Keppel Bay Sailing Club - Yeppoon

A wonderful place to chill and watch the waves roll in. Overlooking the beach, the is a balcony with high glass walls for when it gets too breezy. Friendly waitstaff and nice casual decor. Go for lunch or chill with an afternoon drink and watch the sun go down.

Had a wonderful dinner with the family on Saturday night. It was pretty busy but we got our food on time. There were some impatient customers but, the staff handled it quickly and professionally. The young man Elijah was wonderful, serving good, fast drinks. Ahead of me was a group of women who were looking for a particular wine which they did not have, but eli brought out a range of bottles which were similar, while explaining each wine (and he sold 3 of them). I was very impressed with his knowledge. All the staff were very polite, and the food was amazing. While it is on the more expensive side, I would 100% recommend this place.

Very busy night for all concerned. Pinefest was in so understandable. Nice meals and cold drinks. The service was not up to scratch but when staff don’t turn up for with it is unavoidable. Well with s visit either here or spinnaker. They are good as each other. Cheers big ears and enjoy

In all honesty, I don’t really know what happened to this place. The food quality has seemingly tanked since my last visit. As a group we ordered a handful of things and our order was mostly correct, but was missing some vital things. We had ordered a prime rump requested at well done with mushroom sauce and a calamari topper. It came out almost charcoal and just about burnt. It was very dry and was missing both the sauce and the calamari that we paid for. We also ordered 3 salmons at varying temperatures with the same sides (except one) and all but one came out cold in the center. The salmon dish that had the different side came out with the same sides as the other two. Alongside this, we ordered two chicken dishes, a grilled chicken and a chicken schnitzel. The schnitzel ended up being quite tasty but the breadcrumbs were overcooked and it was hard to bite through. The grilled chicken honestly didn't even seem like grilled chicken, it felt more like a glorified roast chicken with grill marks. It was dry, the skin was rubbery, and not very nice. The mashed potatoes I ordered alongside this did not taste very nice and it did not help that the salt shakers at the table I was at did not really dispense much salt. One of the salt shakers was also filled with rice, I don't really know why this is done but it just felt kind of superfluous. The only real redeeming factor of my night in terms of the food was the bacon and cheese garlic bread, which continues to be the best item on the menu. The bowl of vegetables also continue to be one of the best sides. Other then the food, the waiting time was just okay. I believe it took 40 or more minutes to get 6 dishes to the table and about 30 just for garlic bread. The long wait was not helped by the very loud trivia night performance. I have nothing against trivia nights and find them quite fun to listen along and try to guess with the people I am eating with, but this one was not great. The presenter was there because the usual presenter wasn't present due to illness which is okay but it didn't help the performance at all. The speaker at the front was configured to be way too loud and the way the presenter talked into the microphone made it a lot louder then it needed to be. The music section of the trivia was excruciating because not only was the music way too loud, but also the presenter also played chiptune (8 bit music as he called it). It's weird to hear this sort of thing from me since I actually quite enjoy chiptune and listen to it regularly but there's a thing about the square wave that the presenter needs to know: It hurts really bad when you play it loudly. It also didn't help at all that in quiet sections of the music, the presenter turned up the speaker which only made it worse. Once again I have nothing against trivia nights, but the execution of the one that was happening while I ate was below par and made it hard to talk to the people at my table. Other then that, some other good parts to this place are the ocean view you get from any table in the restaurant and friendly staff. If you're not looking for an entire meal, I would recommend this place especially if you are coming here at lunch. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Don’t order the ‘fresh’ oysters ! Ours smelt like old bait and tasted foul. The two that one of us tried resulted in belly ache for a couple of days. However the $57 for the dozen at the time was willingly refunded, after we sent the dish back and the replacement barbecued prawns, gratis, were delicious!
