The Birdhouse Apollo Bay

Reasonable breakfast prices compared to other places in Australia. Nice view, food was not too rich, Eggs Ben was just right

Great food and setting. A great breakfast bathed in the morning sun, with a great view

The manager posing as the owner was drunk and verbally abusive (in addition to being racist) towards me for no reason at all. Her friend was apologizing on her behalf but such behavior with a tourist is unacceptable.I am considering pressing charges for verbal assault against (Nikki) the manager.Food was OK but the experience was the worst human interaction of my life.

The floor staff could be a bit more attentive and aware of the guests' needs; the tables nearby seemed quite dissatisfied with the service, and we often had to flag down the wait staff for assistance, even before it got busier. Additionally, there was a rather unfortunate incident with a drunken patron vaping at a nearby table, which was a disappointing reflection of the current social climate. It's important for the venue to ensure that its patrons adhere to a vape-free policy inside the restaurant. As for parking, it can be a challenge during peak times, so if you're staying locally in Apollo Bay, I recommend walking if possible. Here’s a summary of my experience: - Meal type: Dinner - Price per person: A$180–200 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 4/5 - Atmosphere: 3/5 - Recommended dishes: Portuguese Seafood Broth, Blue Swimmer Crab - Parking: Somewhat difficult to find - Parking options: Free parking lot, free street parking

We had a negative experience with one of the owners or staff while waiting in line for a pie next door. If you're looking for a place with a confrontational atmosphere, this is it. Food: 1, Service: 1, Atmosphere: 1.
