The Fish Restaurant at Balls Brothers (Hay's Galleria)

7 of us went here Friday night for dinner and very disappointed in food. Not many fish items on their menu and whilst it was only 19:30 had run out of items on their menu already.

Service was friendly but we had to wait quite a while for our starters. Five of us opted for their 28 day Aberdeen Angus and it was terrible. Completely tasteless and very fatty. The manageress dealt with our complaint very well though and agreed the steaks didn't look good. She offered us their fish volcano rock as an apology but have to say the quality of this was even poor as have had similar elsewhere. We did ask for chips but they had run out... and gave us new potatoes instead but again these were very poor quality and had a high water content.

Lovely looking restaurant and the table we had was great but food such a let down.

Fantastic new menu, we had a table for 8 and enjoyed some great oysters & shellfish including delicious lobster followed by seafood and surf & turf Black Rock platters where you cook your food to your liking on your own volcanic rock! Great fun and quality. As always the staff were bubbly & friendly.
