Wheeler's Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar garners significant praise for its incredibly fresh oysters and seafood platters, often highlighted alongside impeccable and friendly service. While many rave about the ambiance and quality, a few recent reviews suggest a decline in food quality and freshness compared to previous experiences under different ownership, noting issues with seafood taste and overcooked steaks.
"A Perfect Venue for a Perfect Day
Wheelers Restaurant hosted our beautiful wedding reception, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience they provided. After interviewing countless venues across the South Coast, it was clear from the moment we met with Jacqui that this was the right place for us. She made us feel comfortable and truly listened to what we wanted. Jacqui asked all the right questions, offered flexibility with meals and beverage packages, and was accommodating with our preparation arrangements.
The lead-up to the big day was made stress-free thanks to seamless communication and thoughtful planning. On the day itself, the entire team executed everything flawlessly. The staff were clearly well-trained and committed to providing our guests with an exceptional experience. We’ve received so many compliments since the wedding, with guests raving about the delicious food, the flowing drinks, the warm atmosphere, and the friendly, professional service.
A special thank you goes to Dani, the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. From the perfect timing of meals and drinks to making sure our older guests were looked after with tea and coffee, Dani’s attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
Wheelers made our special day truly unforgettable. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team—especially Jacqui and Dani—for their outstanding work. If you’re looking for a venue that blends professionalism, warmth, and exceptional quality, we highly recommend Wheelers Restaurant."

"Endless Summer nights.
I don’t often leave reviews, but I knew I had to once I got home. From the moment we walked past the bar, and into the restaurant, the tropical ambiance just after sunset instantly transported me back to memories of Hawaii.
Thank you for an incredible evening of dining. We were warmly greeted by who I believe was the host, with effortless grace in her black dress, welcomed our family and guided us to the outdoor dining area. She went above and beyond with pleasantries and ensured our little toddler was comfortable, even arranging extra cushions to help with seating.
The service throughout the evening was faultless. Every member of the wait staff was not only professional but carried a quiet elegance that truly elevated the experience. Even the sparkling water tasted elegant.
We had heard great things about the seafood platter for two and had to try it, it did not disappoint. Ordering for 5, everything arrived within 15 minutes, and the freshness of the seafood was amazing.
We finished the evening with dessert all round, with the crème brûlée being a clear favourite.
We’ll absolutely be back during our annual Sapphire Coast visit and are already looking forward to exploring more of the menu."

"We enjoyed a great night of delicious meals. Starters of half dozen oysters Kilpatrick & prawns with tempura batter. Followed by fish of the day that cooked perfectly. Deserts were sticky date and affogato. Great friendly service in a comfortable setting. A pretty good wine selection too."
