly what we did! Great food options too!

A really nice place for lunch or dinner. I eat in here regularly, the food is always very good and the views are outstanding. Also a very good wine list. I would recommend this place to anyone.

It's all about the view.... decent meals and the view of Melbourne skyline it pretty amazing

Left within 7 minutes of getting there, including the 5 min standing there waiting to be seated with many tables free and staff member literally 2m from us while we waited. Noisy atmosphere. Tables set so you're looking at window dividers instead of the view. Only half of the restaurant was open so you have to sit near the noisy coffee machine/prep area. It was previously great. It's sub-par now. Wasted my money on parking. Management needs a shake-up. Could be an incredible place...

Great food but really slow service with indifferent waitstaff

We ordered two soy latte. attached is double shot soy latte. it tastes sour and seems like soy milk spoiled and there's dregs. We tried to talk to staff and they said that's because of double shot. We have been ordering double shot soy latte for years, this is the first time...They offered free normal latte, but we're lactose intolerant. view's very nice.

Loved the food, had breakfast and it was very enjoyable. Coffee was very good too. My only reason for giving 4 stars, instead of 5 stars is because of the service. It was a struggle to get the team's attention, it was almost like they were avoiding eye contact. Smiling a bit more would help too.

We live just down the road and this is our favorite restaurant of all time.

Food is top notch
Service is to notch
Staff are friendly
Place is clean
Lots of pretty girls and well to do women hang out here and the yacht club is just over there :)
The gym is just over there
And the bar is just over there
Beautiful women everywhere :)
After a good feed relax for 20 minutes for your food to digest then go for a stroll along the beaches :)

This is mana made of heaven !!!

Great location, abhorrent dining experience.
- Fillet steak requested medium. Served rare. No choice of sauces.
- Duck, dry and lacked freshness.

- Expensive wine by the glass, Coravin not functional. Had to remove and free pour.
- Michelin Star prices yet tablecloth free tables.

Avoid if possible unless you believe a rank dining experience is an acceptable price to pay for views of the bay.

Service started quick. We were soon forgotten. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Food was good $$

The food here is excellent quality, however, the service is a little lacking. I've been a few times and find that we can tend to be ignored by waitstaff a little longer than I would like. Wonderful view. With a bit of improvement around customer awareness, they'd be worth a 5 star.

We asked for bread when we ordered and they arrived after we ate the food. Wine was not the best. Food was good

Very busy and popular place. Just popped in for a drink. Friendly staff. Great vista of the baths with added bonus of viewing the city at sunset.

Lovely day out with kids & family beautiful beach side

Very nice lunch outside. Had the chicken Caesar Salad and shared a ploughman's platter. Good service and friendly staff.

45 minute wait for two salads. We had to ask for menus. Table service non existent

Beautiful views not so good food asked them not to cut pizza being a vegetarian they cut with meat tasting cutter

Great place to relax with friends. The menu is better than average and sometimes exceptional. Not quite five stars. But always consistently good.

We only come here on our Harley. Usually late. City view are spectacular. Service always great. Reading menu's outside at night can be a challenge but bring your phone's . Meals have a great option and have Always been great. We love the "dessert tasting plate" nothing overly sweet. We usually avoid dessert!! Great spot to get great food and just relax.

Quick service on a busy Saturday arvo! Food is good but just a FEW options for vegetarians!!

One of the very best place you can ever think of, to start with is the food which is great by all means, I work in the hospitality industry and I would give this place 6 stars if possible, then and "if you get in early" the table with the view, you will enjoy your lovely food with the beautiful beach view, then you have the outstanding service that makes you feel like you at home, NOT too pushy and NOT a neglect service and this is to me is an A1
To make it even better, you can get your kids to swim in a secured big and massive caged open water beach with countless lifeguards all around, so we were enjoying our food and service and at the same time my son was swimming in a safe place and we can easily see him.
If you have not been there, then you're missing out by all means

Really disappointed with the breakfast... Beautiful view though! Would recommend for drinks, not food....

Great food, wine and service a \t a reasonable price. Good atmosphere at the old Baths and over looking the many boats at the Marina. Highly recommend

We had to wait 55 minutes to could have our order (one burger, one salad and spaghetti) and the food could be better. Good place to enjoy in family with a nice view.

My daily happy place during summer! Laying on the elevated decking means you avoid sand, plus fish and chips are close at hand. Perfect!

Nice place. Fireworks will not be visible from here on 31st night.

Actually went to the cafe bar part of this.... Seating outside as well as in.... Reasonable food selection... Staff were attentive and efficient.... Views are amazing... Comfortable seating... Well worth a visit

Wonderful view and location and amazong calamari but the mixed drinks weren't very good

We dined at the upstairs restaurant for lunch, the first thing that strikes you is the unit interrupted view with the floor to ceiling windows opening out onto the baths. The service was perfect and followed up with a great meal. I am very keen to go back and work my way through the menu.

You can smell the sea when you're eating your fish......

Ordered 2 pints of cider on a fairly quiet Saturday afternoon. They brought out the wrong drinks, 2 peroni. Then they fixed it but decided to try charge us for the drinks they screwed up. No apology or acknowledgement that they kept messing up. Full of young staff with poor service standards. For a place that tries to appear high quality it was so underwhelming.

Location is amazing ! But really $12 for a glass of ice and milk (supposed to be a Matcha Smoothie)!!!!
Not worth it
Just come for a beer and the view !

This restaurant has an amazing view. We ordered the smoked trout salad, fried calamari, and steak with fries. The first two courses are recommended, but the steak was not for us. It's a good place for drinks, or a quick bite.

Great spot, and very high quality food and good service. Coffee was good, lunch was a little pricey, but location is the clincher.

The Lychee Mojito is worth the stop during the lockdown, looking forward to enjoying more of their hospitality when they open proper.

Had a great experience with downstairs wait staff. But upstairs hostess confused me by telling me I could only use the toilet downstairs.

A nice beer with a fantastic view. A good place to chill on a summer afternoon / evening

Food was good, service was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely be going back, had a great experience.

We had an lovely meal. The service was attentive and efficient.
The sunset view across the bay was an absolute highlight.

Excellent food and service. Staff are great and especially seeing motivational quotes every day we walk past is a nice sight.

The facilities are clean and they have a cool steam room that s glass looking out onto the beach. The gated swimming area is unique but not the typical pool I was expecting.

High end restaurant of CBD quality nestled in the suburbs.

It was ok not the best. The icy pole place was poor service. It a half a hour. And it didn't have what it said it has.from Finny aged 8

average food and average service save your money and ur life!

15 minute wait for a $5 bucket of chips, way overpriced

Customer Service was very poor. My wife and I were waiting at the door for a long time, not acknowledged by any of the 6 staff who walked past us before we were seated. Their only saving grace was the great coffee and the sea breeze.

The place is cool, I went for lunch on a Sunday with a group of five, no reservation is required to seat downstairs or outside. It has an ocean view and the atmosphere is nice. Too many waitresses doing the same thing and stepping into one another. They would come and interrupt you asking the same questions over and over like if they didn't communicate with one another. The food was ordered all together and when they served it two plates were missing. We thought they would be coming afterwards but they never did so after everyone else was done their food we we asked for the other plates and they said they apologized and brought them even though the waitress had everything written down and Co firmed the number of plates when ordered..

Top notch food and wine. Service was excellent. Very pricey but the beach view is spectacular. Great for a date or super special occasion.

Amazing location right on the beach. If only the food was any good. Both dishes we ordered were disappointing. Firstly there aren't many vegetarian options. So the two options that we had were the mushroom burger and vermicelli salad. The mushroom burger had a really dry brioche bun and lacked fillings and flavour. The salad was light but also lacked flavour. Very ordinary food. Great view so maybe come for a drink instead.

Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was fantastic. Work Christmas function was here in a private room and it was beautiful. Great views of the ocean and cityscape.

$4 for a medium takeaway coffee (which was actually small). The vibe here is a bit too pretentious for ordinary folk.

We had X-mas lunch here and the day was spectacular! Great waitress, quality food and the views, well simply stunning.

Just popped in for drinks. Menu is pricey but the view is spectacular.

Service staff here are super friendly and welcoming! Food was not bad but a little on the pricey side. Nice view of the sea.

Service was just ok. I'm fine having to pay for sides, but not one server recommended we order them so we had a few mains show up that were basically a piece of meat on a plate. The food was also very slow to come out. Over an hour wait for food. When the food came it was very good. At this price I would expect a much higher level of service though.

Met expectation...no less no more...a bit dated perhaps. Good food good service.

Great food. More importantly nice coffee. Perfect pit stop location right next to the bike track and close to the water.

Beautiful views, great place for a few quiet laps, especially in the colder months

Food was quite good however it was let down by average service and that it was a very noisy and echoey venue. It was difficult to have a conversation with our dining guests.

Following my review the General Manager contacted me to address my concerns which in itself is impressive. I will be trying the restaurant again and look forward to the improvements.

I think the view is spectacular , however the food does not have taste at all

Hi recently dined at the baths restaurant. The food is a little bland it was a set menu 5 coarses expectations weren't there.

Nice place great views, new menu hardly have any Vegan options, really disappointed used to come here often.

A mojito on a sunny day next to beach? Well, that's the place

Normally lovely food and great staff but today staff were disinterested and lazy and the food was only ok.. left unsatisfied and disappointed!

Too expensive. $32.60 for 2 beers and a bowl of chips !

Went for dinner, found few options for my vegetarian slanted diet

Fancy.
Good food.
