Caves Coastal Bar

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.

Great spot was a little disappointed in the food. I had the Burramundi the batter was too well done was very hard and tasteless with a very thin piece of fish. Not at all enjoyable. Having said that my friend had the Panko Prawns which she enjoyed. Sorry will not rush back

Very tasty large meals. Also has extensive menu. Added to this the restaurant is large, airy and surrounded by a fantastic view of beach and dams.

Food average. No dedicated service for just food orders, have to wait in line at the bar and order at the bar. Staff didn't appear happy and friendly as they were understaffed and extremely busy. Amazing establishment and location but won't return to have a meal, maybe just for a drink and enjoy the view. Had a beautiful 2 piece band with beautiful singer entertaining the patrons.

Great view, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Daily specials were a good addition. Kid friendly with play room and kids meal options. Mix up with food order quickly rectified. A few negatives - Side salads were tired and limp. The lack of a wine list made selection and costing difficult. But overall a very enjoyable place to have lunch with friends.

Perfect for families! The kids had a great time here - great playground in shade - and food enjoyed by all! Lovely location with great views!

Food disappointing, coffee only Luke warm, laminated menus covered in dried sauce, tables not wiped properly, strong smell of vomit at a corner table, staff disengaged, unsmiling, main entrance area had a musty smell - unprofessional and unpolished. I and my friends were unimpressed.

A sensational location with great accommodation. We stayed in a studio suite - really nice. To top it off a really nice bar with some room for improvement on the menu side. But all round great weekend.

The town house we stayed in was amazing 😄 nice and clean and furnished very nice. Was a great place to stay the night before and night of my wedding. Very happy

Food was delicious! New renovations almost complete, definitely coming back when they are! The staff were very lovely. Highly recommended the ribs, 5)26 were delicious.

My wife and I enjoyed the location of the hotel and the food was ok but both the food and drinks we thought was a little over priced. We started with some breads, then the main meals and with 2 drinks each was nearly $90.00.

Staff and atmosphere were terrific but sadly, that comes at a price. The food tasted very good but was rather expensive for what is basically a pub, a very nice pub but a pub none the less. This could explain why it was so quiet for a Friday night.

the table was booked the food was nice and friendly atmosphere. My sisters medium steak was overcooked but on the whole a very pleasant experience thankyou.

Meals are generally overpriced, this visit a couple of the special meals were decent but still expensive. Not many options for vegetarian meals. Staff are lovely, good service.

Food was beautiful and came out quickly we weren't waiting. Atmosphere was good and service on point. We will definitely be back leaving very content.

Great food and good service on one of the busiest days. - Father's Day! We had a table outside were we could enjoy the weather and views too. Thanks

Great atmosphere, fab food arrived quickly. Fantastic staff all the way through. Great day! Compliments to the chef menu covered everyone's choice. Look forward to our next visit.

the service was excellent,food was well displayed and cooked to my needs, atmosphere was what I needed.staff were friendly and I would recommend the caves beach hotel to my family

Would be great if there were a couple extra shade sails outside as it was super bright, apart from that good was lovely and staff were very helpful
