I chose to eat at The Vista as I wanted a pasta based meal before a big run the following morning. This was the only place I located in town, although i didn't look too hard, and apart from being a little expensive - I couldn't have found a better meal anywhere. By far the best linguine i've ever had,... More

It's not the cheapest option in Apollo Bay, but it's certainly one of the best places to have diner. The seafood linguini is really great, the staff is very friendly.

Looks to be the best sited restaurant on the front line in Apollo Bay and can best be described as competent. A little over the top on pricing but an enjoyable evening.

Awesome food! The oysters are delightful. The platter is massive and can easily accommodate 3 people, especially if you choose the extra lobster on top of the crab. Very good value for money, although on the pricey side. But the owner is very friendly and the service is close to perfection. Highly recommended if you are on the Great Ocean... More

Had a wander around Apollo Bay and this looked like the one for us. Excellent selection of seafood on offer and good attentive service too. Well worth a visit.

We went there on strong recommendations from the place that we stayed at and were looking forward to a good seafood meal. well the vista was the only good thing about the place. The seafood liguine was the only nice dish, the snapper was dry and the trout wasn't trout (it tasted like salmon and looked like salmon). I wouldn't... More

We booked for dinner here recently on a recommendation from the local fish market and we loved it. If you like your fish you'll love this, fresh produce beautifully cooked and presented with friendly if slightly haphazard service but don't let that put you off. The restaurant is close to the beach in Apollo Bay and was almost fully booked... More
