Seawall — Restaurant in Tasmania

Seawall Cafe: Kettering’s Hidden Gem.

Travellers en route to the Bruny ferry terminal will not regret taking a small detour (take first left off Ferry Road) down to Oyster Cove Marina to grab a cuppa at Seawall.

However, those who take time to dine in will enjoy a real treat. Aside from great coffee, Seawall has a comfortable atmosphere and boasts a magnificent outlook, thanks to its position right on the waterfront. Indoor or waterside outdoor seating is available.

The menu is straightforward with an exciting selection on offer and the cafe does not fall into the trap of trying to be too many things at once. My own meals have been consistently delicious, a sentiment echoed by patrons at neighbouring tables, and both skill in preparation and use of crisp fresh ingredients shine through.

In the front cabinet I also spied several home baked treats to satisfy the sweet tooth.

I had the privilege of meeting several of the Seawall team members, all of whom are delightful people who ensured all guests were well catered for.

There is even a corner stage advertising open mic nights and guest performances, so imagine some evenings at Seawall could be enjoyed in a festive atmosphere.

The Marina outside the cafe has a paved walkway flanked by small native gardens and signs featuring some very interesting local stories and history.

Seawall may not be easily spotted from the road but do yourself a favour and look for it down at the Marina - you and your tastebuds will not be...

Been before and it was ok, but today we ordered and waited , and waited , wasnt real busy but we waited. They had bought our juice and coffee and cutlery but nothing else.

Wasted our time , we left hungry with a bitter taste in our mouth.... enjoy your profit on the coffee and a juice, it will be the last you get from us. Perhaps its time to upgrade your POS, fix your POS or learn how to use it, perhaps a little thought in to how you can turn an usatisfactory experience in to "we will give you another chance " experience may be a...

My wife and I visited Seawall for dinner after a long drive to Kettering from Strahan.

I can't rate the service and quality of food any higher. The oysters in our entree were exquisite, and the seafood chowder was right up there with the best that I've ever had.

The owner (Paul) stopped by our table for a chat, and we felt as if we could have settled in for a couple of hours and enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine with him. He was an amazing host, had a great understanding of the importance of communicating with guests, and had some interesting stories.

The quality of table service by Silvia was excellent, and Paul's kitchen offsider (Steve) was a friendly as they...
