Great food, cool and colorful environment. Friendly employees. Limited vegan options, but really tasty. Enjoyed a "gracious" plate that was very yummy. Nice view of the harbour,too!
Brilliant place, lovely staff and great food and coffee. The place looks really well done, love the pinball machines.
Curly fries are good & the seafood options are the best!!! Highly recommend.
Another great visit with the usual good service and fabulous food. Delighted to have the kids fish & chips (which were delicious) with a Halloumi Salad.
I wish I could give this dish 7 stars out of 5. The fish had a really crispy coating while the inside was juicy. The jalopeno tartare sauce gave the dish a nice kick! I would definitely recommend the fish tacos. The slaw was fresh and tangy- yum!!
I’ve been here a couple times and I’ve loved it since my first visit! I’d never heard of this place before then but saw online that it had a high review so thought I’d give it a go! Have looked back since then! The food is amazing and I love the variety! Have yet to try the coffee yet! Worth the drive out of the city for its food!
Great menu and cabinet food! These pancakes were m a s s i v e. Staff are pretty nice and the decor is so cool. A really cool cafe to eat at!! The only thing is it’s so popular that you might find it too busy/loud so I suggest going for an early breakfast/late lunch or sit outside.
The food is good and the staff are very friendly. It is just the usual problem as with lots of places: it is just too loud! Hard surfaces everywhere reflect sound and make it hard to have a conversation without shouting. The music is toned down which is good. We still like to go there for the food and the view. There are other places even louder.
Visited Seashore Cabaret with a group of 4 for the first time a couple of days ago. Absolutely loved it. It has a great vibe, staff and some of the best views in the city(if you get a table outside)
Tried the Mussels, Nachos, Curly fries, Freshly squeezed Orange juice and Abandoned Brewery lager beer.
Food - 5/5
Ambience- 3/5
View - 5/5
Service - 3/5 (it was extremely busy on the day and time)
Long wait during busy brunch hours but worth the wait. Awesome breakfast menu and good food. Have also been here for dinner twice and enjoyed it both times. Good atmosphere and a nice view
Fantastic place! Especially, I was mind blown by their coffee(had 2 cups).. The staffs were very friendly, and the place is well located. Would recommend anyone to this place!!
Been twice now, and it is safe to say that the lunch menu is a better option for your best dining experience compared to the dinner menu. A friend of mine ordered fish tacos from the dinner menu and was surprised to see that they used fish fingers! The lunch menu is very delicious and they have very tasty curly fries and dip! The other downsides are the coffees, which taste kind of burnt and the fact that it took us 30 - 40 minutes to be seated. Seashore cabaret have very reasonable prices with decent portion sizes. The ambience and decor is excellent, service is very good, food is delicious and staff are very friendly. I would definetly go again and highly recommend this place.

Really enjoyed our visit there. I've been there before and usually you have to queue a little for getting a table, but this time there wasn't any queue, we went around 1.
Staff was very nice and were able to acomodate us and the buggy with no issues or long faces. Also they have a family toilet was dad could do the diapers!
Though they took a little in getting our order, food was fast as delicious. We had fish tacos, burger, beef salad and a classic sort of breakfast plate, plus some sharing chips. Everything was very tasty.
We'll be back for sure!
Had brunch here at 12pm on a rainy Sunday and had somewhat mixed emotions. Major kudos to the staff who had great control of the long queue, speedy to clean and prep tables and were incredibly accommodating and communicative, however the overall ambience of this cafe really let me down. It was SO LOUD. I wish I was being dramatic when I say this, but literally noise cancelling headphones or ear muffs wouldn't have been able to block out the sheer volume of this place. The cafe was bustling and extremely lively, although this made for a very chaotic, unpleasant eating experience. This is not the place to have a mutual conversation with a friend, study, read, relax or bring a young baby to. The music was so loud and everyone was yelling just so that the person beside them could hear them speak. If you thrive amongst energetic environments, then you will love it here.
The food was good, but also slightly disappointing and unreflective of their reputation and prices. I requested trim milk for my granola, however the staff member said they were out of trim milk (only whole milk and plant based milks) which is very bizarre for a popular cafe at midday on a weekend. The granola was very clearly a combination of packet/supermarket bought granola mixed together, so it really lacked any sort of flavour “theme” if you know what I mean. For $17, the least I was expecting was housemade granola. The berry compote and yoghurt serving was minuscule, however +1 for there being a good amount of granola in the bowl. The avocado toast was okay, but nothing spectacular. This could have easily been replicated at home and I was hoping for more pzazz. Coffee was a 10/10!! Drinks were brought about 5 minutes after our meals which was a tad strange too.
I can’t fault the staff/service whatsoever, however the blaring, turbulent and ear-piercing atmosphere honestly made me want to escape out of there immediately.
Great atmosphere and the decor was nice.
I got the pan seared prawns, it was good not great the prawns were nicely cooked but the whole dish lacked any flavour.
My friends got the truckers breakfast, one asked for the steak to be rare and the other medium, the first one came out blue rare and 7 minutes later the other one came out well done. We also got the Pancakes it was good until you get to the last one which was covered in what looked like burnt parsley.
Our waitress was really apologetic about it when we told her about the problems.
I also brought a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice to go and found what looked like plastic in the bottle once i got home.
Overall i would go again just for the coffee and milkshake, those were great.
Incredible staff and service. A little quirky and kitschy in the best ways imaginable. Delicious espresso martini. Great tap selection. Beautiful view, amazing sunset. Rowing Club established in 1900. If you can only go one place in Wellington, go here :)
sooo yum! I went in a bit nervous because of the small ish menu, but i got the burger royale with curly fries and that burger..... that burger is so freaking good i want to serve those at my wedding def go there and also for lunch menu they have nachos, however i went for the dinner menu. anyways also try those nachos for lunch. will be coming back. it is very pricey though, but it depends how much your willing to spend, for 3 people it cost us $130 but you know, good food comes at a cost.
Great food, good vibes, and lovely kaimahi. It’s bound to be packed and bumpin’ in the summer time—just remember to protect your food from the gulls lol. 241 burger deals on Thursday so that was mean too. The mushroom burger was 🤌🏾🔥 highly recommend.
BuSY! But service was great and wait wasn't too long. The Chilli calamari was very good ($19). Sea views and beachy, surf vibe.
Pie and pancakes were good, so was the coffee.
Nice view from the window side tables, lots of interesting vintage decorations around the restaurant.
For some reason the egg was missing from the "bacon and egg sandwich", but the staff was nice enough to acknowledge the mistake and offer a new one (although we did not take up the offer).
Lovely place and beautiful on a summer's evening. Good food and few fun things to entertain the kids
Fun, friendly atmosphere with interesting character and history.
Delicious food and great sea views
