3 of us dined for lunch today while exploring the Devonport area. Had to try this little cafe out and they did not disappoint at all. The service staff were kind, attentive and knew their product inside and out. The chefs stepped it up a notch on that. Fresh seafood prepared brilliantly, and we were all satisfied. The chowder was superb and the scallop entree/main had a sauce that complemented the super fresh tassie scallops just perfectly. Definitely the highlight for me personally. If you love good food and fresh seafood hit them up Thanks guys merry Xmas!

We enjoyed a wonderful family evening at The Elegance Lounge Seafood Bar & Grill, beautifully enhanced by the stunning Christmas décor, which created a warm and festive atmosphere. The seafood was exquisitely prepared, with a perfect balance of flavors,clean, fresh, and never overpowering. We especially enjoyed the signature cocktails, including the festive Jingle Bells and the refreshing Passionfruit Martini, which were perfectly crafted. For entrées, the Crayfish Ceylon, Mushroom Arancini, and Sea Sizzle Octopus were highlights, each dish full of flavour and beautifully presented. Our mains, the classic Chicken Parma and the impressive Sea Dragon Sizzle, were equally delicious and satisfying. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, complemented by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Despite the restaurant being busy, the service remained prompt and professional. We highly recommend this venue to anyone seeking an exceptional seafood dining experience, especially during the festive season.

We absolutely loved our experience at Elegance Lounge Bar & Grill. From start to finish, this place truly deserves every one of its five stars. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly balances laid back comfort with a lively, stylish vibe. The food was exceptional ; beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and clearly made with care using quality ingredients. Every dish was memorable, and the drinks paired perfectly with the meal. The signature Crayfish Ceylon and the classic chicken parma really stood out, both easily among the best I’ve had. What truly sets Elegance apart is the outstanding service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure our group felt well looked after throughout the night. It’s rare to find a bar and grill that combines excellent hospitality with great food, drinks, and ambiance so effortlessly ; and the Elegance team do exactly that. Whether it’s a night out with friends, a date night, or just a relaxed meal and cocktails, this place is a must visit. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Popped in with friends for a quick dinner as we didn't have much time and really enjoyed our meal. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was served in good time despite being relatively busy so we didn't feel rushed to eat. Would definitely recommend. Food was delicious and well priced.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prem's Seafood Bar & Grill, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff who greeted me with genuine warmth. The menu at Prem's features an impressive selection of seafood dishes, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Each plate that arrived at our table showcased the kitchen's commitment to quality and freshness. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, offering excellent value for the price. My personal favorites included their signature grilled sea bass, which was cooked to perfection with a delicate seasoning that enhanced rather than overpowered the natural flavors of the fish. The seafood platter was another standout, featuring an assortment of fresh catches of the day, each prepared with its own unique touch. The service was exceptional throughout our meal. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and answering our questions with enthusiasm. They struck that perfect balance of being attentive without hovering over our table. The restaurant's ambiance added to the overall experience, with tasteful décor that created an upscale yet comfortable setting. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends, Prem's provides the perfect backdrop. In summary, Prem's Seafood Bar & Grill delivers on all fronts – delicious food, generous portions, top-quality ingredients, and friendly service. It has certainly earned its place on my list of favorite seafood restaurants, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
