Serving some of the best lobsters in town, Sammy’s on the Marina is the go-to spot for the freshest seafood along Adelaide’s city coastline. Enjoy lobster thermidor, buckets of prawns and grilled King George whiting while you spot pods of dolphins from the restaurant. Sammy’s is renowned for its 270-degree beach view – the perfect place to catch Holdfast Bay’s most spectacular sunsets on an evening out. The restaurant responsibly sources its seafood locally from the South Australian fishing community, too.

Luciano’s on the Marina brings a slice of the Capri coastline to the heart of Glenelg, serving contemporary Italian fare inside its stylish, oceanfront venue.

Seafire on the Marina is the Bay’s home of premium steaks, serving some of the best cuts of locally sourced and prepared meat in SA. The restaurant is best known for its dry aged steak, where the natural flavours of the beef elevate through a drying process that doesn’t impact its texture. Other highlights include the Seafire Steak Flight, where three top cuts are perfectly paired with three different Yalumba wines. With views of Glenelg’s foreshore and the marina, this renowned location is picture perfect.
