  We ordered the battered fish of the day with chips and tartare and the battered salt and pepper prawns. Service was excellent, all staff were friendly, swift and knew the menu. Sadly the presentation was lacking being served in those annoying metal fry baskets and the tiny little serve of salad of green leaves in a dipping bowl was unnecessary. Just plate it and it will look a whole lot better. The presentation of the prawns was beautiful and the ginger, chilly, nuts etc was a delicious delight! The batter on both the fish and prawns was way too thick and oily but the fish was fresh and delicious. The prawns were also tasty and fresh but that batter just ruined the flavour. We pulled the batter off and enjoyed them. An option for crumbed would be nice, there was only the battered to choose from on the menu for everything. Atmosphere was noisy due to mouthy patrons but it was clean and well presented.

  Chicken bread is tender and tested good, meat balls are a little bit sour but still good. We are waiting about 30 minutes for our food, and stuff forgot to bring the drinks.

  My friend Mr L. and I went out to lunch last month, and decided to re-visit Suttons Beach Pavilion. We had eaten there in mid June, and found it very relaxing, and with tasty food so we headed north again. It is a fabulous place to just sit and have a drink, with views over to Moreton Island. But we were there for lunch, so I went for the crispy squid salad ($18) for small size, while Mr L. chose the chicken schnitzel ($23) and a side of buttered greens ($8). My squid was freshly tumbled out of the freezer I would say, and seemed to have a few stray baby octopi in the mix. It was an okay dish, but not quite hot enough (temperature-wise) or interesting enough to hold my attention. It definitely needed a spicy coating to give it some oomph. I also had beer-battered onion rings ($6), which were crunchy and tasty, though I would have liked a bit more actual onion in them. There was a lot of batter, my friends.He drank green tea while I had a glass of Jansz ($12). I finished off with a chocolate mousse ($14), which sadly I regretted as not worth the calories. The texture and flavour just werent right for me. I like them smooth and very dark, which this was not. Once again, it was okay but nothing stunning. Service was not particularly warm or friendly this time, unlike our previous visit. We sat at the front of the outdoor area so we had great views, which lifted our experience somewhat. Oh, and the green beans were fabulous buttery and smoky and crunchy. Probably the best part of the meal. On our previous visit, we had had sweet potato fries ($13) which still show on the bar menu; these were just so delicious and moreish. Yep they were worth the calories.All in all, not as good as we remembered this time. This place is multi-faceted though: they do functions, and there is a caf, and a fish and chippery, and an ice cream bar, and a bar upstairs, all in a wonderful Art Deco building (the old bathers pavilion from 1937). And you are right on the water, which is strangely an unusual thing in the Brisbane area.Verdict: worth a look, and a drink, and maybe a snack or two at the bar. And on a good day, the meals and service are just fine. sherryspickings.blogspot.com
