Food great. Special of pasta with marron and prawns was delicious. Salt and pepper squid also good. Pork belly tasty but a little dry. We arrived at 6.30 and food order taken reasonably promptly and entrees and mains came out in a timely fashion. Then we waited..... and waited.......... took ages to clear plates. Would have ordered desserts but really just took too long. Shame. Food we ate was good just not enough staff to cope with tables.

The lobster on prawn linguine was a special and we forgot to ask how much it was, as lobster can be expensive, however, we were totally blown away with not only the taste and presentation, but the value was incredible.

We had a beautiful meal at Sandpipers Restaurant for my partners birthday. The staff were great, the food was fantastic, there was a bit of a wait but it was understandable as the restaurant was completely full - we were lucky to get a table last minute.

Steak seemed like it was frozen and cooked, extremely tough. We told them, they apologised and offer to cook us another one. We declined. No discount off the bill.

Food was good. Service was terrible, no offer to refresh drinks in our 2&1/2 hour visit. Ordered coffee and desert .coffee came pretty quickly after it was ordered and still waiting on desert 20 mins after the coffee was finished. When I said to cancel desert they disappeared and the desert arrived in about 1 minute I repeated that I had waited too long and didn’t want it. They gave us the desert free of charge but the damage had been done . The waitress got hostile when I repeated that that I didn’t want the desert and said it’s here and we have been smashed

They need to review the glass noodle frozen veg side that comes with the pork belly. None of that works especially with apple sauce. Very disappointing

Restaurant was very busy and had to wait a while for our meals however the food didn't disappoint as it was amazing. By far the best meal we have had in the bay. Will definitely return.
