Reviews
Booked a table online for lunch. We were seated by the window and got to enjoy the lovely view. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Food was beautifully presented. The fish dishes tasted very fresh. The scallops were out of this world. Lots of choice on the menu. Highly recommend.
The prices were high, so we expected great food and great service.nnThe location and scenery was beautiful. It’s a nice atmosphere to eat in. However there were a few flies buzzing around that I had to bat away from my meal.nnThe menu I got was a bit sticky and had visible food residue on it. The waiter was friendly enough but did not come back to our table except to pick up the plates at the end. Normally in a nice restaurant someone comes by halfway through the meal to check if everything is going okay and if you need anything, and to refill your water if it has run out. Perhaps I am being too fussy but that is the kind of service I would expect for these prices. I would understand if the restaurant was busy, but it wasn’t.nnUnfortunately the food was mediocre. The bacon in my burger was rock hard at the edges, and my dad said his chicken had lots of gristle. My big blue burger was not anything to write home about. I have had many, many different burgers and have not paid anywhere near the $30 for the burger and fries here.nWe ordered some scallops, remembering some delicious ones we had at a fancy restaurant in Hamner springs for a slightly lower price. I was thoroughly disappointed, as they were mediocre just like my burger.nnI wouldn’t come here again.
We dined here during the height of the summer season while entertaining visiting friends and unfortunately did not enjoy the experience.nnOur booking was for dinner at 7:30pm, which was the latest available seating, and we were allocated a strict 1 hour 45 minute dining window. Almost immediately after being seated, the waitress asked if we were ready to order, then returned again about five minutes later to ask the same. We ordered drinks and requested another 15 minutes to look over the menu.nnEntrées arrived quickly within around 10 minutes, but the mains were delivered almost immediately afterwards with no pause between courses. It felt very rushed, as though the kitchen was closing and meals needed to be pushed out quickly, which took away from what should have been a relaxed evening.nnUnfortunately, the food itself was also underwhelming. The pork belly gyros salad was chewy and rubbery, with no crispiness to the pork belly at all. The classic fish burgers were small, fairly average, and served on undersized plates. The market fish salmon with Vietnamese salad was also quite ordinary and lacked flavour.nnIt’s disappointing, as the venue is right on the beach and has so much potential. Given the rushed service and very average food, we would be unlikely to recommend this restaurant or bring out-of-town guests here again.
We were really looking forward to dining at BLUEBIYOU given its beautiful beachfront setting, but unfortunately our experience didn’t match the location or the price point.nnWhen we were seated, there were dirty napkins under the table, which wasn’t a great first impression. The menus were also quite worn and sticky, which added to the feeling that attention to detail was lacking.nnOur waitress was pleasant, but we weren’t given any updates about the menu or dishes, and there were no check-ins during the meal to ensure everything was okay. The same happened when we were paying — no questions about how our experience was.nnUnfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. The eye fillet steak was surprisingly tough, the pork was inedible, and the fish and chips were mediocre with a limp side salad. Considering the premium pricing, we expected much better quality.nnAfter reading some of the previous reviews, it seems we’re not the only ones who have noticed these issues, and it’s disappointing that they still haven’t been addressed.nnBLUEBIYOU has an incredible setting, but the overall experience just doesn’t live up to it. With some genuine attention to detail and improvements to both service and food quality, it could be so much better. As with others we won't be back.
First visit for us, recommended to us and what a great recommendation. Went the seafood route for lunch and it was excellent. The girls were friendly, welcoming and informative. Guys running the bar just as good. Don't deny yourself, give it a nudge.
