Even though they had been challenged by a 3 day power outage and sadly had a limited menu as a consequence their trusty generator kept them open. Oysters were fresh local and delicious. Wine list well priced and varied. Service was fantastic. Couldn't fault it!

Understanding it’s a public holiday and limited supply available, for the 100 text message & email you got prior to the reservation one could of informed you of the limited menu options. Service was polite, took way to long to get food (biggest downfall), lucky the food was great.

We came to the Eyre Peninsula looking for Australia's best seafood and we were not disappointed. The seafood platter was incredible, and paired with a lovely wine in the sun it made for a fantastic afternoon.

Excellent service from Kelly and great ambiance.; though the girl behind the bar did not have the same enthusiasm- but that because she was having a bad day .

Food and service were top quality. Our guests were surprised at the high price of the oysters compared to what they pay on Perth. We all would recommend 1802 to anyone on the Eyre Peninsula.

Booked the 1802 whilst on our visit to Coffin Bay for Husbands birthday. Wonderful food, we chose to share a seafood platter and wasn't disappointed. Husband did think a small serve of side salad and chips would compliment the dish. We both loved the mussels and vongole in thai yellow curry - they where yummy! My only criticism was the young lady who served us (who was lovely) didn't seem to know enough about what was on the menu or the wines. She did go and check for answers to our questions but think a little more training so as staff knew what they where serving would be helpful, especially as the seafood is the main attraction in this area. We did enjoy it and returned on our last evening in Coffin Bay and will be back when we return to this beautiful part of South Australia.

The restaurant is a wonderful surprise in the sleepy wonderful town of Coffin Bay. High quality food with fine dining flair. King George Whiting meal was fresh and generous. Very good well structured wine list the great majority in the sub $50 range. Oysters during this tough season were first class although smallish and pricey. If you get a chance do the oyster walk too around the coast.

Food was nice however the staff were dressed so casually it was if I was having a very expensive meal in a milk bar. The experience could have been very special but this detail really let it down. Washed out jeans and a faded shirt really didn’t cut it. You have spent a lot of money on this very nice architect design building, you could at least make sure staff dress to suit.
