    Took a trip back in time, visiting Doyle’s for the first time, 28 years ago when on honeymoon. Disappointed unfortunately! No updates to decor, food was over priced and the shared entree platter was not what you would expect for the cost and the description on the menu. Won’t be back in a hurry!

    What a wonderful culinary experience. We started with a bottle of the Tyrells Doyles Semillion. Later ordering the hot and cold seafood platter for two. A great selection of seafood that we are afraid to say we could not finish however walked away satiated. The service from our waitress Rosie was impeccable as was our view of the ocean lapping the shore. What an amazing way to spend the day.

    The food was ok but I think Doyles needs to improve is food offer move to a higher standard. The chips looks like they had been out of a frozen packet. The standards of service was excellence

    The food was not anything special and expensive. The restaurant building was interesting and the view was nice.

    We have been going to Doyles for 20 years and this year had to be the worst experience ever. The food was disappointing and overpriced and the service was poor - they forgot to bring one of the main courses and threw us off the table. Sadly I won't be coming back next year.
