Quarterdeck

Another lovely dining experience at The Quarterdeck. We made a reservation online for three people for lunch on the first Saturday in September. The staff looked after us again and allocated us to one of the tables by the back window. As an aside, it is nicer dining at The Quarterdeck outside of the main tourist season because the restaurant is not as busy so we are not rushing to get through our lunch to clear the table for the next sitting. On that Saturday we enjoyed the relaxed dining. We started with a dozen natural oysters, which were fresh from Wagonga Inlet, in fact from Oysters Farmers Daughter. We partnered those with an order of battered fish tacos that were also quite nice. For mains, all three of us went with the mussels. The mussels were sourced from South Australia and cooked in a delicious broth - I always take the option to add extra sourdough bread to dip into the broth. We finished with coffee and the beignets, which were served with dipping caramel and vanilla ice cream, and a chocolate sundae. Very decadent. I believe that the restaurant was an old boat shed so it sits on stilts above the sand flats and on a rising tide you can hear the water lapping below the floor boards. It had large glass windows on two sides that provided wonderful views of the beautiful Wagonga Inlet. At the end of the meal we watched Soldier Crabs, just below the window, running across the sand. The staff were also happy for people to access the wharf area out the back, so a great way to occupy children while waiting between courses, but best for adults to go with them. The Quarterdeck was a lovely venue to enjoy delicious food as well as to watch the tides change on Wagonga Inlet. I would add that it is best to make a reservation, especially in the busier months

The food, service and the vibe here is amazing! The food was pretty good although the price was a little higher than Sydney CBD. Service was good, they continuously refill our tap water whenever the glass is empty. The attendant also asked us if everything was alright although they were pretty busy. The view was stunning as well especially when come during sunset hour. Worth to come whenever lay over in Narooma.

We walked into this little bar at about 6:30pm on a Friday night, hoping that there would be room for us ( a table of six) and we're pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. And because there were six of us, we were offered a special menu of a variety of types of seafood to try, in about 6 courses I believe? I was a little leery ( being from a small town in Wisconsin/USA - and not having been exposed to seafood much...) But boy were my eyes opened!! The only oysters I had before (in Texas) had the consistency of very viscous SNOT, so I really did not want to try them, but was amazed at what very fresh oysters were like, which was not at all the same! Each course was very different, had a nice presentation and showed off the amazingly varied food items you could get so close to the sea. So I was very happy that we did that, as I had never had such a variety of items before!! The only comment I would have had is that there was a little bit too much time between each course, but I think that was probably because I believe there was only one waitress for the whole restaurant, from what I could see... (And maybe 1 bartender?) It is definitely a little known - but amazing place to go if you ask me!!

Fantastic food, great selection on the menu and a cool venue in an old boat shed. The scallops were the stand out dish. Will be back.

Really good food and value. Get in early though, we were there only a few minutes after 12 and most tables were full

This place was recommended for the view and for our anniversary. It had a relaxed feel overlooking the estuary. When booking we were asked about the occasion which actually meant nothing. The food selection was limited but we enjoyed the local small oysters, wagu steak and mussels. Good but not outstanding. And the sundae for dessert

A fabulous restaurant. Great space, excellent staff and the food was delicious. Highly recommend as the best restaurant in Narooma!! Definitely book ahead. We loved the oysters, scallops, mussels were amazing and dessert delicious. Special mention to Kat our excellent waitress.

Fabulous dining experience with delicious eye catching food, and a wonderful riverside setting. Staff friendly and helpful. Sit inside or out. Plenty of parking. Best to book as can get busy.

Absolutely great. Don't tell anyone. SA deep fried white bait looking west over the inlet. Bliss!! Eclectic but fantastic. We will be back with friends. Tied our boat up on the jetty at the front. What more could you WANT !

Dropped in there for lunch after a short bike ride along the coastal bike tracks. The place was full I got a table in the corner overlooking the deck. The staff were friendly and courteous. The meal was quite nice I had a pulled pork burger and fries which was nice. They specialize in seafood and some of the other patrons dishes looked very nice. The coffee was nice also.

This place has a great view (you are literally on the water here), an amusing Gilligan's island theme, attentive service and ok food. We had French toast and eggs (the FT was ridiculously thick - making it essentially just hot bread in the center) - and both meals were on the small side. The pancakes I saw pass by on their way to another table looked really good and were also a good value. And goodonthem for having free range eggs.

Service with a smile & personality, great fresh produce & stunning view. eclectic ambience

The Quarterdeck is by far my favourite spot for breakfast or a light lunch when I'm out in Narooma. It offers a reasonable range of dishes in a very picturesque location. It sits out over the inlet so has great water views. My personal favourite dishes are the pancakes or the eggs Benedict, but there are plenty of other options, including by the looks some gluten free. Basically, it's reasonable meals in a fantastic location with good service.

Not fine dining but a great location and nice food. A friendly dining experience
