Drift & Wood Restaurant & Bar
Locals and visitors alike keep recommending Drift & Wood Restaurant at Agnes Water (40 Captain Cook Dr, in the Sandcastles 1770 Resort) for its relaxed beach-town vibe and spot-on food. Guests frequently mention how chef Gracie Sharwood and the team serve up generous, flavour-packed dishes (the calamari, barramundi and pizzas get shout-outs) paired with genuinely friendly service. On that note, if you’re heading there, maybe book for a Sunday when they occasionally have live music in the late afternoon, and ask for a spot on the outdoor deck if the weather’s good: you’ll enjoy the gentle seaside breeze.
We had an excellent dining experience last night, my wife said her vegetarian pasta was one of the best that she's ever had . I had the chorizo and prawn pasta washed down with a local tap beer also Delicious...We highly recommend dining there and are going back tonight for the live music 🎶 thankyou to all the staff.

Drift & Wood Restaurant is totally one of my favorite eating place in Agnes Water! Chef and proprietor Gracie Sharwood offers a wide range of deliciously prepared, traditional, as well as innovative dishes. The serving sizes are always generous and very satisfying for both food and drinks. The service is exceptional and always with a smile. Fantastic place, where you can still have full service for a very reasonable price. Most recent favorite: Pizza! Gracie has chosen his staff with much care to match his personality, hard work and generosity of spirit, of note, Maddy. Love this place, quiet on days when there is no live music and where you can still have a conversation in a pleasant environment. Very highly recommended!

Service was excellent and a duo playing was the entertainment. They were pretty busy. Give it a try for yourself but if your a 'foodie' like us, you may find it underwhelming.

YOU NEED THE SUNDAY YUMCHA! I am an Asian food fanatic and this was probably the best Asian food I’ve ever had. It’s flavourful, fresh and just perfection. The tea has fresh ginger, the Thai chicken wontons were out of this world with authentic flavour, the steamed pork and red bean buns are the best steamed buns I’ve ever had and I am more satisfied than I’ve been from a meal out in a long time. It was $101 and we got a beer, tea for two and nine Yumcha options. Don’t sleep on this restaurant, everything was divine. The chef took our orders, was friendly and didn’t even write it down, he just remembered. The serving dish’s were super cute as well. I don’t have a bad thing to say. Best experience ever!
