Reviews


The Captain restaurant on the Surf Coast offers a mixed bag of reviews, ranging from disappointing to exceptional. While some patrons found the pizzas to be soggy and overpriced, others praised them as some of the best they've ever had. The service is consistently highlighted as friendly and attentive, with the owner (referred to as the Captain) standing out as a paragon of hospitality. Despite some mixed feedback on pizza variety and opening hours, The Captain seems to have a loyal following both among locals and visitors. With a picturesque location, cool decor, and delicious food, it's no wonder that this restaurant continues to draw in customers and earn recommendations, on average, Captain of Aireys has been rated as 4.6.
