  Recently dined at Yellowfin Seafood & Grill earlier in the week. I had a voucher via Groupon for their Seafood Platter for Two (was wanting to surprise my partner with something special).As mentioned below by someone else who has reviewed them, the place is incredibly busy and our order appeared to have been overlooked as well – whether it was a docket issue or not, I’m not sure.That said, there were several new staff on shift, and all of the wait staff were very friendly, helpful, attentive and we were offered drink/s on the house when they realized we still hadn’t received our meal. The attention they gave us though made up for a few hunger pains… and the size of the seafood platter itself is incredible (we literally could not finish it!!)We really enjoyed the meal – the oysters were very fresh, the scallops cooked to perfection! The atmosphere in the restaurant itself was very ambient, the mural on the wall was rather funky and intriguing too (an underwater scene).Overall, we both enjoyed the experience, the meal, and left there feeling rather full and satisfied. EDIT: Recently discovered that sand crab was missing from the platter. Apparently, we’re in low shortage here in Brisbane (but we’re not advised of this upon ordering/redeeming coupons).Whilst I understand that they replaced sand crab with ‘spanner’ crab (after sending through a message inquiring about the missing crab) – it was via a ‘loaded’ salad taco style shell (I HATE anything loaded unless it’s a baked potato so I looked at that and dismissed it just as quickly… not knowing that was our ‘crab’ – so I can’t comment on the taste etc).I have been in communication with the restaurant since, whilst they’ve been super polite in their responses, I kind of feel like they’re hiding behind the ‘new restaurant/new staff’ excuse… I have worked in hospitality before… I know mistakes can be made (I even made some myself), but so many in one night isn’t usual.I understand it was a rather busy night – especially for new staff. I’d have liked to have give them a higher rating, but it’s a 3 from me… I still enjoyed the meal, the staff were attentive, friendly, but too many mistakes to overlook (and this wouldn’t be an honest review if I didn’t base it on my own personal experience).I have hope that things will improve, and they’ll do a LOT better once they find feet… it’s rather hard starting out new, so I’ll give leniency based on that.

  This place is absolutely busy and that we didnt get our order 50 minutes later , other people who came after us received their meals first , really not fair at all!

  Had dinner with my hubby at Yellowfin tonight. The oysters & scollops are fresh and yummy! I think the salmon is one of the bests in Brisbane~ The eye fillet is nice and juicy as well. But the watermelon mocktail we had was quite normal….. feels like watermelon + soda…..thats it….. Overall, quite nice place!

  We went there for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. The seafood platter for 2 was very generous with a good selection of seafood. Moreton bay bugs, sand crab, scallops, oysters, chilled king prawns, smoked salmon, clams, prawn skewers, beer battered barramundi, calamari, salad, chips & dipping saucesHighly recommend.

  No better venue for fresh Seafood in South Bank, the Hervey Bay Scallops were HUGE and cooked to tender perfection, the prawns fresh and full of flavour. Topped off our visit with a couple cocktails, big assortment, all seem to pair really well with the menu. Will absolutely be back again – soon!
