The Wharf @ Port Fairy — Restaurant in Port Fairy

I love Port Fairy. My first time so thought we’d try the wharf for fish and chips -a classic meal if done well. I ordered squid with Greek salad and husband ordered fish and chips. If I may give feedback, the squid was undercooked and still had the chewy membrane attached which made it rubbery. The salad part was adequate presentation quite good. Flavor fine. Fish and chips was ordinary and not overly flavorful, garden salad was adequate. For the price a bit of effort to make the food a little unique and tasteful would have been nice. View over wharf was lovely, the place needs a people friendly matre de at the door to greet. We were turned away to come later but could have been offered drinks whilst waiting for opening time… instead we spent money across the road and nearly ate there had they had an available table.

But overall it was such a great place so I give...

It is the owners intermittent response here, that leaves me doubtful on whether I will stop in on my weekend away visit tomorow. My tip to to him/her sometimes best not to respond at all if you can't display some form of care and consistency toward the reviews. Just a thought. ----- Take 2 of this review so I popped in at 9.15am this Sunday for coffee and their highly acclaimed dognuts. Unfortunately the kitchen had not yet opened so I missed out. That said, the coffee and yo yo were great and the staff were lovely. I look forward to trying the fish n' chips on...
