What an awesome place. A bit of a trek for Sydneysider, but…read morewell worth it for that amazing seafood platter. It is so popular with the locals that they recommend you pre-order a couple of hours ahead so you dont miss out. Around $140 gets you so, so, so much crab. ( Ask for garlic butter on the side because it doesnt come with any.. ask for like, half a litre) Not only that. If you have a boat you can simply book a mooring right out the front and the staff will bring you your gosh darn order down to your vessel. Extensive wine list. The restaurant is run and staffed by the owners. I think on the night we may have had a rookie waitress, who was all too eager and came to our table way too often and was a little unprofessional. To wit,that she couldn't open the wine, so asked us to do it. A big no no in fine dining. Luckily the owner herself was amazing, as was the food and that sunset over the water... cos you're sitting looking out over it. Get in!

Each bite was a delight dipped into the hot english mustard (requested) getting the tingles through my nostrils and all of a sudden my sinuses were so clear. The pretzel was also dipped into the mustard as I cant get enough. Excellent doughy consistency with salty drips on my tongue. I took a bite from the sauerkraut arancinni balls and the cheese with the sauerkraut created a gooey goodness of great delight. I washed all of this down with a hefeweisen beer from Hope brewery that are based in the hunter valley. We sat out on the deck in the warm winter sun overlooking the harbour while sipping, dipping, devouring and relishing the goods in front of us.

We spent just over 50 for 2 adults and 1 eating child, which I thought for the food we got felt little pricy given the decor when we walked in, but then again we are at touristy spot and anywhere else would have costed more. And I loved the family vibe there which was wonderful. Portion was alright, the bruschetta was little small (and unfortunately taken the wrong order) but everything tasted great. Sounded funny but our favourite at least for our kid was the buttery toast which really was fluffy and great. Staffs were friendly, and you know this is really the friendly neighbourhood joint when everyone packs their own cups back to the counters. Weighing everything I thought it was a solid 4-5 stars.

This is a beautiful restaurant in an unexpected location. My husband and I were visiting family in…read morethe local area and got a recommendation from a Hunter Valley winery so we took my parents there for a special dinner during our trip. We were certainly not disappointed! All of the tables look to be in perfect locations, beside the river and with unobstructed water views. We received great table service from our waiter, a secondary waiter and both the front of house and chef owners. We started with some incredibly delicate local scallops, roasted garlic bread, beef carpaccio with an Australian twist, and a variety of oysters. We moved onto roasted duck, local cod with lemon risotto, veal mignon. Both of the veal dishes were meant to be medium rare but one came out much more cooked, so they promptly recooked the dish and made things right. With such a small kitchen staff, I certainly understand the chance things won't go right and appreciated how quickly they fixed the issue and how open they were to remaking it. We also enjoyed their wine list, which was compiled of boutique Hunter Valley wineries rather than just the big names. The owner let us know she visits all the wineries and makes choices based on the authenticity and building partnerships in the local region, which helped create a memorable experience for us. At the end of the day, this is a beautiful restaurant without the extreme costs associated with many of the restaurants on the other side of the bay! They created a warm and inviting environment and I'd certainly visit again. We've been to several hatted and Michelin-starred restaurants and the experience was on par with those but still quintessentially Australian.
