Had such a great experience at Lucky Shag! We went for a family meal and everything was spot on. The cocktails were amazing, definitely some of the best we’ve had and the food was really good too. A special shoutout to Lucas, who did an amazing job looking after us. He was friendly, attentive, and really made the whole experience even better. Would definitely come back again!

I had dinner on Friday night at the Lucky Shag. Ordered octopus. And what I got was horrible paid $28 for it too. The waitress came round and asked about Meal and I said it was tasteless and chewy. She said what would u like another meal and I said yes but not that again. She said she would speak to the chef. I never saw her again never followed it up and I wouldn't recommend going there again. Thats one way to kill your customers. Maybe you should train your staff better. We are the ones that keep you alive. Very disappointed.

Had a great afternoon here. Didn’t know which wine to have and staff were happy to let me try a few before choosing. We ordered the butternut squash salad, absolutely delicious and the soba and zucchini salad which was also delicious and both very fresh. It was Easter Monday and there was live music which we really enjoyed. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Swan River views on the large jetty out the back of this place. I came here for breakfast whilst passing through the Quay about 8am on a summers Saturday morning. It was very quiet and peaceful and my breakfast was delicious. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy and tasty!!! So was the Vanilla milkshake which only downfall was I wanted more 😂😂 Definitely coming back here for lunch 🍽️

This is the 3rd time I've been here. I like them atmosphere an seating arrangement. Both indoor and outdoor. Outdoor has umbrellas and good view of harbour. I came for brunch at 1050 but could pre-order when kitchen opened at 11am. I could order drinks, thought that was ironic. Bar staff were friendly and efficient. They made me a soy mocha in my own cup and I was pleasantly surprised it was great. My peach Spritz was darn nice, I wanted to gulp it down. My fish n chips were nice with aioli and small side salad with a lovely dressing. Place was packed today due to Soccer being streamed live then later rainbow community cam after fun run. You'll love this place and if you have a large group be sure to book your table at least two days prior, if you want to sit outside.
