Alfies Mooo Char & Bar - Caloundra

We had the Seafood platter and would recommend this to everyone who loves seafood. The staff were very friendly and the service was 1st class. Will definitely go back for dinner when we are back in Caloundra.

Our fourth visit to Alfie's and we took family members along after talking up how wonderful it is. Unfortunately this time we were disappointed. Service and staff were as always wonderful. Daughter had the beef burger for $18 which she said was delicious. Son in law husband and myself had the $39 two course lunch. What on earth happened to this? Whilst the quality and presentation and the taste was impeccable the serving size was seriously small. Entree was the beef cheeks. Beautifully cooked, tasty sauces to match, but three tiny slivers on your plate was all you got. Pork belly was the same. I know it's only entree size, but that was more like "taste this" size. Main was chicken and salmon. Salmon was a reasonable size, but very little to accompany it. Chicken was again such a small serving we were left still hungry. Such a shame as we always talk up this restaurant to anyone who will listen. We will return but only to try a lunch time special at a more reasonable price, definitely not the $39 for two courses.

I was staying in Caloundra for 1 night due to a business meeting nearby and was looking for somewhere I could have some seafood for dinner so I read some reviews and decided to try this place.The restaurant is in a good position, right near the esplanade and when I arrived the man himself was sitting outside with friends greeting people as they walked up. I had no reservation which was fine as there was plenty of tables available. Everyone I dealt with was extremely friendly so I take my hat off to Alf for teaching staff how to deal with customers and have the right attitude after all this place would get alot of passing holiday traffic. There were a few small plates of the usual things you find in many restaurants (lemon pepper squid, scallops) and a seafood feast for 2+ people but not many plates of seafood at all if you didn't want to spend $40.Based on this I decided to try the Barramundi which was very good and nicely presented. If I had to be critical at all it would be that there was too much salt on it but that is it. For entree I ordered Alf's special Moo juice with bread and herb butter. A bit of a disappointment for me, the bread wasn't toasted enough for my liking and the moo juice was just gravy in a cow shaped gravy boat. I couldn't understand what the connection with this was. For $11 it didn;t work for me.I noted they have an extensive drinks list and several desserts but I was happy with what I had. I would probably come back here if in the area but wouldn't make a special trip out of it. I had a hard time rating it but I thought the service was enough to give it a better score than it probably deserved.

Took some visiting friends to Alfies in Caloundra as we live there and it was a most enjoyable evening the staff were courteous and the food was prompt and very goodYou do have to book Fridays and Saturdays and we did - got a very nice table on the deck area. If I did have a negative it was the head waiter seemed to change towards us for asking the blinds to be rolled down - it was blowing a gale at the time But all in all it was a good dining experience by all

After a month traveling round Australia as tourists we have had some great experiences, unfortunately Alfie's was not one. My wife had the chicken breast and the portion size was very small, we might have complained and pointed out to the management, however it was not a dish she wanted more of. I had eye fillet steak, it was not terrible however the peppercorn sauce looked like it had been microwaved. An extra portion of chips with sauce didn't provide any respite, again the sauce looked like and tasted like it had been squirted from a container. Our drinks were simple.. 2 cokes not much you can go wrong with...well it was 70% ice and only 30% coke. Overall one of the most disappointing nights out for us in many years. I rarely write reviews unless it's at either end of the scale...hate writing this one but feel it might save a few others from a similar experience.
