    Another lovely meal at the Waves on the Beach. We have been a few times and have had many of their fish dishes and they have all been very good. Their spiced cauliflower and spiced cauliflower are also good. Definitely worth the drive. The view from the restaurant is also worth the visit.

    I shared my 50th birthday lunch with 5 friends so we had a table of 6 on the deck overlooking the beach. The weather was perfect. Food portions were generous and everything we ordered was tasty and delicious. Menu pricing satisfactory. This place is really a hidden gem in Frankston which provides great local food with staff very accommodating. This is my second time here and I will certainly visit again given it's a local for me and my family.
