First impressions last and this place has ticked all the boxes!…read more The Warwick is a newly established contemporary pub that boasts an awesomely fancy looking bar. A beer garden with its own bar and also an upmarket bistro. That has amazing food at ridiculously good prices! I had a beef wagu pappardelle pasta which was absolutely delicious and the wagu just melted in your mouth! There was also a sirloin steak ordered that was delicious and very well priced aswell. The atmosphere is just the big winner! Can't wait until it's fully renovated! This place is definitely going to be my new local!

As part of the renovations and update, The Warwick has turned out as a pretty swanky hang out. I was here on a Friday evening and it quickly filled up with people and ended up being completely packed by 10pm.

This is a little bar on the main strip in Avalon. A friend of mine brought me here, and let's just…read moresay that it is a great little beach bar. If you are expecting fancy drinks and cocktails, then you need to head somewhere else. But if you want a nice drink, with a relaxed vibe and atmosphere then come right in. They do have a fine list of cocktails (nothing overly fancy - but sometimes that is not a good thing), and very good list of wine. This bar also does food - I honestly didn't try the food but it looked (and smelled) quite good. There is seats outside the bar, and also if you head back there is a small sitting area out the back. However, this is a small bar so if you are coming with a large group you might find it hard to get a table. Especailly because all the tables are for an average size of 4.

There aren't that many places where you can grab a drink less than 100m from the beach- and there…read moreare even less that aren't some old RSL crammed full of pokie machines and tooheys old on tap.* luckily this is one of those places! The Mill has a really quiet, easy going vibe (which is pretty much just Avalon in general) and has a decent selection of beers, wines and cocktails on offer. Staff were friendly and willing to make suggestions and the food smelt pretty awesome too! It's quite small- so don't come here with the extended family, but I will definitely be coming back here again. *for the record, nothing wrong with a Tooheys old every now and then- just making a point.

There's a feeling you get when you step into a venue that just works. It's a certain je ne sais…read morequoi, something you can't quite put your finger on but it just makes perfect sense. Reviver is one such venue. Situated on the main road of Gosford, this quiet little cocktail bar adds some real Melbourne-Paris-Portland charm to the Central Coast. The deep red wall set opposite the beautiful exposed sandstone bricks of this resurrected funeral home captures the quirky, satisfying class of the place. And the cocktails, my god, the cocktails. I'm quite partial to the Airmail and (when it's available) the Aviation, but you can't go past a Corpse Reviver, the bar's signature drink. With a satisfying menu of nibblies, and a huge range of classic cocktails, Reviver is a great evening out for a drink, a think and a conversation. Be sure to be cashed up, the drinks are excellent but they're not cheap - this is not the place to get hammered (though Tommy's Margarita packs a punch!) Absolutely worth a visit for the connoisseur of cocktails, or if you're looking for somewhere to relax and unwind after a day at work.

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.

There's a lot of style over substance in the restaurant. It's an American Ranch style smoke house…read more Like most restaurants that start up in the central coast its minimalistic in design and menu. The atmosphere has a sense of tension, the feeling you get when you want a restaurant to surprise you with good food, drinks and price, unfortunately SOW doesn't do any of them very well. The menu in the US can be found at most road side truck stops, nothing new here only that it's slightly misplaced in Umina. Not that it shouldn't be there it's just that because of the prices of the food and drink I can't seem to believe they'll have a loyal customer base. Well not all year round. I'm surprised given the location and the cost of rents in the area they couldn't be more generous with either the servings or the prices. In fact the restaurant is far more suited to Surry Hills, and charges the same prices. There's only one healthy option on the menu an ode to vegetarians, but without any enthusiasm and priced as the most expensive, it would seem they were trying to avoid the subject. Being so close to the coast and a fishing wharf I'm surprised there is no fish on the menu smoked or not. The drinks menu is interesting and leans towards the craft beers and cocktails. The wine list is appalling and unnecessarily slim. A glass of average wine at $11.00 it's cheaper to drink in Surry Hills. Overall it's a bar that wants to be a restaurant that wants to be a bar but probably can't because of licensing. I'd definitely go back for a drink and bar snack if they reviewed their pricing. In fact it's close to being the go to place, if they could get it right and find their appropriate audience for the location. The service was good, attentive and appropriate.

The pancakes were sweet and well balanced with mascarpone! The coffee was smooth and the service friendly. We followed sweets with a brisket Rueben burger, poutine tater tots and a pumpkin salad for balance. Being a brisket lover I have high standards and this brisket measure up nicely; succulent, tasty and juicy. The salad was tasty but a few more options in the salad department would be nice(fennel citrus???). We devoured the poutine taters in no time, dripping in tasty house gravy and mozzarella. The hero of the meal was the brisket in my book, washed down nicely with a golden ale. If you enjoy southern US diner food, then you won't be disappointed with sounds on west, the jukebox tunes add to the charm! And they stock Henry's gin from distillery botanica in Erina. Great stuff.

They've gone with a New York theme with heavily graffitied walls, hip hop beats & deli style sandwiches, meats & jaffles. The cocktail list is split into 3 sections of classics, modern & creamy all coming in a shade under $20 a pop created by genuine experienced mixologists. If cocktails aren't your go they also have a mixture of craft beers, a variety of wine & of course straight up spirits. Staff are all friendly, knowledgeable & happy to help.

Pretty comprehensive drinks list and although the food is fairly simple it comes out fast, is fresh, and reasonably priced if you're sharing between a few people. I'd never tried a cheeseburger spring roll but they're basically all the ingredients of a cheeseburger in a deep fried roll - yum!

The menu was primarily seafood, also not a surprise. I decided to order a salad, not really in the mood for seafood. There was roast cauliflower, steak, chicken Parmesan, and various pizzas in addition to fishy dishes. The place was also packed, so I was glad we got an outside table. I thought my salad was delicious. It had fennel and Parmesan cheese shavings over the greens. I don't know what the greens were, but everything went well together and it was a generous portion. I had second thoughts about salad when I saw the amazingly presented entrees my dining companions had selected. After starting out with a beautiful Bloody Mary, my daughter-in-law had a crumbed dory burger with chips(fries in the States). It had two fish patties coated in herbed crumbs and she said she almost always ordered it, it was so good. It looked delicious but I stuck with my salad. My son had beer-battered flathead fish and chips. It was perfect with crunchy, lightly browned coating covering flakey white fish. I snagged a few of his fries which were also perfect. Prices in restaurants are always higher than in the U.S., but how likely are we to find fish like dory or flathead on the menu? Additionally, waitstaff in Australia are paid a living wage and don't rely on tips.
