Sails restaurant, in the beautiful Suttons Beach Parkland, offers a diversity well suited to this ideal location, with stunning views across the water and out to Moreton Island. The team at Sails have done a fantastic job reinventing this Redcliffe icon and have focused significantly on the diversity it can offer customers. From beachcombers out for a hearty breakfast to corporate clients, wedding and functions, Sails covers it with panache. The return business from locals and visitors alike is testament to the excellence of cuisine and service Sails can offer. Food and beverage manager Michael Augustin explains that the emphasis on fresh, locally sourced produce and seafood is a vital element in the quality of food Sails can deliver.
A standout choice on the restaurant menu, which is a hit time and time again, is the “taste of the ocean three ways”, offering a trio of different fish including pan-seared scallops, Tasmanian salmon and crispy skinned barramundi. Meat-lovers should opt for the premium char-grilled beef with warm bean cassoulet, black olive tapenade and red wine jus, while spaghetti marinara brings the best of the sea and Italy together with tiger prawns, mussels, reef fish, calamari and a slow-roasted tomato sauce. Check your calendar for the next full moon – Sails is the perfect venue to get up close and personal with the lunar lights.

DETAILS
Sails Restaurant & Function Centre, opened March 21 this year is a towering, grand old art deco structure right on Suttons Beach, complete with a 350 seat restaurant, multiple function rooms and excellent catering facilities. Built on the old landmark Sam's On Suttons site, it maintains the building's structure, but creates a whole new dining experience. The development is the work of Airport Retail Enterprises Pty Ltd (ARE), which acquired the Sam's On Suttons site in late 2006. With its prime beachside location and beautiful structure, the old Sam's on Suttons site always had the potential to be a great dining spot.
