I've enjoyed every meal in Noosa but Sails was the best. Service was friendly and although a little noisy great ambiance, with good views of the beach. Started with the fig salad, which was fantastic. The nutty bread that came with it was surprisingly impossible not to eat and all the flavors came together well. Had a sand crab as my main. Never had one before so not sure what to compare with but I was really impressed how flavorful it was, had a charred grill taste as well as buttery. Plentiful meat. The accompanying greens were also nice, with apple and walnuts giving it some layers. Overall, truly enjoyed this meal. read more

Okay let's get this out in the open...the view, it's amazing! You are right on the beach. Now for the rest: The location: Parking is a nightmare in the area...and you require a reservation or you wont get in. The Food: It was 'eh' at best but was priced like it had a Michelin star... a bit ridiculous. We had a starter a tempura something, which was good because let's be honest add tempura and you can't go wrong. For mains we had a seafood pasta (I'll put up a picture too) it looks amazing but the pasta was overcooked and ended up congealing into one pasta lump, the seafood was okay but not really cooked well, or rather way over cooked. They even gave me a mussel that didn't open, so you couldn't eat it, I'm paying for protein but I couldn't even eat it?!?! Anyway I'd say, while the view is stunning you would do well to go somewhere with better food and just walk on the beach for the view. read more

Sails Restaurant Noosa - Seafood Pasta...looks great, tastes meh and NOT worth the exorbitant cost...I wish I could get a refund. - Seafood Near Me - Noosa Heads, QLD

Hands down one of the best meals we had in Noosa. Being so man options around, it's hard to tell what will deliver etc, but Sails delivered on every front. Amazing Rumba cocktail bar downstairs for a pre-drink. Super friendly service, fantastic menu, and every single item from the bread to the barramundi was superb. We loved it. It is pricey though, but deservedly so. read more

To get the party started we were given the large table closest to the waterfront, so we were very lucky. The service was attentive and professional. Adhering to the ladies served first then the males was refreshing to see and ensued that great service would continue through the night. On the food side all dishes around the table were given high praise. Everything from perfectly cooked medium rare eye fillet to melt in your mouth trout. The crab cake entree was a belter too, with a great textural crunch outer and well seasoned crab with the additional of a finely shredded lettuce 'vinegarised' dressing. The service was impeccable right the way through the evening with explanations provided when ordering and a general friendly atmosphere. Just a couple of negatives that may assist you in making a booking. Firstly, we called 5-6 times at varying times to make a booking with no answer and no call back. Additionally, they did not respond to any emails sent. Secondly, Sails continues this weird fashion of not allowing BYO wine because they are 'high end'. Strangely though in the states we visited Michelin star restaurants that allowed us to bring in a cheeky bottle of Camus, Alpha etc. I understand the Australian counterparts enjoy ripping us a new one, but jeez it hurts when you have to pay 120%+ markup on the same bottle I had to leave in the car. Furthermore, the first four wines I wanted to purchase were not on the menu, so the 600 wine list will cater to a small portion of the usual suspects. Lastly, watch out for the $9 per roll charge which is madness. Excluding some of the cons above the night was very enjoyable and will provide either a group or couple a great meal.

OMG!!! How rude r the staff. I arrived after booking over a month ago. I advised on the booking that it was a special occasion for my daughter's 18th and I would like a sea view. This is a Tuesday afternoon before school holidays. I booked for 2.15pm so the main lunch crowd should have finished. I arrived at the restaurant to find it was packed with 80+ loud women seated on large tables taking up over 90%. We were seated far away from the sea view. We couldn't hear ourselves think let alone talk. I asked why the restaurant hadn't called me to advise. I could have done lunch on the Monday or Wednesday. They gave me a weak excuse. Then when I complained they told me they didn't know that a large group of women had booked. When I pointed out that we were exposed to the loudness of the group booking we received no consideration. Then they abused me when their point of sale machine didn't work. Then they abused me saying I had made their staff cry even though the staff member was setting the table behind them. Then they abused me saying they were calling the police. Even though they hadn't advised that there was a time restriction and all I had asked for was 1/2 hour to finish my wine. This is the most rudest restaurant I've ever been too in the entire world. The food was ordinary, the service was very ordinary I had to wave at staff to get their attention, and the management extremely rude and obnoxious. For someone who has been dining at Noosa since 1983 I'm appalled that this high and mighty attitude from today's restaurant staff is considered appropriate. Don't ever go there! U will be very disappointed. read more

This was - hands down - the best restaurant we went to during our time in Noosa and rivals even some of the best restaurants in Sydney. A must-try if you are in the area. Highlights: - The service is IMPECCABLE. Our server didn't let us over order, attended to our every need and picked out an amazing wine for us. - The ambiance is wonderful - right on the beach. See if they can seat you at one of the beachfront tables. - Fabulous wine list - Amazing food. Lows: - None really except for the overwhelmingly delicious menu. Perhaps too many amazing things to choose from?? Tip: Make a booking and must try the Smoked Salmon Butter. read more

Before dinner drink at Rumba. Sandcrab lasagne to start with ocean trout butter on toast Yummo. Service was a tad off either non existent or all over you. And just because you have been waiting and looking impatient, filling my water glass and saying " your food is on its way" doesn't help. Main was scallop and pork tad boring, when it finally arrived was tastey but given sauce on it, it would be. Rest of meals were ok (one good,two average). Genuinely disappointed usual very good, maybe because it was a sunday. Service slow, i suspect kitchen not wait staff. Then the bill was a disaster, charged for wrong wine, will they gave wrong wine and charged ne for it so refinded then charged me for someone elses wine do that had to be voided out. Then to make it worse the delay meant we missed massimo so not all happy. read more

Dined here yesterday as a group of 6 people for a business lunch. The food was superb however I wasn't overly impressed with the service which lost a star for me. The staff were a little rude at times, service was slow also. The place was busy but there is no excuse for rudeness. The food however was astounding I ordered the prawns as an entree, the pasta as a main and churros for dessert! No complaints for the food at all! The pasta was a delightful surprise nothing like I expected and absolutely delicious! read more

Love, love, love Sails for its incredible position on Noosa Main Beach. The Wow factor is self evident. However I have a big BUT. The menu has seen some changes since our visit last year. Thats a good thing but I plead with the Chef to use other herbs than coriander as it seems to predominate the menu . It find its way into nearly every offering and as i am allergic to it , it is extremely restrictive of what I can choose. A prime example here is the tantalisingly tempting Entree of Soft shell Mud crab...but it is marinated in coriander infused oil so not for me and I know that I am not alone on this coriander issue. Unfortunately Noosa chefs seem besotted with the herb. It is laced through every Noosa restaurant menu. What is wrong with using Thai Royal Basil or mint for an asian twist? Further more Coriander is such a dominant strong flavoured herb that it usually over powers the subtle flavours of something as delicate as seafood anyway. That was also the opinion of my husband of his meal. Thankfully , I was able to have the coriander free Duck Arrancini Risotto balls for entree and the King George whiting as a Mains. My husband had the Soft shell crab and the Pancetta wrapped Bug tails and was very happy. The meal was very good , the bottle of French Sancerre wine was delicious and the views spectacular. I just hope that after ten years of coming to Noosa and to Sails, that for next years visit, coriander will have finally ,finally 'moved on'. I would have awarded four stars but due to the excessive use of coriander, and the fact that it removed for me so much choice , I can only offer 3 stars. read more

What an amazing view! Friendly attentive service, first class feel with relaxed dress code to allow for walk-ins off the beach. The cocktails are amazing and match the scenery. The food is second to none! The quality is far above the price in my honest opinion. We had all three courses and were very happy with the range of flavours on offer. This restaurant is worth the trip from Brisbane alone. Can't wait to come back! read more

Over the past 6 years we have been three or four times to Sails and we were consistently happy with the quality of the food, wine and service. Sails still occupies the most beautiful location at Noosa Main Beach. The restaurant partially opens onto the beach so that you can dine under the stars. The atmosphere is very relaxed with friendly unpretentious staff and quality service. The menu is a nice mix of classic dishes and some interesting (often fusion) combinations. I think I always have fish and have never been disappointed. Toothfish with miso broth and burnt orange, Moreton Bay Bugs wrapped in Pancetta, Mooloolaba Prawns and excellent Barramundi. The wine list also has an eclectic mix of current trends and interesting European wines (mainly France and Spain). You can always find a nice drop for an appropriate price. Still my favourite restaurant in Noosa. Go check it out. read more

Excellent location and probably the finest dining experience to be had in Noosa. They certainly have the best wine list and cellar that you will find. The food was exemplary and the restaurant has a lovely feel to it. The perfect place for a romantic dinner with your significant other. read more
