Saltwater Restaurant Fingal Bay, Port Stephens
Wedding venue
😠 Only the drink was memorable from this restaurant. We are from Sydney and have been blessed with great food. Food in Nelson Bay and surrounding areas are incomparable. The dishes were bland and not authentic. The taste did not reflect the cost of the dishes.
We had the nasi goreng with fried chicke...

Cellar Cafe Fingal Bay
Cafe
😐 UPDATED REVIEW: unfortunately the quality of the food here has changed and so is the vibe of the place. Probably due to a change in the staff, the food is not as "home made" and prepared with passion as it was before. So, the food here is now not worth its price anymore, as in addition to the lower...

Rick Stein at Bannisters
Restaurant
👍👍 Magnificent. The taste was perfect. Hubby seemed to think the Indonesian chili resembled a similar taste as my cooking does. But I can’t make food to this caliber. The fish pie was delicious and not a pie as such. It’s a little bit expensive than the other restaurants around town but tastes a l...
