Great service but can be a little slow on Friday nights but worth the wait. Make sure you bring cash as they don't take credit cards however there is an ATM inside.

A Hidden gem in Lugarno, is the Lugarno seafood restaurant. I suspect it is a local secret…read more The restaurant sits at the end of forest rd, overlooking serene George's river. On a Saturday, the place is filled with ladies enjoying high tea. Several family groups like ours, enjoy an intimate and attentive service. The atmosphere is slightly old school, no fuss and the food is pleasing all around. There is a full bar and wall full of wines, The oldies love that they can find traditional no fuss steak and seafood dishes, the kids can enjoy satisfying kids menu ( choices of calamari, nuggets, schnitzel) For diners new to the restaurant like me, I liked that the menu consists of some new twists to old favourites. Mackerels and other gorgeous seafood, and luscious crayfish. Unfortunately we didn't try dessert but I feel that we might be back the next time we are looking for a serene water view local restaurant that is formal enough to impress but relaxed enough to not have to bling myself head to toe

I highly recommend having your next function here. FYI they honestly have the best creme brulee, there deserts are made in house.

Located down a lane within the Kirrawee industrial area, this place is worth a visit. They sell…read morefresh, shucked oysters, fresh cooked prawns, fresh mussels & a large range of frozen fish, bagged prawns, lobster tails, crab meat, prawn cutlets, squid tubes & more. The range changes regularly & has always been fresh tasting. You can park in the lane if there aren't any delivery trucks, or on Waratah St. The owner is passionate & friendly, but doesnt stop talking up everything he sells. Be aware, even if you are chatting to your friend, or vaguely point at something in the fridge, the owner will be bagging & weighing the produce with the assuption you will buy it- even when you never asked for it at all! I personally hate this sales tactic & the presumption that a private conversation means I asked to purchase it! If you see him getting things out of the freezer, don't assume he is bagging it up for someone else, he is going to add it to your bill! Despite this annoyance, I go there in particular for the fresh oysters & prawns which are great value. The frozen produce is a similar price to other retailers. Note: Its cash only, no cards.

Stepping into Illawong Chinese is not like stepping into your regular local restaurant. For…read morestarters, the floor space is much bigger than you would expect. I love not having to be squished up in a corner where you can hear everyone's conversation from other tables or the shouting from the kitchens. The other good thing is I've never been in when the restaurant has been at full capacity, and so have never had to wait for food when the kitchen is under pressure. They offer take-away and have a full bar when you first walk in. Food is pretty good quality and I haven't had anything horrible from there in many years but on the other hand, there are no notable dishes from memory.

Disclaimer: I am Chinese so I know what good Chinese food is…read more Surprisingly for a Chinese restaurant in Illawong this place has much better Chinese food than most places in the heart of Hurstville. The ingredients used are good quality and the food is tasty and fresh. Hidden and underrated gem. Give this place a go!

Knowing we were driving past here and hadn't had lunch, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to…read moretry Smiths. There were quite a few people lined up so my expectations were high. I opted for the flathead and chips $10 with chicken salt. Nice but not the best fish and chips I've ever had. I felt like the fish was quite over cooked. My partner opted for the crumbed perch again the serve was huge and the fish was nice for $8.80 it was a bargain. I also couldn't say no to the pacific oysters that were massive and only $1.50 each!! They were nice as well but nothing to write home about. All up I would say super cheap and decent fish and chips with generous serving sizes.

The seafood here is top notch quality, the prices are reasonable, and the chips are heavenly!read more

Food entrees were good, but mains were disappointing. Service is friendly, though they need to upgrade their POS system, as they can't split bills yet - but they were kind enough to split ours through a complicated mechanism that took 15 minutes. It's a beautiful location (even though difficult to get to), quiet, and away from the Prices Hwy, despite that being its address. I've only been here twice, so they may upgrade their POS soon but it'll always have a nice outlook. See if you can park somewhere else and walk - might be easier.
