Sails Restaurant — Restaurant in Western Australia

Wanted to take the opportunity to visit Sails Restaurant for dinner as I only had one night in Carnarvon. Had a good impression the first time I stepped into the Restaurant, looked inviting, fine dining and clean. Took a little while for someone to greet me at the cashier desk (looked like there was only one staff on duty - at no fault of the staff member). Was seated at a small round table and given the menu. The Pork Wellington caught my eye so I ordered this and a side salad. I also got a house red wine which was good (I appreciate the attention that went into selecting a good house red for customers). Pork Wellington looked amazing when it arrived, plating looked pretty, colourful and fresh. Taste wise for me was abit average - tasted more like a pork sausage roll. Roast potatoes and mushroom sauce was good. Side salad also looked amazing and tasted fresh, I thought the dressing was too heavy though. Service wise I can't fault, for the only waitperson that was on duty that evening, I thought that she did an amazing job serving about 20+ customers (greeting, taking orders, making drinks, bringing out food and handing the cashier - all done by one staff member). Something else I noticed was the ambience - no background music made it a little awkward as I could hear everything people was talking about. I saw speakers on the walls so maybe it the music wasn't turned on. Overall though, I don't mind going back to Sails the next time I stop...

Dined here after reading TripAdvisor reviews.

I will be honest overall it was ok.

Server was not that knowledgeable. Recommendations were about 2 things on the menu, could not tell me the origin of the steak for the fillet.

We started with the coconut prawns. They were alright.

My son had the cheese garlic bread which he really enjoyed

Mains both son and I had the chicken curry which was very mild. It was flavoursome and alright

Wife had the pork belly which wasn’t crispy, flavour was really good as was the salad and sauce.

Wine list was ok, maybe not the premium league we are used to but drinkable- we went for the alkoomi.

Overall a 3/5 dining experience. Perfectly fine if staying at the best western but average...

Busy restaurant. The rave reviews given for the meals are well n truly justified. My partner had a curry and I had the seafood chowder. So delicious!

We had half a dozen oysters each for entre. Partner had Kilpatrick...no need for the onion. Mine natural...seems they were washed because there was no salty taste.

The wine list was extensive, but several varieties weren't in stock.

The windows need a very thorough clean. Being close to the water, the view would be lovely. The unused Bain Maries need to be stored elsewhere when not in use. The restaurant could do with a spruce up.

Charming waitress and...
