Terrific service and fantastic dishes with most most delicious Pad Thai we’ve ever tasted. Also recommend the duck and the rockling dishes. Can’t wait to go back

The service was friendly and efficient and the food tasty. The beef in black bean sauce however was a bit disappointing and the meat chewy. My previous experience at Taxiboat has always been remarkable.

A very friendly welcome when we arrived, enough time to study the interesting menu before ordering, a delicious meal which arrived within a reasonable time and an efficient and pleasant waiter made our experience at Taxiboat one that we will certainly want to repeat soon.

Great service, good food and atmosphere just a bit noisy out the front so suggest the backroom if you want intimacy. Good value for money ...

Delicious food, all courses were great especially the duck curry and the dumplings. Service was ok, and the ambience nothing special but the food is worth trying.

Excellent meal with great service. Interesting selection of wines with a very special Spanish Aria sparkling. I would recommend Taxiboat for anyone looking for a mix of Asian Cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere.

The food was delicious. Could have been more salt and pepper on salt and pepper squid. However, we weren't greeted at the door, the drinks took ages to come (they'd run out of ice apparently) and no staff were responsible for any one things = inefficient. They said that they were understaffed but that's not our problem. There wasn't any background music so it lacked atmosphere, particularly when we first arrived.

The service was fabulous and the food was absolutely delicious. Their homemade fish cakes were the best I've ever had. Already looking forward to our next meal there.

The food is always so flavoursome and delicious. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend the great Thursday night deal - an entree and main for about $24.

We have been to TaxiBoat probably 6/8 times - always after going to a movie across the road at the old Westgarth Cinema. It's not just handy though, it's delicious and fairly priced. Always a good menu variety although we keep coming back for their yummy fishcakes and always have the fried rice with another main - try the rockling! Excellent wines by the glass, the staff treat us like family, the owner/chef is an absolute character - we have never walked out of there unhappy. Paul.

Food was fantastic, we had the banquet and all the dishes were very tasty. I would say some of them were a little on the small side, we had the large banquet and we could have a had a little more food. Service was extremely efficient but not very friendly, a smile goes a long way. Overall happy but could improve a couple of little things for an all round experience.

Food was terrific as usual but the lighting in the main room was far too bright. Normally it's a cosy lamp lit place but tonight it was all lights blazing. Minor issue easily remedied but the lighting matters.
