Latitude 30
The venue/location:
I stopped by Latitude 30 on my return journey from visiting Brisbane. This quaint little restaurant has a wonderful ocean-side view which fit's the primarily seafood menu quite well. Located in Coffs Harbour, the weather is suitable for outside seating most of the year. After eating you can take a rather nice walk up the cliff-side overlooking the ocean, which is absolutely gorgeous around sunset. Also there's an Ice Cream store nearby, so if you've still got some room left, it can be nice to have dessert whilst on an ocean-side walk.
The food and drinks:
Overall I found it to be a little on the pricey side - however considering the view, I was okay with this fact. I ordered their crispy black pepper squid, as well as their Salmon Gravlax, each were roughly $18-22. I ordered a glass of White Wine also, a 2016 Riesling by Jim Barry Vineyards which paired rather nicely with the two dishes. Both of the dishes were presented quite ornately, and they each lived up to their presentation quality in how delicious they were.
The Service:
Overall, I found the service to be a little less than expected, when asking my Waiter what on the menu is popular/what's best, he wasn't particularly helpful or insightful and seemed to be overall disgruntled. Not to mention when my glass of wine first arrived it had unfortunately had a good portion of the cork that fell into my glass, I tried to grab my waiter's attention however gave up after 10 minutes and went to the bar with my request instead, they were more than happy to replace the glass of wine and apologized for the mistake.
My Final Thoughts:
This place is a wonderful spot to drop by if you're ever passing through Coffs Harbour, certainly made my journey far nicer having stopped somewhere else other than my usual routine of Fast Food for those 8+ Hour drives across Australia. The food was great, however the view was definitely the reason I will remember this place and potentially take others to. Overall 4/5 experience!
