    We love The Strand. Food quality & service are top tier - service being the best we’ve experienced. Menu items are consistently made to perfection. Quiet little restaurant for date nights & intimate business meetings without the strict fine dining feel.

    Excellent service on arrival. Our order of oysters was lost or overlooked by the kitchen staff and we were kept waiting for the entre for quite a while. An apology was advised. I ordered the scotch fillet medium and believed it was a tough steak for the price of $50. Our drinks were beautifully cold, a big plus.

    We ordered the salmon and steak and were both lovely. We sat outside with a beautiful view of the water and city. Service was amazing with lovely staff.

    Impeccable service and food, eating outside undercover with a view of Williamstown beach and the bay makes for some awesome photos. So far my most liked dinner ever.
