I…read morehave been coming here for several years, mainly for Sunday breakfasts but their lunch menu is just as appealing and has a good specials selection. Today I tried the Rueben sandwich. The colour and taste of the sauerkraut really topped it off but it was a bit messy to eat. If you have a sweet tooth, there are a variety of cakes to choose from (served with ice cream or cream). It can get very busy so booking ahead is a good idea but there is usually enough space for walk-ins. It is table service with pay at counter. Despite how busy they get they are a rarity in that they split bills, which I love. Yes, they might miss something on your order or forget to get that extra drink but I'm happy to overlook that. I will keep coming back.

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!

However, being such a pub, it does happen to have some decent beers on tap, and it also has a rather nice beer garden as well. However, it still really doesn't stand out all that much, but still, it isn't too bad.

Customs House drew us in on a Sunday afternoon with its heritage facade, north facing terrace and…read morelive music. Upon arrival the FOH staff were welcoming and well presented. Once seated on the terrace we enjoyed the view of the working river with cargo ships and tug boats moving in the distance and cool live jazz tunes being played. We ordered the popcorn cauliflower and barramundi from an engaging confident waitress who make happy small talk with us. The FOH staff looked like a well oiled machine who were enjoying themselves, that really contributes to the over all ambience and experience. The barramundi had soggy skin while it's accompanying sauce was delicious. Could take or leave the popcorn cauliflower. We enjoyed ourselves more because of the venue's character, the service and music, while the food was fine not memorable.

My partner and I ended up here as we had been told a 45min wait for food at a cafe nearby after…read moreseating ourselves at an uncleared table. First glance had me thinking we'd be told the same at Table 1. It is at least twice the size as the previous cafe and I think we scored the last free table. I asked the waitress if there was a wait and was told no, food is coming out regularly. We were given water and a very extensive menu. After a quick look over we agreed on a 'no repeat order' policy when we return as so many things sounded great. The type you could start at the top and work your way through. After both ordering a burger we decided to stopwatch the wait for meals. We received ours after 18mins. May I repeat, the place was packed! My American and partners wagyu burgers were large and delicious. My partner isn't a fan of sweet potato but I loved the mixture of sweet to normal chips ratio that came as a side with ranch sauce. After watching my partner very messily cut his in half I decided on eating mine as they should be eaten. Whole and two hands required! I could not fault it. Cheese never stands out to me on a burger but the American cheddar was terrific. We couldn't help notice the quick turn over and teamwork shown to clear tables ready for more customers. We watched at least 4 and each was cleared, cleaned and reset within about 30 seconds. The price came to $58 for the 2 meals and 2 drinks. I very rarely tip and often feel a little offended at the expectation when I see that jar or tray sitting so obviously at the register. I left a tip here. I'll leave it at that.

I really want to rate this restaurant higher but I'm that irritated by the pretentious menu that I…read morecan't. I knew it would be on the pricier side given it is in the Hunter Valley but when my partners 250g scotch fillet was placed on the table I felt bad for him. Nearly $40 for a piece of meat on a large plate with a wedge of lemon and a small gravy boat of rosemary jus. I guess I'm not accustomed to 'fine dining' servings but that is ridiculous. Now... pommes frites. $9 for a side of French fries! I didn't inquire. Were they just fancy named chips? Or were they prepared in more detail; twice fried using animal fat? They were tasty but not necessarily special. Also ordered a $9 side of heirloom carrots with labneh and dukkah. I loved the different coloured carrots and have taken a liking to labneh of late. My 8hr slow braised lamb shoulder was amazing. Once again a pricey meal but at least it was a larger serving and came with a big slice of roasted pumpkin with yoghurt. The lamb fell apart beautifully. The atmosphere was nice for dinner with low lighting and soft music. I don't know that I'd return but at least I'll be better prepared if I do.

The food here is fantastic, everything is made to order and oh so fresh. The locals seem to be the only ones who know about the place.

The burgers look great and so does all the breakfast stuff and best of all, it costs a lot less than the eateries around the corner. Breakfast here I come.
