First time in Umina region, we were looking for a nice fish&chips restaurant for dinner. We found…read morethis one at western end of Ettalong beach on Google Maps and Yelp and decided to give it a try. And we weren't disappointed, it was a real pleasure. delicious food (had the day special: burrata) and funny drinks (we had the special too: Chili Pineapple Margherita) and fine wines. And while choosing a dessert, kids got their ice cream, included in the kids meal. And we chose the "Bread and Butter Pudding", insane!!! have a look at the picture... service was great the whole evening, thank you!

Who would've thought Ettalong had a place this classy in it? It's great for sit down or takeaway -…read morethey've even got a takeaway area and counter.

Went for a drive to Brooklyn on a lazy Friday as I drove over the bridge I spotted a new (or maybe…read morea Reno of the old) building at Kangaroo Point just before you enter the road to Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River at the old road bridge. So we called in to have lunch didn't realise that the Restaurant has only been opened a couple months. The menu is a bit limited but does have steak for those who don't want fish or the like. I ordered linguine with plenty of prawns but for the price that's what is expected. My wife ordered flathead and chips and that's what you get no more. When we wanted a plain old garden salad but no only the grain salad ( maybe our request would lower the status). The wait staff are pleasant but very inattentive and the food delivery can be slow as our deserts took for ever to come even though there was no cooking needed. Lastly there needs to be a better plan as with all headland type locations there will always be days of wind so maybe a plan for windy days so that your food isn't blowing off the plate as it became unpleasant to sit there eating in the wind tunnel.

Very happy to have dined here, even as our second choice for the evening! They have an…read moreextraordinary amount of outdoor tables, and only two indoor tables. Making this place perfect for a nice day. It's very typical casual Australian where you order at counter, choose a table and the staff brings out your food. You also grab your own water and condiments, which is a hit or miss for Americans. Personally, I love having it all out there for me to grab and not have to wait for someone to ask if I need anything! My guy picked a fried chicken sandwich special. They had a pretty long list of specials on a wooden board near the cashier, so I would check that out before ordering. I picked a burger with pan fried chorizo, jalapenos, and tons of aioli. It was really good. Although I'm still not quite used to the high prices for burgers with no sides in this country, it was very much on par with other burger joints I've seen. If not a dollar less than similar places. The two of us each got a burger and split one order of specialty garlic parm fries, but if you're cool with regular fries/chips, then they have a great deal to add a portion with your sandwich for only a $1 or $2. The nice view of the beach and the trees is a pretty nice perk as well. :)

Chop n grind really emphasise on the American-style burgers as they are quite a hefty size. The double double chop was amazing, and my girlfriend seemed to enjoy the cheeseburger. The fries are another thing though, they are like Maccas chips only bigger! Will return here

We ordered Steak,Pizza and Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken had a side of hollandaise and it was disgusting. Steak came out cold and slightly over cooked,can you blame them tho? we did wait an extra 40 minutes after the pizza and chicken had came out,we had to ask someone to retrieve the steak,who knows how long it would of taken if we didn't ask. Plus the service was horrible. Meals came out 25 minutes apart minimum even tho we ordered at the same time. Staff is lovely though,We cannot remember the name of the red haired bloke who said goodbye on the way out but he is by far the nicest member of the ob. Hoping this review can help them benefit for the better. #bringbackthekingavoschnitzel

You order at one bar and then pick up your food at another. It's very DIY here, no servers. The atmosphere is very much child-friendly-pub style, with a playground and even a jump house for kids (not sure if that's always there or if we came on a good day). Lots of families were around, parents having drinks while their kids chased each other outside. The wedges we got came in a huge bowl. We got a much bigger serving than I expected, which was nice since it ended up being dinner. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't super friendly. There isn't anything terrible about this place, but there isn't anything really great about it either.

Within 20 mins from order we had received our mains an they were above decent servings with each element perfect in their own ways. Golden crunchy onion rings went well with the perfectly cooked and flavoured calamari and the cheesy fries have not changed at all over the past 10 years in which are always a crowd favourite. If your having a night out on the town then Lone Star Rib House is a perfect start with the teaser menu (the above are apart of this selection) combined with their amazing range of cocktails,spirits and beverages for only $5 each during happy hour between 5-6pm every evening. Other interest are their range of Hot Dogs and if you are up for the challenge then why not try their Double Dallas HotDog challenge in which is a fair challenge for the Big Appetites or their All you can eat Ribs and Wings for under $30! Lone Star Rib House is the perfect venue to go with a group of friends or family get together.

Dry and badly put together - honestly, how do you mess up a burger? Having said that, staff were nice and reasonably attentive, there were papers to read and tea was OK. I think next time I'd go for the wagyu burger as it comes on a brioche and looks a lot more moist than then the burger I had. Honestly, who puts whole pickles into a burger - they go on the side guys.

Not interfering our conversations and just popping over at the right time. The food was flavourful and prompt. There were 4 in our party and we had tapas and a couple of tapas and 3 bottles of wine ending up only $45 a head. Loved the cosy atmosphere that was just the right temperature for an Autumn night. There were no negatives from our night :) Thanks for hosting a great night out for us girls.

I recently went to Four Hands for a friends birthday. My friend has recently moved into the area…read moreand had heard good things about the restaurant so we were really looking forward to it. We arrived at the restaurant for our 6pm booking to be greeted with a "just a reminder we need you to leave by 7.45pm as we have to set up for our 8pm bookings"... What?! First I heard this!! We learnt that the bookings are done in sessions. There is 6pm or 8pm session. At the time of booking we were not made aware of this and only given the option of 6pm for dinner. We were still waiting on a couple of people to arrive which made the waitress edgy and keep reminding us over and over again about us moving on by 7.45 with a gentle "I don't want to rush you but"... Too late! We ordered drinks and the house bread and hummus dip. By 6.30pm some of the party hadn't shown up yet, we were advised it would be best to just order pizzas as the whole tapas and pizza experience would take time and would be best to try another time. So those of us that were there gave our orders which was returned with another reminder of our 7.45 curfew. By 7pm our last 2 friends had arrived they were followed to the table by the waitress and their orders were taken and issued another "I don't want to rush you but". Finally our pizzas arrived, we had the roasted chicken, peking duck, pepperoni and chilli prawn... Delicious! We finished our food with 10 minutes to spare. The waitress returned to our table to remind us that we have 10 minutes which wouldn't leave us enough time for dessert. A couple more drinks were ordered and the bill was requested. Our last drinks arrived as did the bill to which was met with our 7 minute warning. We paid, finished our drinks and left with 1 minute to spare. All in all the food (that we were allowed to order) was delicious but the fact that every time we saw the waitress we were reminded of our 7.45pm curfew with a "I don't want to rush you but" made the whole experience rushed and unenjoyable!!

This is truly a five star experience. Stunning restaurant, exquisite food, excellent service,…read moreeverything you order is prepared and served in style to say the least. Waiters are experienced and can guide you to your best dining experience. Covered outdoor dining, so beautiful and luxurious in the daylight, and equally stunning at night I'm sure. We splurged as it was a special occasion and the seafood tower was a delicious feast indeed, freshest of seafood served with intriguingly tasty sauces, found caviar there to add the finishing touch. The lobster was large and served in the shell with large chunks for many to enjoy. The tower is said to be for two but easily can satisfy four hungry seafood lovers. We opted to have large prawns in place of the oysters as no oyster lovers amongst us. What do I recommend on the menu ? Absolutely anything you choose, you will be delighted with. They wood fired bread is served on a high stand and all puffed up and ready to be torn apart and enjoyed. Select starters are all worth trying. Cocktails here are very special and so pleased to have a video of my cocktail experience, suggested by the waiter. Wonderful memories created at this restaurant. If I return to Sydney, I will travel to Trinity Point to visit this fabulous restaurant again.

Amazing food. Beautiful location. Busy Valentine's Day trade but understandably so…read more The cocktails (whilst not trying any myself) ticked the visually stimulating box as did the seafood platters. I was disappointed not to see the wagyu tomahawk steak and the price sadly put it out of our budget. Maybe next time! Our lunch of pan seared barramundi and spring chicken was thoroughly enjoyed with both of us clearing our plates. The hand cut chips as a shared side were the perfect mixture of soft, fluffy and sinfully crispy. Mouth watering. We deliberately passed on entrees to leave space for dessert. In hindsight sharing would have been a better idea. My mousse dome was denser than expected and my partners affogato was the largest I've ever seen. I'll definitely be back. Not somewhere I could afford to visit regularly but an occasional splurge I can live with.
