Reviews of Fisherman’s Wharf Tavern
Colin Prinsloo
Tavern on the water. Awesome venue for lunches with the family. Water level among the yachts on the broadwater. Its not kids friendly due to its location on the water. The venue does have the usual pokies and gaming. Pool table and outside patio area. Massive bar and undercover dining when weather is bad. Wheelchair friendly. Portions are big. Lots of seagulls, please note.

We asked the kitchen to please cook them longer. 5 mins later they came back out no better. The staff also were not friendly or overly helpful when sorting this issue. The steak was still inedible and such a waste...

Worst dining experience ever. The only thing that made each meal somewhat palatable was the the bottle of wine we ordered with dinner. I could have made the kids fettuccine bologniase better with my eyes closed. The seafood basket was a hard pass... it was overcooked and dry. The meals were rushed with no care taken at all. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back. Menu was basic and bland. Sorry g...

You just gotta have seafood in the Gold coast and Fisherman’s Wharf offers wholesome & fresh seafood. The view and beers are equally satisfying. In a nutshell, it’s a great place to have a long weekend lunch or even a long weekday lunch if you can escape from your boss.
