An impressive looking dinning room and and outside back bar. Whilst independently they may work fine, as a whole ... not so much. I don't play the pokies so I can comment on that area. The 'back bar' as a whole is quite comfortable in both hot and cold weather and tapas style bar food that is mostly good. However if you choose to visit on a Geelong game day, expect noise and a lot of it (that said, most pubs in G'town are the same). For me, the biggest let down is the food. They are expensive. Add about an extra 10-15% to what you'd expect in Melbourne. I don't know why. Coz as I have said, it's very hit and miss. I've had a few great meals Any time I've ordered duck or veal its been great. However, there's been more lows than high. $22 for a chicken ceaser salad with under cooked chicken and a hard poached egg. Really?? If I'm willing to hand over $22 for a salad, it better be perfect! Fish dishes are the same. Sometimes ok, but more often than not below par. I 'd suggest they either lower the prices (and therefore the customers expectations) or get the dishes spot on every time. The service has always been polite, helpful and prompt.

The range is vast I recommend checking out their website where you can see a selection of each artists current works. Some of them do amazing landscapes, standouts for me include Amanda Hyatt and Hugh Guthrie. Robert Holcombe does amazing modernist abstract outback and bush landscapes that resemble shapes and shadows . Paul Margoscy does amazing amazing paintings of birds that are so lifelike with the backgrounds out of focus so much so you expect the birds to fly out from the paintings! Yeah they look like photographs that's how realistic they are. I know I banged on about landscapes but the other artists have their own subjects as well such as seascapes, nudes and still lives as well as contemporary art. The art glass is always brilliant to look at and the silver jewellery is very classy yet artistic at the same time. Best of all, sign up to their mailing list to stay up to date with their changing exhibits. Everything is for sale of course and I'm advised art is a good investment but choose wisely. Seaview Gallery has done some leg work for you by curating a stable and reputable body of local artists that capture the essence of the Bellarine lifestyle in all their works. They regularly have exhibition launches with evenings and weekend demonstrations by the artists involved so how nice is this if you have planned a romantic weekend away and slip this event in as well? Although the ownership has changed hands a few times, the gallery has maintained its reputation and always has something beautiful to see. Highly recommended especially if you are in Queenscliff for a visit.
