    We love eating here! Food is always hearty, delicious and generous at Fairhaven SLSC. It has an amazing ocean view and beautiful sunset views for dinner and drinks from the bar area. It's a modern club with beautiful wood details and flooring. Because of this the place is always humming with people and the sound of happy diners bounces around the room. Great for families, couples but those who are hard of hearing should book for early sittings!

    Tasty options & the good staples of Chicken Parma & Pia’s Beef Rendang always a winner with us. Really enjoyed the Poached Lemongrass Chicken Salad too.

    Our group had Barramundi tacos, gnocchi and seafood linguine and all meals were delicious, such good value. The view over the sea was beautiful and the service was great. We highly recommend this place.

    The position is perfect with sweeping beach views. The food is restaurant quality and the serving staff are friendly and efficient. It is noisy, but this adds to the atmosphere. I would recommend booking as it is extremely popular!

    Great food and service. Unfortunately the venue is very noisy but this is just the way it is because it’s a club house. Great to have it open again for the summer.

    I ordered the chicken parmigiana which came out fairly promptly. It tasted ok, however what really concerned me was that the food itself was barely warm. I was worried for most of the night thinking about the need to properly cook food at a certain temperature to ensure it was safe. The chips had obviously just been cooked and were hotter, but the parmi itself was just warm. I question the technique used to prepare this food. PLEASE GET THE FOOD COOKED CORRECTLY AT THE TIME AND NOT JUST REHEATED. I noticed a similar concern in another review. This really is concerning from a food preparation standard point of view.
