I was cheering my partner up and went to twilight bowls. The meal was fresh, considered, just plain blinking yummy yummy and kind of smart. The advertising says I house and fresh and I believe them. We had the Thai beef salad, the dressing was...superb and the beef tangy and authentic. The fresh barracuda was lovely, with yummy salad. The dessert whisky bread pudding. The bar staff didn't falter when we accompanied it with a request for long Island iced tea. A surprise and a treat. I left my camera at home but the pictures herein show enough.More

We haven't been here for at least a year, and we were pleasantly surprised. The food 10/10 there was 5 of us not one of us had a bad meal. They even had a meal deal of a bucket of Australian prawns and 4 drinks....The cocktails were delicious and the staff very pleasant, the director speaks to everyone to make sure all is good. We had a great night and we will be back soon.More

Spent almost $200 on meals , the chops and ribs were dry. The chips in the kids meal were still half frozen. The cheese on the pizza was burnt, the creamy garlic prawn topping on the chicken was a cold blob. Never will we eat...there again.More

We had an enjoyable dinner with family and it was great to not have to worry about driving home after a few drinks! The waiter was prompt and provided excellent service - he was quite entertaining and made us laugh too which always makes for...a great experience. A lovely club and the bistro has been done up really nicely too. Everyone was satisfied with their meals :)More

The old club is getting a makeover and the results are very evident in the bar/bistro. The atmosphere is modern eatery and the menu is very broad. There is a weekly lunch menu plus an interesting bistro menu. Service is prompt and the food tasty...plus well presented. Prices are fair and reasonable. We were there at lunchtime on Tuesday and the sizeable dining area had a good sized crowd. This place will give several local eateries a run for their money as word gets around. Staff were friendly and attentive.More

Do yourself a favour! Service was absolutely fantastic from the Californian bar man. Honestly some of the best service I’ve had in Australia. Above and beyond. He made every person in our group feel special. The menu was great, I could easily eat there for...a couple weeks and pick something different every night. 10 people ordered and all the food came out within minutes of each other. My meal was absolutely delicious and the portion size was great. Everybody else was really happy with their meals and all of the adults commented on how impressed they were with the restaurant. They said they will all definitely be back. Unfortunately I won’t be back for quite some time because I live in QLD, but I wish they would come and take over Mooloolaba Surf Club!More

We went to the restaurant on our last night staying in Swansea. We were not expecting too much but WOW, we absolutely loved it. The club itself was clean, modern and spacious but the food was amazing. With hubby being a chef we were surprised...at the different choices on the menu (not the normal 'club food' menu) and the taste with all of our meals including the kids cheese burger were all soooo good. Thank you for making our last night such a welcoming surprise. We only wish we were staying another night so we could come back!!More

Hidden in the back streets of Swansea, this club is undergoing a transformation and a new al a carte restaurant will open soon. Thursday night trivia night is a must.

I came here when I was with my cousin on 18 January 2020 and it is the best buffet I have ever been to The lines were long to get into the place. We took the 19:30 sitting for dinner if anybody was wondering. We...eventually sit down and I get up to get my first plate for food and I instantly notice that they have got plates everywhere and they are hot out of the dishwasher which is nice. Then I go for my first plate of oysters. OMG. They are the creamiest oysters that I have ever had in my entire life. Once I get up and go for more they are all gone. and I carry on through the night I ended up having 54 oysters in total. I get up for desert and the chocolate mousse is to die for. I put one spoonful in to my mouth and it was easily the best chocolate mousse in Swansea. If you are ever along the (A43) Old Pacific Highway near Swansea and your looking for a feed I would highly recommend this place to families and friends who want a easy meal out or if you are along that stretch of road and its lunch or dinner stop in and give these people loveMore
