Sebastian restaurant at Williamstown Beach has Basque inspired food both large and small. Sebastian is located at a premium location on the Williamstown Beach waterfront and depending on the season offers alfresco dining and a beach bar.
Sebastian has an extensive pintxos or small snack menu typically eaten in bars popular in northern Spain and particularly the Basque region. Pintxos are usually offered in skewers and toothpicks.
In addition Sebastian also has a range of small plate dishes and more substantial large plate dishes. They say variety is the spice of life we suggest trying a selection of pintxos and small and large plates unless you anticipate coming here regularly.
Sebastians decor is nice and relatively open space with high ceilings and seating reminescent of Japanese design with muted bambooish coloured furniture. There are also hanging plants to complete the theme.
Sebastian seems to be aiming for a mid to higher end of the market so depending on your budget this may or may not be a good thing. It's a brave decision and hopefully Sebastian will be successful. They have been so far but in the long term I imagine it may be a challenge for them.
Personally given the serving sizes I think Sebastian is on the expensive side. I get the concept though as if people are going to try the extensive pintxos, small and large plate menu the dishes can't be too large.
The dishes at Sebastian are all fairly good but nothing really blew me away.
In a nutshell
Sebastian is a Basque inspired restaurant offering a wide range of pintxos, small and larger plate dishes aiming for a generally higher end customer. It's great that such a unique and different type of restaurant is willing to open up in Williamstown. Maybe I'm not the target audience but it seems a bit too expensive for the quality. Still we recommend trying at least once if you live locally and if you live further afield read plenty of reviews and decide for yourself if you think it's your cup of tea.
