"Went there on Saturday it was busy, full inside and out. The service was excellent, personal and they didn't miss a beat. We've eaten here numerous times and the experience has always been first rate. The scotch fillet was amazing as was the salmon."

"Have dined here many times but seems to have gone downhill. Service was really terrible last time we went and we didn't enjoy the dining experience at all. Unlikely to go back again." more reviews

Went there on Saturday it was busy, full inside and out. The service was excellent, personal and they didn't miss a beat.

We've eaten here numerous times and the experience has always been first rate.

The scotch fillet was amazing as was the salmon. (Fantastic - August, 2009)

Have dined here many times but seems to have gone downhill. Service was really terrible last time we went and we didn't enjoy the dining experience at all. Unlikely to go back again. (p8888 - August, 2009)

Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10

I just love this restaurant and eat there regularly for breakfasts and lunches. Besides delicious food and presentation, the view back to Dee Why beach is spectacular. The tables and chairs are arranged in such a way that you are not listening in to other conversations and there is space between the chairs so you can move freely. Highly recommended. (See my reviews (4) - January, 2009)

Great food and service, even though it was very busy being Fathers Day the staff didn't miss a thing (very attentative), nice view of the beach from our table by the window, lovely, will definately be back. (Molly T - September, 2008)

Overall 8.8 - Food 10, Ambience 7, Value 9, Service 9

A very enjoyable experience, the food was excellent the best seafood marinara I have ever had. The only suggestion for the restaurant would be to put couple tables away from the large group tables as it was a little noisy but apart from that the service was fantastic. (September, 2008)

Overall 9.5 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 10

First class - well done Sea la vie. We'll be back and we'll tell our friends. (Ice - August, 2008)

Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10

Perfect Food, Excellent Service, lovely location and atmosphere, great value for money. I am absolutely craving the lamb and cannot wait to go back again and again! For those looking for an incredible dining experience, and food to die for, look no further. (Natalie W - See my reviews (6) - August, 2008)
