Sails At Robe

4.5/5 w o w. Our last night in Robe and we were truly impressed with Sails. We booked in last minute and were catered for by Rosie and the team. Super friendly and knowledgeable service, refreshing cocktails and beautiful food. The restaurant filled up quickly and for good reason. Garlic sourdough bread and chorizo with feta for starters. I don't know how you can make bread so fantastic but Sails did it. Beef wagyu spring rolls for entree light, not too rich, sweet yet sour soy sauce. Great balance. Mains... (drum roll) spice rubbed wagyu fillet for me (with a jus) and the beef ragout papadelle for the other half. Could not fault a single thing. Enjoyed every bite thoroughly, and the sides of salad (good to break up all the meat) and the onion rings just completed it. Check out those rings truly a meal on their own! We cried a little on the inside when we simply could not finish them.Robe, be proud because Sails is at the top of your podium. Would recommend to anyone!

Was in Robe for a wedding and was recommended to try the lobster -the signature dish of Robe. I pre ordered the lobster and when we arrived at Sails we were seated quickly. Service was super friendly and attentive. In addition to the lobster, we also had 2 sides, a bottle of wine, the rib eye and a starter of half a dozen oyesters. The food was really fresh and cooked well. The lobster was a bit tough but overall enjoyable. The steak was cooked well according to my partner. At $250 it was an expensive meal but I'd do it again as I had to try the local delicacy!

Great friendly attentive staff serving really fresh seafood. Of the two crayfish we ate, the fresh tasted heavenly, the thermidor not quite as good. The seafood platter for two was also devine. Prices are on the expensive side, but the food, service, location and ambience were without fail.

Excellent lunch with attentive service and quality seafood. Value for money in taste, presentation and quantity. Good place to hang out on a wintry day.

In a word, wow. What a stunning restaurant Sails is. On a trip to Robe over the busy Australia Day weekend earlier this year, my partner and I managed to secure a reservation on our final night in town, after the venue was set aside for a wedding/closed the previous evenings. The evening was definitely one to remember. We were seated outside, and on a warm summer's night, it was so nice to relax into some chill time with a cool drink and the buzzy atmosphere of the lively pub across the road half drifting over. There's a great selection of local wines, beautiful seafood, and desserts to die for! The bbq scallops, eggplant zucchini entree, and fig frangipani sweet treat were standout dishes. Also noteworthy is the service the wait staff are personable, helpful and graceful. It takes a lot to etch a perfect experience into someone's memory, and for me, they've done it. Call it crazy, but if I relocate from Adelaide later this year, I may consider driving down the coast from Adelaide for a night just to enjoy an evening there again (restrictions permitting ofc! . Do yourself a massive favour and book in if you're ever in Robe.
