My meal was only warm. Portions were small no sides
Great food & good service staff very helpful no problems
Best food we have had at Sandpipers and we have dined there for many years.
Chowder was good, snapper was dry...not good, preseco was very nice
Great food and service. Highly recommend this great restaurant in Nelson’s Bay
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
Being family run was an attraction but my wife had the prawn hotpot which was a specialty, and for $42 to have 5 small prawns was disappointing
Absolutely amazing food and services we sat outside and there was no problems with traffic
Fantastic seafood. Group of 4 had crab arancini, duck spring rolls, scallops and seafood paella. As good as anywhere in Australia. Wish this restaurant was in Melbourne where I live.
Yummy food and very pleasant efficient service. Good value for food served
Der Koch aus Nepal zaubert gute ehrliche frische italienische Küche auf den Tisch. Uns hat es wirklich geschmeckt. Tip: Eigenen Wein mitnehmen - die Weinkarte ist etwas bescheiden. Hier würden wir wieder essen. Thanks to the crew!
Both of us had fantastic meals, only one word: excellent.
The service was really good and the food was great. Good value for money as well.
Starters were excellent; however, no mains dish arrived (seafood platter for 2), the next visit by a staff member was to offer us desert! We told her we will still waiting for our mains. The mains dish eventually arrived some 10 minutes later, but everything on the dish by this point was overcooked. The Barramundi was dry, octopus tough and bug well overdone. We were just too tired to actually make a complaint at the time as it was pushing towards 9pm. It was clear that the dish had been prepared and then forgotten to be served and left under a salamander where it overcooked. Disappointing.
Service and food were both really good and atmosphere was super nice
Dishes lacked flavour. Bruschetta just tasted like tomato. Service was not great. Had to ask to order, had to ask for empty glasses to be cleared. Had better dinners, will not be back.
Food and service was amazing, fast and polite, Thank you
Great food, great service, good atmosphere. Very busy night (Valentine’s Day) but no waiting time. Highly recommended
Amazing food, great service. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend for a relaxing dinner with friends or as a couple!
Food was so delicious and the service was very friendly
Food just OK for 3/4. 1 person loved it. Very slow to clear away plates. Would not visit again
Great food, slightly small serving, fast, friendly and efficient service
Good food but a bit pricey. Overall food & service were good
Great menu options for dinner and lovely food. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful friendly and attentive staff and delicious food. Excellent, highly recommend.
The food was very tasty and the service was exceptional.
Upon arrival the restaurant was alongside other restaurants so the vibe was good. I found most restaurants in Nelson's Bay average. Not fine dining style. Having said that the seafood was tasty. Partner had the seafood platter for 1 which is different the half of the player for 2. The 2 person platter had different variety of seafood compared to 1 person platter. I ate the seafood chowder entree sized. Very tasty and filled with seafood. Casual dining with decent food. Staff were polite.
Great hospitality by staff, met with smiles and attentive throughout our dining experience. Our meals arrived promptly and were delish. Lovely alfresco setting. Really enjoyed it all.
We were drawn to this restaurant due to the seafood specials on the blackboard outside as we walked past. What a find! It was some of the best meals we've had - the food, service and drinks were outstanding. We will definitely be back!
The seafood platter was the best ever. Just the right quantity of each seafood, tasty toppings, not padded out with too many chips.
Food was amazing, drinks were on point. the staff were amazing as well. Highly recommend
Food and ambience were great. In addition to that the service was fast and super friendly. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful evening, the food was very good and the staff very attentive.
Food was all amazing, especially the scallops and the pastas
Beautiful food, lovely ambience. Staff very pleasant and obliging. Highly recommend
Lovely restaurant, good food, lovely service will definitely come again to sandpipers. Thanks
Food ok, service was slow and wait staff borderline rude especially when trying to be seated with a reservation.
Poor service, waited over an hour and still hadn’t received our meals, left without receiving meals. Absolutely disappointing!
Sandpipers was good. Meals were very nice except Wifes steak was slightly over cooked (no complaining as they were busy), still ate and was nice she was just looking forward to a nice steak.
We have been to Sandpipers on New Years Eve for the last 5 years and numerous times during the year. This is by far the best restaurant in Port Stephens and we find it value for money.
We enjoyed a great experience there, as always! Very pleasant staff, speedy service and beautiful meals.
Food, service was fantastic luv it for hew tears eve
Great food, great service. Lovely evening meal with the family.
Great food. Great staff. Great owners. Great place to dine.
Our dinner at Sandpipers was fantastic. We were impressed by the meal size and quality. We were also impressed by the value for money. I would highly recommend Sandpipers.
Have been a customer here for years.We love the ambience,intentive staff and the food. Family run, so you know they take extra care to make your night special.
goed je kon gewoon praten en muziek was niet vervelend
Great service, great food. Will be back again as we have before
In my opinion the best overall restaurant in Port Stephens, don't expect Michelin star nonsense with a swish of this and a dollop of that on a huge white plate. The food is wonderfully cooked, very substantial & excellent value for money.
Excellent staff/service and delicious food at reasonable price in convenient location.
amazing food and great service, staff were always helpful and polite.l
