Public Dining Room

We had a lovely evening out. The view is spectacular and the food is good. We will be back in the not too distant future and before the end of summer for sure.

Our go-to place for special occasions. Always a great experience. Four stars for food should be 4.5 ..my only whinge is portion size with the mains.

A regular place for us and never disappoints. A great selection of wine and food. Fantastic views over Balmoral beach. Highly recommended and looking forward to our next visit.

We were seated in the annex to the restaurant which felt cafe like and not at all like an upmarket restaurant. Might as well have ordered take outs from the fish shop down the road and sat on the beach. It would have been an all round better experience including the fish which was oily at best. Spoilt our anniversary celebration.

Public Dining never dissapoints. The setting down infront of Balmoral Beach is unbeatable and over the years this placed ahas developed a reputation of producing a consistency of high standard dining. Thankyou for a lovely evening.

The food and the wine were nice. The view is great. One of the steaks had to be done twice as it was over cooked. On the expensive side. Have been here 3 times already.

Excellent Service, stunning setting and food. Not great value for Money.

Excellent food in a beautiful setting. Try to get a table by the window if you can as the windows open and you get a lovely sea breeze and this only enhances what is an excellent restaurant experience.

The food was delicious, especially the oysters and the lamb shoulder. Service however wasn't quite to standard.

Everything about this restaurant is good except for the long wait between dishes. Must have been 75 minutes between entree & main course. Unacceptable!

Food is good but for me this spot is all about service and location. Portion sizes are a little bit small, but we had a beautiful meal and we’re lucky enough to score a perfect table by the window.

Food,wine,staff ,view and company all superb.We had a wonderful evening and definitely will return.Infact we have no idea why we haven’t been more often????

We have been coming here for our wedding anniversary for 23 years and have never beeen dissapointed . An outstanding restaurant ! We would reccomend it unreservedly .

A special evening for us, celebrating our guest's "O" birthday. The atmosphere was relaxed and ambience very pleasant. The food overall was excellent, however more substantial vegetarian options would have been desirable. I made the mistake of ordering the fish and chips, which was nothing to write home about, just very ordinary and I may as well have just bought it from across the road. During the course of the evening, one of the wait staff knocked a full glass of water over my husband. Yes, accidents do happen but this is quite an establishment & prides itself on being so, and I personally felt that some sort of compensation should have been offered for this incident.

Great breakfast, view and friendly service. Thanks!

We were a little underwhelmed overall with the food. We did enjoy the king prawns and roast pumpkin dish but the rest of the meal fell short. The pork belly was dry with minimal crackling, and nothing really stood out. Great beachside setting but I'd expect better food for the prices we paid.

This restaurant was a great find. The staff were great. Wonderful service and they were genuinely nice. Food was tasty, very fresh, could not fault our order. Mocktails was a little on the pricey side - Berrylicious (contained only strawberry puree and possibly soda water) $12. Location also great, stepping out right to the beach.

Amazing food, beautiful views and fantastic service. Great kids menu and they have high chairs. A really wonderful place for a special occasion with the family.

great breakfast smoked salmon and eggs was the best so was the service and views

Amazing food and wine!! Staff were wonderful and so accommodating. Could not fault them. Ambiance is something else. Can’t wait to go there again!
