The Seaview hotel lives up to its name with one of the prime spots on The Strand, not quite on the water but you definitely have a view. We make a point of stopping in every time we visit Townsville, and the experience has been reliably consistent over the years.
The food is solid, we've never had a bad meal, but here's the catch... the wait times are LONG! If you're already hungry then brace yourself, because meals often take 1-2 hours. We ordered the chicken, a parmi and a kids steak early on a Wednesday night and it took 75mins. This was out of peak busy times as well. Service could use some work too, which doesn't exactly help the wait.
It's the kind of place you go more for the view, the vibe and a drink than a quick bite, and in that regard, it delivers every time.
