What was most concerning was seeing a staff member wearing an upside-down Australian flag on the back of their shirt during the Reconciliation Day long weekend. I found this extremely offensive, inappropriate, and disrespectful given the significance of the occasion. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and reflected poorly on the business. Customers should be able to enjoy a meal without being confronted by political or protest messaging from staff. Good food doesn't excuse rude service or offensive behaviour from staff. Based on this experience, I won't be returning and cannot recommend this business to others.

With limited options in Batemans Bay, you could do a lot worse than to end up at The Starfish Deli…read more The location undeniably can't be beat, the service is sweet and efficient, and you won't be short on meal options, even if you're dealing with a food allergy/aversion. The food was... fine. I think we would have done much better by sticking to seafood (the rock oysters and shared fish platter looked stunning) instead of venturing into some more gourmet choices further down the menu. The wood-fired margarita pizza was more thick cheese-bready than light, fluffy and blackened-blistered, so I'd avoid pizza completely and instead go for something like the anitpasto platter, which was well stocked and delicious. While The Starfish might not satisfy your epicurean longings, it'll certainly fill you up in that "cheap 'n' cheerful" way that is sure tough not to like.
