Garfish is something of an institution to Crows Nest locals. Famed for its fresh seafood selection, great wine list and outstanding service, it's a hard place to beat.

The current menu boasts starters such as seared scallops with yuzu kosho mayo, prosciutto, rockmelon and pickled cucumber. And for the mains try either the blue swimmer crab linguine or the Sri Lankan fish and king prawn curry. If seafood doesn't float your boat, opt for the rack of lamb or the sirloin.

Make sure to leave room for dessert because the dark chocolate bomb with blood orange sorbet is a must. BYO is available but only on Tuesdays and for $5 per person. But the wine list is pretty extensive, so it's likely to have something you're after. Or, opt for a cocktail or Aussie craft beer.

And, if all this sounds ideal but you don't want to get off the couch, they offer takeaway.
