After review of website visioned we would be able to order Lobster, prawns etc. should have reviewed menu that was available as no lobster, minimal prawns. Prawn roll very nice but bite size for $17.00. Scallops $7.00 each were not exceptional. Risotto marinara had very limited seafood. Service from staff was very good. View from table looked into an untidy shed with door opened took away the look of the estuary. I am not one to write negative reviews but very disappointed

Four ladies dining. Manager overheard our discussion on fish and choices. Came over and helped us with everything including wine. He went above and beyond to get what we wanted (a couple of friends very picky). Excellent evening. Great Food and Service. Thank you.

I look forward to going to Sodafish again. I love the location and being right on the water enhances the experience. Food is super fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Very friendly and helpful staff. So glad I live nearby.

We had the $95 degustation menu, which was superb. From oysters and scallops to octopus and 3 fish courses, everything was locally fresh, cooked to perfection and served creatively and deliciously. As good as the best fish/seafood restaurants in Sydney or Melbourne, but much better value. We enjoyed the marina views on the terrace and excellent service. Highly recommended.
