Spectacular view, excellent food & amazing service
We went to Scratchleys for the first time on Friday night and it certainly lived up to expectations! Wonderful location and services was good from a smiling young staff. I had char grilled seafood with pesto delicious. My husband ordered seafood chowder that alone is worth returning for! I did feel the other fish dishes had to many flavourings going on but if you order wisely Scratchleys will not disappoint! It was a pity that I was to full for dessert but I am going back.
Ok the view and food is to die for, better than some Hat Restaurants, only downside is service, its terrible
I have been coming here since 1994 and the food is always consistently fantastic. I drive from Melbourne to eat here ant tie it in with a weekend at Salamanda bay. Best holiday treat for my family. Wendy
Always fantastic, I can never go past the pesto scallops!
I just love sitting at a table over the water and tucking into their healthy (not fried) seafood platter
We had sour dough for entree was amazing. I had chilli salt tuna steak which was unbelievable . My wife had Atlantic salmon Wellington which was equally as good .
