Always a great dining experience at the Lagoon. Staff were really friendly and there was delicious food available for everyone in the party no matter their dietary requirements. We will look forward to celebrating special occasions at the Lagoon in the near future.

4 of us have a really great time , however we've ordered two seafood platter for the night and the lobster is disappointing which tooooooo dry for human consumption.
Overall, the sea food platter not only lack of prawns which is usually inexpensive in supermarket, also the oysters are micro tiny small which shockingly for such big restaurant like this. For the price that they have changed us, I think it could done better on the quality of food as well as the quality of each type seafood. Why would I pay restaurant to make cheap seafood when I can buy them cheaper and cook it way better myself

This place is amazing. Stunning location, beautiful food, great service. The full restaurant is great for a special occasion or date and they also do casual dining outside which is really fun also. Been to weddings here which weee both outstanding also. Highly recommend 10/10! The breakfast and seafood share platters are to die for. Only criticism is that its extra pricey.

Great service and the seafood is worth every penny. Enjoyed the seafood platter for 3 between 4 guest & boy were we full after eating it all... could not fault the food or service on the day hope to go back soon again. The only down side is the parking as it was such a nice day there was no parking free near the restaurant as plenty of pple at the beach so had to park on the main street and cut through the park back to it... but that is just minor down side the food n service made up for it
