We hadn’t even been to the establishment before but we will definitely be back! South Sailor had amazing and fresh seafood dishes, our favourite was the poke bowls! Our waitresses were on point, they impressed us with their attention to detail- they even had mosquito repellent readily available. All in all the food and aesthetics were great and we will definitely be back for more

It was great to try lots of things from the menu and the kids were very happy with their sushi dinner and ice cream, early dining is the only time to eat with 3 kids!

Had a fiest on a few starters followed by paella for two. Delicious. Oysters was fresh so was the kingfish . Was looking forward to the finger lime but normal lime was still tasty. Will be back

We enjoyed our dining experience at South sailor and would love to try some of the other menu items. Menu could be bigger but dishes were presented beautifully. My son loved the kids cubby and there was a good selection on the kids menu.

Well, thinking this was going to be a moderately-budgeted night we were surprised with the service, and the quality and freshness of our well presented dishes. Service was attentive, we were not rushed at all, decor was casual and stylish. All in all a lovely night, will definitely be popping in again. Oh, and half price for what we received was a steal

Helen Trenerry - dined at South Sailor on 28 September 2018
Service was prompt and efficient. Ambience was warm and welcoming on a stormy night.
We had the small tasting plates, all of which were delicious with the star of the show being the ocean trout pastrami.
Drinks were great but overpriced (it is Thirroul so that’s par for the course)
All up we would return and try the mains with the ocean trout as an entree.

Kate Wisdom - dined at South Sailor on 20 July 2018
We were greeted by a smiling waitress, seated and ordered our drinks. I had the Korean entree that I had upgraded to a main which would of been nice with some plain rice or something else just to break it all being chicken. My husband had Monk Fish and Chips with a Fennel Slaw which was lovely. Dessert was Lemon Tart and Ice Cream. It was really reasonable and would definitely go again.
