    Waves on the Beach, The Garlic bread, is the best around, follow it up with the spicy calamari, and a main of your choice, and you will leave with taste buds been thrilled and stomach full. As a well know Melbourne icon says ' do yourself a favour' and dine here.

    Couldn't ask for a better location. Booked early and requested a seat outside on the deck. Beautiful weather meant it was the right choice, overlooking the beach. I ordered the vegan fish and chips, was eager to try these and didn't disappoint. Food was fresh and well presented. My colleagues also enjoyed their various mains. We shared a lovely bottle of Prosecco, which wasn't overpriced. Waitresses were lovely but we did have find someone to take our food order (we ordered drinks immediately). Right near Christmas so they were busy. We did have trouble parking so arrive early to find a spot!

    Beautiful selection of gorgeous food. Service was great as it was busy. Awesome view. Maybe beach goers should have to get dressed before entering though!
