Blue Smoke on the Bay

Booked a table for 10 to celebrate our son's 18th Birthday- prior to arrival staff were very helpful with the details we wanted for our celebration. Unfortunately some of our party found the main courses did not meet our expectations. My father's steak was overcooked and my 1/2 lobster was tasteless, very dry and meagre ( the waitress did tell us from the off-set that the lobster was not available and king prawns and scallops would be replacing the lobster, which is why I chose it). When the waitress collected our plates she asked if all was ok with our meals and I said that my Lobster was not good at all and that I was expecting King Prawns, I believe she said "oh dear". We certainly would have ordered more drinks and had desserts but the staff seemed very busy ( perhaps too busy).I was expecting some feedback or perhaps concession but none-was forthcoming and the Lobster was charged at full price.In hindsight I should have returned the Lobster but as my father had had the ask for his steak to be replaced I didn't want to make a fuss. This is marketed as a high end restaurant and we have been several times as we live locally but probably not again.

The steaks we had were probably the best we’ve had .. done to perfection . The service was brilliant too , friendly and very helpful. Wish we lived closer to visit again .

Great restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere and lovely steaks

Beautiful restaurant and staff very friendly and helpful. N

Had steak which was really nice. Cooked to perfection

Great food and location, only slight negatives are that the chicken strips were only slightly warm and not hot. Also I would like more beef and veg on the Sunday roast but was very tasty.

The food at Blue Smoke on the Bay was fabulous, We started with a sharer platter which had tastings of jerk chicken, wood smoked salmon, air dried ham and smoked cheese as well hummus, guacamole and a flatbread. It was all cooked perfectly and tasted great. We were glad we went for a taste of everything rather than just pick one starter. We then had the butterflied chicken and sirloin steak. Both were cooked beautifully, the chicken particularly as it was really juicy. The flavouring from the smoke added to the taste. We accompanied the meal with grilled tender stem broccoli, triple cut chips, peppercorn sauce and onion rings and all were cooked really well and tasted fantastic. We skipped the dessert as we'd eaten so much already that we couldn't fit one in!
Overall, the experience was great and the food was brilliant. I don't think I can recommend Blue Smoke on the Bay more highly.

Absolutely fabulous...The whole experience was wonderful from 1st bite to the last.
The 'crew' especially Tania made this a great night for my lovely lady's birthday.
Expensive but worth every last penny

A gem of a restaurant, overlooking the lake with great food and service!

Fantastic staff, welcoming atmosphere , overall amazing food experience. Perfect. Our new favourite!
