Food is good, stuff were nice, but better not to go by yourself, because they expect you to grab cutlery and napkins by yourself, which I couldn’t since the seagulls stared at my food all the time.I ended up acting like I was an angry customer by yelling excuse me to a waiter who was far from me so I can get cutlery and eat like a proper human. And glad I always have some napkins in my hand bag.

An awesome spot on a beautiful day. The staff were very obliging right from the booking phone call the week before. The food was delicious, reasonably priced and delivered in a timely manner when they were so busy. Very pleasant staff. Thank you so much.

Granted it was very busy but we waited over an hour for a pizza, chips and Salad. The food was overpriced for what we received, but... the outside seating and happy family and dog friendly atmosphere made up for it.

Great pub-style restaurant with beautiful views over the water that you can enjoy when the weather is good... if the weather is not so good they have some awnings that protect you from the wind and rain and only slightly spoil the view... but it's better to enjoy the food without the wind blowing your hair into your face or rain watering down your drinks.The food is flavorful and good portion sizes, especially the Crispy Cauliflower with Sriracha Mayo...it was large and scrumptious and too good to even think about stopping to take a photo!We also really enjoyed the Chicken and Feta stack which provided magnificent taste explosions with every bite of grilled chicken, feta and beetroot relish!The Olives and garlic pizza board added a lovely familiar flavor and the Karaage chicken finished off our tasting expedition with the perfect crunch and Asian tang. I will be dreaming of imitating the Crispy Cauliflower for years to come and insist on another visit when in the area again.

Great service! Quick, friendly and top class food. I got the salt and pepper squid, one of the best I’ve had ever. Nice chilled cider on tap, so all the ticks for me.Breath taking views matched with a really relaxed atmosphere and spacious garden. Highlights apart from the obvious for me was being dog friendly and having staff that wanted to say hello to him and give him rubs haha. Can’t wait to go back.

Parua Bay Tavern is a great spot for a cold one and a nice meal with seating both inside and outside over looking the water and the boats zooming around. Awesome to relax in the sunshine and watch the day disappear. Pool table to knock afew balls around. Parking on both sides of the road. Well worth stopping in after a day at the beach.
