The Marsden Grotto is unique for being located inside a cave creating a great atmosphere for a romantic meal or for families. Their menu specialises in fish and seafood and they have a wide selection of drinks. The amazing views of the sea and the childrens pirate play area make this restaurant a must.

shockingly bad waited at bar for 6 minutes before i was acknowledged took order of hot choc cappucino n jkt potato with tuna didnt tell me wether or not to wait or sit down for drinks so i asked and was told would bring to table food came after 15 min , son not impressed as tuna warm on jkt potato asked waitress where our drinks were she went to get them 15 min later son had finished his food no drinks had to go n ask for refund which she gave me n said it was busy but no apology crap customer service !!! wont return

Very disappointing. The bar and tables are dirty with a horrible smell throughout the area. Sunday lunch was a disappointing and expensive experience with frozen vegetables.
Please tidy up this great building

Have been coming here on and off for 4 years now. Food is "okay" but not particularly exciting - not much choice and on the last two occasions I've been several members of the group have found fault (food barely hot, portion size not great considering the price). The staff are also quite snappy and offhand, and have normally felt as if I have been a distraction to their day by daring to order food/drink at the bar. The tables tend to be sticky and full of the previous occupants lunch. Worth going for the view and the novelty but not for much else.

the oyster bar is brilliant, went there a while back and it was great, the best oysters i'd had for a long time.
