Chef Neil Perry AM has spent years developing relationships with some of the best suppliers in the country. We are predominantly a seafood restaurant and are very fortunate to receive our seafood direct from our fishermen, caught sustainably and dry filleted here onsite at Margaret, so we can ensure that all that love and care our wonderful fisherman have taken is seen all the way through. The menu at Margaret is diverse and inspired by all the flavours that Neil has been collecting over his 45+ years in the industry. Margaret

    We were sharing a special celebration with our nephew and girlfriend. The view from our table on the terrace overlooking the bay was spectacular. Our starters of oysters, squid, stuffed prawns and Moreton Bay bugs were delicious as was the grilled John Dory, grilled Barramundi and Snapper and chips. The service was excellent and the wine prices were correct

    We told the staff that we were running late, they assured us it will be fine. We got there and our table "garden" was waiting for us. We asked if we could get a table in the restauramt if there were any available preferably outside. They found a table for us in the restaurant. We were very happy. Then moments later a lovely staff member comes to let us know that there is a table outdoors that became available. She did not have to do that but she did it simply because they are great. We loved every minute there. Staff are THE best. View amazing. Thank you so much

    We had a fantastic double birthday family dinner. We were looked after amazingly by all the team and enjoyed the most delicious food. Our fish was perfectly cooked and all the dishes were faultless. We all agreed it was one of our best nights out. It was also great to not have to chase staff for a wine glass top up or new bottle as this was all carried out so well, which is sadly rare these days. Many thanks to all the team.
