had 5pax family lunch @ bayswater kitchen keppel island on 16.1.2022.^^

unfortunately no alacarte buffet today which was on website & which we came for..so rather disappointing..

food was ok..

pot of mussels & clams just right texture & sauce very tasty $25

vongole sauce ok tasty too..just don’t have much EVO clams white wine flavours

chef seafood platter too ex at $90..basically just smaller portion of $25 clams & mussels add 4 prawns, calamari, 1 soft shell crab, a few battered cod ..then become $90???

fish & chips pretty good

bounty bar so so coconut sorbet not flavourful wife’s chocolate tart far better

ambience great by the marina not much decor service quite ok

food standard average for the price not worth it without weekend alacart buffet…
