Our Story
Welcome to The Office Bar & Restaurant. We are a family-owned restaurant offering a casual dining experience with a variety of food for everyone.
We, Alfredo and Carly have been running The Office since the doors opened in February 2021. In September 2023 we became the official owners and changed the name slightly from The Office on Middle to The Office Bar & Restaurant.
Alfredo is from Mexico and started his career as a commercial airline pilot before becoming a yacht captain. Carly is Australian but originally from the UK and over the past 20 years of travelling, worked as a chief stewardess on yachts, summer camp counsellor in the USA for several summers and various hospitality locations in the UK.
We met 17 years ago, while working on a yacht in Dominican Republic. Together we have travelled extensively through yachting, from the Caribbean & Bahamas to the USA and the Mediterranean. We home schooled Sophie, our now 16year daughter along the way, until we arrived in Australia and she started High School.
Before arriving in Australia in late 2020 we were living on our own sailboat in the Bahamas, enjoying the slow pace of life. We enjoy SCUBA diving, traveling, Skydiving (Alfredo) and meeting new people along the way.
We got involved with The Office because we decided to stay land based and in Australia for several years. Why a restaurant? Well, for 7 years we owned and ran our own Tiki Bar and Restaurant in Cancun, Mexico. We enjoyed our slice of paradise, and meeting people passing through, swapping stories. But when one door closes another one opens and that is how we ended up back in Australia and now settling in with our newest adventure, The Office Bar & Restaurant.
From time to time, we will bring in some flavours from Mexico to both our food and drinks menu. The Office Bar & Restaurant is a place you will come as a customer and leave as a friend. We hope to see you soon!!!
