We enjoyed a lovely dinner at On Shore. Both the food and the service were impeccable. We were given a great table for 2 facing out to the beach. The restaurant was busy but we could still hear ourselves talk. Also, being there early for 'first table' meant we could enjoy a happy hour glass of wine or two!
Thank you On Shore.

Mikaela Evans - dined at On Shore on 11 September 2018
We enjoyed our lunch at On Shore. They have an extensive, diverse menu with something to suit everyone. I enjoyed a delicious warm lamb salad (Greek salad with loads of yummy feta!). My girlfriend had the wild barramundi, grilled with a fresh side salad and fries. Service was fine with the owner saying hello and welcoming us to his establishment for the first time. Highly recommended!

We very much enjoyed our dinner on Sunday night. We surprisingly managed to fit 3 courses in over a leisurely celebration. It's our second visit for dinner and it won't be our last. The seafood is delicious. We also had at least a few glasses of lovely wine, which was in happy hour so it made them very affordable.
Karen Durrell - dined at On Shore on 20 May 2018
The food was delicious and the place very pleasant. We had a great time. I recommend it if you are looking for sea food.
Carolina Lozano - dined at On Shore on 18 May 2018
Very helpful with Gluten Free options. Food was tasty especially the dessert and the full price was not overwhelming before the First Tabel deal. The portion sizes were also good. Would go again.
Kim Egelton - dined at On Shore on 19 May 2018
Our third First Table experience at On Shore on Dee Why Beach did not disappoint. Four of us enjoyed mains of fish and chips, grilled barramundi and lamb shanks - all cooked and presented well. Drinks included beer, white and red wine from a great wine list. Service as always is excellent, staff knowing just the right time to come to the table. We would recommend On Shore!
Jane Dempster-Smith - dined at On Shore on 17 May 2018
