Perfect setting with ocean views.
Outdoor seating was great but very busy on the weekend.
Breakfast burger was tasty but chips would have been a better side dish than 1 hash brown.
Efficient service.
Meal brought out quickly.
Nice meals...
Shame breakfast only available til 12pm.
But all about the location

We visited Growlers on the weekend to take some out of town family. The place is really cool and beachy and meets the criteria for a great holiday makers spot. Food was really good, though a little overpriced. Our only problem was that we waited about an hour and a half for our food and as we waited we noticed not many other tables had any food on them either. We acknowledge it was super busy, but I would suspect they are super busy most weekends in the warmer months. Perhaps they were short staffed this particular day.... Overall, a good place for food and drinks, but possibly be prepared for a wait.

Approximate cost: $25

The service here was fantastic. The waiters were very friendly. My toddler had a babycino which came with marshmallows; and they brought a marshmallow each for my older kids so they didn't feel left out.
Food was good, but I probably would return for just drinks.
Lovely view.

Took me about 20 minutes to pick what to eat when we went, It's honestly a very limited menu, Hubby ordered the risotto as it was pasta night so it cost $22, and I ordered the scotch fillet with mussels, asparagus (which they replaced with Broccolini without telling me) and garlic prawns. The Risotto was absolutely amazing, I've never been a fan but this was delicious, it was rich with a hint of spiciness, and came with a complementary glass of wine or beer (Note that you only have about 2 of each to choose from, we chose the Shiraz, which complimented the risotto perfectly) The scotch fillet, was the best steak I've ever had, It was about an inch and a half in thickness, and cooked perfectly through (well done) the prawns were so fresh, and delicious, The mussels were buttery and perfect (they put 6 on the plate but only five of the shells actually had a mussel in it) Drinks are expensive, and they don't have the price of the drinks on the menu, was a bit surprised when we ordered a corona and a cosmopolitan, and the bill came to $21. Great experience though, can't wait to come back.

I had the ricotta, spinach conelloni with basil pesto. It was brilliant. Other people with me had the kangaroo and loved it. Some of our friends had the oysters and thought they were fantastic. Beautiful view being here at Torquay. Good place to take family or for a romantic dinner for two. Great vegetarian options and gluten free options. Elegance here which is nice.

A group of girlfriends and i dined here a few weeks ago, we went mid week.
look the food was lovely but the service was very disappointing. we waited for 20 min before we called the waitress over so we could order a drink, it took at least an hour to receive our meals, then another long wait to get the waitress to take our dessert menu. considering there was only 3 tables of 4 on this evening i wonder how they cope through summer! also there were no staff to be seen when we went to pay with our bill, hopefully they got there money.
