Scampi's @ Glenelg

[fryingpan]

Thinking of taking the better half here next week but just wanted to see if I'll be getting my moneys worth? Nice food? Any recommendations?

Also, where abouts in Glenelg is it located? The only thing I know about Glenelg is how to get to Jetty Rd.

Yeah been there that only gives you the address and menu, I was looking for personal experiences & recommendations and want to know how far from the Grand it is?

As the Crow flies it's between 0.5 kms and 1 km from the grand. Probably close to 1 km.

I've been there in the last 12 months and as a connoisseur of sea-food didn't rate it at all. I won't be going there again.

So if you're looking at the beach the Grand would be on your left and Scampi's would be on your right?

Well that's made me feel better

I've spoken to a few people and they said it was fantastic.

Been there once and didnt rate it at all. There menu looks ok. $180 for a seafood platter! Youd wanna get a lot of bloody seafood.

Sammys is probably better down there but a touch over priced for what it is.

On a different note, Im going to Shiki tomorrow night for our first wedding anniversary.

Yep, that's it.

Personally, having been to both I'd support Macca19's recommendation of Sammys on the Marina. As Macca said, somewhat overpriced, but the sea-food is good.

Prawns there are exceptional!!

I find it odd that the opinions of this place can vary so much. I've been told that the Salmon is absolutely magnificent and that the Beef and Kangaroo was the best Beef and Kangaroo that this particular couple had ever had.

What did you guys have? And why was it so bad? Was it just the food that you didn't like? or the service etc

I had fried whiting and crumbed prawns. Neither up to standard IMO by both being overcooked, which takes the moisture out.

Service was reasonable but nothing more than that.

As I said before, I won't be going back there again.
