Amazing waitstaff, so friendly and offered table service regularly which was great. Food was the best we’ve had for a long time at the Esplanade. My parents first time visiting from QLD and dinner was a highlight for them. Thank you.

Had another great dinner here, lovely service staff as usual, The food came out fairly quickly even though the place looked packed out and there was a big party of people in side, I appreciate the ease of booking a table online, and being quickly seated on arrival. Highly recommend this place for eating and atmosphere

Only complaint would be we are all fifo workers who do things at the last minute tried to book table last night at 445 pm for 7pm but would not let us has tow be a 3 hour window apparently For us people that go two to three times a week ,perhaps something to let us book at a moments notice provided there are tables available apart from that its always an awesome place

It was a nice dinner, but it is pretty expensive and the main meal was good and all but stuff like salad and chips weren’t at the best. Lighting could have been a lot better trying to get a photo wasn’t the best due to the lighting.

The Esplanade food is exceptional, fish of the day (Spanish Mackerel) yum!!, and the Seafood Paella delicious!!. The only criticism was the drinks were rather expensive, a beer and a glass of wine - $24.00!!

Two of the guests ordered fish and found it was a bit dry. My steak was perfectly done and the mushroom sauce was the best I have ever had. The other guest was happy with his pulled pork burger. We visit each time we come to Port Hedland as we always enjoy the atmosphere.

We enjoyed our meals, too many pigeons around hanging out on tables and at your feet. They need to have water pistols or similar on the tables to get rid of the pigeons.

We booked table service, but got put on the deck. Which caused us to order separately at the bar, in turn entrees and mains came out at the same time and varying time frames. 1 guest got her main after everyone else had finished.

Overall the food and location was great. However the time from when the Entree came out to the time when the mains came out was over 40 minutes
