South West Rocks Surf Lifesaving Club

This was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had in a while. The view from the absolute beach front balcony is simply stunning. The staff are all friendly, happy, efficient, and helpful. The food is sensational. The cook on the creamy mussels was the best I've ever experienced and they were so plump and juicy, bathing in the creamiest white wine garlic sauce that was delicious. The oysters, so fresh. The salt and pepper soft shelled crab was a little lonely on its own on the plate. Another would have made it better value but was tasty. The garlic prawn skewers were delicious, but the duck spring rolls underwhelming. They were the odd dish of the day. Everything else was superb. The kitchen was quite happy to supply a request not on the menu.

Have had 3 meals here over last 4 days and can't fault service or meals. The staff have all been friendly, welcoming and helpful. The meals are large and perfectly cooked. We've had the seafood basket, flat head fillets(perfect light crisp batter), prawn curry and chicken schnitzel (large juicy chicken breast with perfectly crisp light crumbs) . Great prices and great view.

I'm 65, grew up in Southport, been eating seafood when I was old enough to eat solids. From smoked cod on Fridays, yellow and white mullet row when they were running, taylor fresh caught from Main Beach, barra from the Kennedy and many seafood restaurants since... The Fisherman's Basket from SWR Surf Club last night was the best seafood feed I've ever eaten. Thought I would compliment the chef! Expecting some grey whiskered old salt with an eye patch and parrot on his shoulder I met young Molly. Just the most amazing seafood taste experience in all my years, best oysters, scallops, prawns, squid, flathead, sauces.... To top it off all the staff were so helpful and happy to please, they obviously had great teachers in hospitality and humanity. I didn't ask Molly where she got her talents, suspect it started from mum and I bet Dad was a fisherman😁🤔 The place to eat on the east coast of Australia. Well done and thank you🇦🇺🐟🦐...
