Sweetwater Bistro is an absolute gem. Climb up the stairs to this charming restaurant that is by far the best eating experience you will have on the Sunshine Coast. Brigitta and Andrew (the owners) have perfected the art of running a first class establishment. From the moment you enter this inviting room you are in for a treat. My husband... More

My husband and I were celebrating with a night away to the Sunshine coast. This restaurant was recommended to us by the host at the B&B where we stayed. The food here could not have been better. Everything was cooked to perfection. We shared the teriyaki beef skewers to start, and the beef melted in the mouth. My husband got... More

My husband and I shared a lovely Romantic meal at Sweet Water Bistro on a recent weekend getaway to the Sunshine Coast. One doesn't expect a restaurant experience of this quality in a small, out of the way community but it was absolutely terrific in every way and certainly met or even exceeded our expectations. Sweet Water Bistro is easily... More

My husband took me here for my birthday and it lived up to all the reviews. It is the best meal we've had on the coast. Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious; service was warm and friendly; the dining room is comfortable and the art work local and interesting. Perhaps the food was served slightly quickly but one can hardly... More

Anthing you choose on this wonderful menu will not disapoint. My favourite is always the risotto and fresh snapper. Brigetta and Andrew are the best hosts ever!

We brought our group of staff and spouses to dinner for our annual Christmas get together. As one person was a 'raw' food only we warned the staff ahead of time. They had an excellent salad prepared as well as a entree just for her. The service was very good. The duck special was incredibly good; probably the best duck... More

We eat here about 3 or 4 times per year. Pride of ownership shows throughout. The food is uniformly excellent and the service is consistently high and very personal. You leave feeling as if you've been treated like a VIP.

We were a party of six on Friday night and while the restaurant was quite busy, the serving staff were wonderfully attentive, always topping up water glasses, clearing plates, etc. but never being in our faces or making us feel rushed. Our meals were superb - all us felt our individual orders were perfect and the presentation was great. Anytime... More
