Caves Coastal Bar

Slow service at the bar and when ordering meals their were Long lines. I understand it was busy but staff were slow. Food was great.

Loved the ease of being able to make an online reservation. The booking was exactly what had been requested, food did not disappoint and staff went out of their way to make for an overall lovely experience.

Had a great time at Caves. With a magnificent view, great food, really good music, fire pits and lots of seating options. Made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Lovely food and great atmosphere, perfect for our last day with family that were visiting from the uk

Really busy but all staff friendly and accommodating. Note that pizzas are delivered as soon as cooked so all meals may not arrive at same time. Food fresh and well presented. Fabulous views.

Very nice sea view and with good food, we had a walk near the Cave Beach after lunch, we will definitely go back again! Cheers

Such a great venue. Excellent food and drinks and such a great vibe, even in the middle of winter!! We will be back for sure.

Amazing atmosphere and great food. Beers on tap were a great selection. Wonderful evening. Will need to visit in summer when the days are longer to enjoy the views!

This is a great venue suitable for every occasion. It has been recently refurbished and has a very welcoming feel. Staff are very helpful. Family friendly, great outdoor and indoor spaces with reasonable prices for food and beverages.

Wonderful location and fabulous service. Will definitely be back. Lunch was lovely, then sat outside so my nieces could play on the jumping castle plus they had their face painted for free x

Had a fantastic night! Great food, nice beer selection and very nice location. The Peking duck and Moroccan lamb pizzas were amazing, and I love the hanging egg chairs!

food was very basic , and didnt in any way reflect the perception of the upgraded venue. I would be disappointed if a view was taken that the food quality and offer is "good enough ", it didnt work and for a party of 12 diners , to not have even 1 that was very satisfied with their meal choice is not a great result . the location and Hotel upgrade are exceptional , but the Dining experience was a let down.

Yummy food, fantastic service and plenty of seating. It was fantastic to have such a great playground for the kids, mine had a ball, would be awesome in the summer.

Very nice meal and lovely atmosphere. Kids playground may need a update but still lovely afternoon and great views. Excellent services and value for money

Food was awful, service and surroundings were great. Nice play area for kids. Beautiful scenery and lots of parking. Free jumping castle which was awesome

Excellent location, excellent service and excellent atmosphere. Menu had lots of options, low wait time and food was delicious. The live entertainment was awesome and there was plenty of underground parking.

A very busy and noisy place with a wonderful, relaxed vibe and good food and service! Try the Mississippi mud cake and wood fired pizzas.

The Caves Bistro serves good pub food, its a busy place and the wood fired pizza is as good as most places and better than lots of restaurants.

Caves Beach pub always has high quality food, with a great atmosphere no matter whether it's lunch or dinner time. Wheelchair accessibility is great with parking underneath and lift access.

Had not been here in years as last experience was very ordinary. The place looked fantastic, the food and the service were excellent . View as always is spectacular, only disappointment was the cushions were wet outside and people ended up with wet bums. Maybe a sign to let patrons know. Besides that it was a great experience and we will certainly be returning.

Very warm in the building itself. The line up for food was lengthy, and the quinoa salad was overpriced and unpleasant. Lovely venue otherwise and the other food (pub type food, burgers etc) was quite nice.

Fantastic atmophere, great spot for families. New menu has something for everyone. This place has improved enormously over the last year or so. Highly recommended

We had a relaxed birthday with great food, beautiful outlook and nice music. Kids enjoyed checking out the duck pond and the play ground .

All round pretty good experience. good food and good service. nice view out to the sea. prices about normal. . . . . . .

Nice venue but the live music was very loud and the food was a litte disappointing. I had a pizza and the base was very good but it was overloaded with cheese which was undercooked.

Food was amazing so was the view and the service was polite and efficient with plenty of room for the whole family with a massive kids room

Hi I have booked tonight for dinner for my sons birthday When I called though out the week they said it was kids eat free from Monday -Thursday when you purchase an adult meal We have just ordered and to be told this is a member deal only When we then asked to become members we were told it wasn’t open he then said it’s fine he would put it though anyway but to have his card not work then he told us we would have to pay for the kids meals We purchased 3 adult meals and 3 kids meals Just really disappointed

The accommodation here is thoughtfully and pleasantly designed but the restaurant and bar is like a vast RSL or Leagues club. Order food yourself at the bar, buy your drinks and carry them back to the table, try to have a conversation over loud pop music. The menu offers all-American hotel food which is competently cooked but still junk. There are few dishes without chips. The staff are hard-working and pleasant but why would so much thought have been put into the architecture and so little into the eating and drinking experience?

Love the renovations. The place looks amazing. Food was nice although the salad on the side of the Schnitzel was a little soggy. Would have preferred coleslaw. Husband had a pizza and said it was divine. It was very hot on the day we went and luckily we got a table near the door for some air. The fans didn’t seem to do too much. We’ll definitely be back - beautiful spot.

The staff where very rude, food as ok one meal we had to return. Under staffed literally had to point at the beer we wanted that was on tap was handed a beer with 3/4 foam that I didn’t accept. Won’t be returning!

A couple of food and drink orders were not correct, this was due to the noise. The wait staff found it hard to hear. And it would be a good idea if they read the orders back so custmer can double check. Other than that food was good just very noisy.

Great atmosphere, great location. Wait time for lunch can be bit long sometimes as they are usually very busy..would recommend to all though. had a great time.

The renovation lools great however it looked like they over booked. Our table (of 6) was right in a door way which was effectively a wind tunnel and the band was just about on top of our table we were so close to them. The line for dinks and ordering food was so long we only stayed for 1 drink and left.

Lovely food, great atmosphere. The lines to the bar and for food were a little long at peak hour but the food came fairly fast so made up for the line :)

we went to Caves Beach Hotel to celebrate my Mothers 88th birthday. She had a wonderful time. Food was good and the serving size was generous

We were originally seated outside but as a party of 13 and majority of them were kids we preferred to be inside due to the weather not being so great. Adam (manager) was very accommodating, friendly and service was fantastic.

Food was good. There were lots of gluten free options and chef was happy to modify meal to make it dairy free as well. Venue modern and clean with great view. All of the staff were friendly.

Excellent meal and service whilst enjoying very pleasant surroundings. Beer wine and coffee choices excellent. Parking easy even whilst very busy. Only prudes or teetotallers couldn't enjoy this venue.

Great venue, friendly service and good quality food. The setting is fantastic although it can get very busy. Suggest that you book during busy periods.

I understand it was busy BUT. Took 1 hour and 20 mins to get our food. Staff walking around with plates of food for 5 mins trying to find which table to take the food too. Food cold when we got it. I think hey need to employ a floor manager.

Caves Coastal Bar and Bungalows has delicious food and lovely decor. Food is a little expensive ($30+ per main) but it is well presented .

Very hot day, should have closed the doors & turned on the air conditioning. Very uncomfortable for the family & children to celebrate our Christmas

The food was lovely, the atmosphere was great but it was so hot. The dining area really needs to be air conditioned properly for a better experience.

Enjoyed a fabulous night at the Coastal bar & restaurant last night. We were seated outside with gorgeous views of the beach. The service was fast, staff are friendly and the meals were delicious. We were all happy with our meals and considering there are some fussy eaters in my family so this says a lot. We will definitely return!

An excellent location with good choices on menu. Only issue was placing order for food at the bar. I feel it would work better for everyone if it had a designated area to place order.

Lovely lunch and atmosphere, only recommendation would be to have table service instead of us ordering up at the bar and getting our own drinks at the bar, makes it difficult to do with mobility issues

Lovely place, great food and fast service. My only complaint is that the menu is very small, not many options but lovely other then that

New look is fantastic unfortunately the food has not improved the chicken was over cooked and very dry as was the fish the coffee was warm

Great location, excellent service, good food, and plenty of undercover parking. Sitting inside you could be anywhere in the world yet you are only just south of Newcastle 😆👍🏻😀

Table was ready & in a great spot, the staff were wonderful & it was a beautiful location with a great atmosphere. Food & drinks were great.
