The Beach House Seafood Restaurant

 Newbie   1 review

Fantastic platters, great service, great experience all around. Well worth trying, you are missing out if you don't go. Not alot of fried food on the platters, everything is fresh and lovely, the fruit on the platters is very refreshing when you put a new bit of fish into your mouth you can taste each piece of seafood. Staff are very friendly and helpful, not over bearing like some restaurants. Give this place a go you won't be disappointed.

  Accidentally clicked this as "helpful" and can't undo it. I certainly do not appreciate these advertisement type reviews where the person does not give any personal experience but just an unsubstantiated rave that is clearly from the owner or someone associated with the business.

My husband and I went here a couple of weeks ago and were very disappointed. He really wanted to go there as he has seen the billboard on a few occasions and as he loves seafood as do i thought it would be good to give it a go. We also went with two other friends. We all agreed that the decor was a bit childish and simplistic. We bought one hot and one cold seafood platter to share between the four of us. We were disappointed with both. There was no seasoning or flavour, it was as if they just plonked it on a plate and served it. On the hot platter most of the seafood was deep fried like you would get at a bad fish and chips. The price was a bit steep for food that we all thought you could probably get similar at a fish and chips shop. Will never go back.

Well,
After reading a lot of reviews about this restaurant I have to say respectfully that it is of my opinion that a lot of people in the Chelsea area have a problem with identifying decent food.
My Fianc & I have dined here at least a dozen times & have found the seafood to be outstanding, not only to the eyes but also the pallet. I also upon ordering the seafood platter the 1st time around thought fruit on a seafood platter was a bit new but after trying it I must tell you it was a real nice surprise. How refreshing it was to clean your pallet between each different tasting on the platter was different but to my surprise an absolute pleasure. While some reviews have condemned the Beach House Decor you need to keep in mind this fine restaurant is situated no less than 100 mtrs from the beach so the Decor is totally different to the Lobster cave/oyster bar type eateries but upon stating that I must say while some think it is a bit simplistic or child like I find this place has a really relaxed calming effect upon you once you enter. The only down side to this place I have ever found is you get seated very quickly but after ordering drinks it can take up to 15-20 mins or so to get served, the only thing I find let's this place down is the staff, certainly not the cook or owner.
Sincerely,
Peter McKenzie.

I agree with the unfortunate fellow below.Some months ago we went there and they were so rude to us, as the food that was served up to us wasnt actually cooked. They took offence at us sending it back, we actually had to leave as, the more heated it got, the more racist comments came out. My opinion is to steer clear.

This is the worst restaurant that I have ever come across. We went on a Friday night and many of the courses were not available, but persisting we accepted the recommendation of what was available. Ordering wine was little different, but they eventually found a bottle of what we wanted (nothing out of the ordinary). When the food came there was a "salad" on the plate with watermelon, which unfortunately my partner is allergic to and I don't like. Trying to make things easy, we asked for plates to slide the fish onto and asked for replacement sides without the watermelon. A staff member then came out to us, called my partner a [expletive] liar, told us to get out and then poured the wine over me! I knocked the bottle out of their hand as they threatened me and then they dragged me down the back of the restaurant by the hair, and one of the other patrons had to restrain them. We ended up calling the police.

  What a horrible experience but not at all shocking to hear considering the rude behaviour I have witnessed myself. How dare they put their hands on a customer and think that they will last long in business. Hope you were not seriously hurt in your ordeal.

  Our experience was not as bad but started going the same way, see my comment just posted. We flatly refused to pay teh $8 for water and left, being told never to come back which won't be an issue because we never want to go back there again!

We were travelling around Australia and came across this restaurant in Chelsea Vic and as we love seafood thought we would give this a try. Boy! what a wonderful restaurant this was. The seafood was superb, staff were amazing and the cost was less than what we anticipated. If we decide to go back to Melbourne for another trip we certainly will be visiting this restaurant and we will be recommending this to all we know who will holiday in Melbourne.

From the moment I stepped into the place I knew I'd made a mistake eating here. The blue lighting resembles the lighting they put in public toilets to stop people injecting, however the owner tried to assure me that they were trying to create an aquatic look
.
Fine dining prices with below average quality food and presentation. The seafood had a texture as if it had been recently defrosted. Probably the worst meal Id had in a long time and probably the worst value for money in living memory.
