Unfortunately i am only able to review the experience of having booked online and received their pippies by the bay branded email confirmation of my booking, and being turned away at the restaurant with their reason being that it’s not on their system (despite the email confirmation) and because they were short staffed. i strongly recommend calling them to confirm your booking verbally in advance so you don’t end up rushing about trying to find lunch for your party during peak season when most restaurants are busy or kitchens are starting to close!

Food is averagely good but the serving speed is really concerning us - waited 30 mins for the main courses after entrée finishing and no waiters checking on the table. We were sitting outside but there’s no reason for the FOH not checking the customers out there. Besides, experience was relatively good and would recommend if the FOH team could get more professional training.

Lunch 20/11/21!
Young friendly staff were so kind and lovely! They were so good with their Covid compliance which makes me feel really good about supporting them and know they are doing the right thing for the region and all their patrons!
The seafood was some of the best I have ever had and the atmosphere was great too! Thanks to the waitress who suggested a lovely bottle of sav which really made for a great lunch.
The spring rolls weren’t anything special but everything else was delicious!
- Pippies Fish Platter
- Scallops wrapped in prosciutto
- Oysters Kilpatrick
- Vegetarian Spring

WOW This restaurant was beyond my expectations. The atmosphere is fresh clean and modern with indoor and out door seating. The freindly staff were very professional and on point with their service. The scenery looking out over the ocean breathtaking and the food OMG amazing flavours that just melted with every bite. A great menu variety and price range is very reasonable.
Bookings are best in advance as Pippies is a very popular restaurant. I will definitely be returning again and I have to say a true new favourite 10/10. Do yourself a favour and indulge in a great dinning experience at Pippies

Reading other reviews I thought the hate on the service was a bit over the top. But having eaten here I would say the service staff can really rub you the wrong way.
They’re not attentive to needs; holding up tables by not bringing our share plates soon after food arrives or checking on table water, avoiding your eye, and badly prioritising tasks.
The food is actually okay; a little on the expensive side but ultimately not satisfying. Some restaurants can get away with bad service by having exceptional food. Unfortunately this isn’t one of those places.

Mostly amazing : entree of cheese & wine garlic pizza was tasty (and gluten free), rib eye steak was delicious and dessert reminded my husband of childhood but the citrus/basil/parmesan crayfish risotto I took a chance on, believing that the chef did this combination for a reason but was met with so much white onion and contrasting flavours. Not great.
Wine was delicious, service delightful and setting was nice too.

We ordered 4 dishes. The seafood platter was small for almost $50, but I don't mind paying for a tasty meal. Problem was the majority of the seafood platter was bland. The small amount of chips that came with it where good, the 2 prawns tasteless, the 1/2 a bug was ok, the fish was bland the 1 oyster that came with it was very good. So I paid 50 for 1 good oyster, could of left the rest of it. The Oyster Kilpatrick (4.80 per oyster) was pretty good, 1 of the oysters was no good, it smelt bad. When leaving cashier said was everything ok I mentioned the oyster that got spat out, she just said sorry
