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.

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.

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.

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.

It was a beautiful balmy evening and we sat outside which was great. I hadn't been there for years and was pleasantly surprised by the extent of the menu. The food was exceptional and the service was unobtrusive and efficient. Would certainly go there again.

Presentation & staff were great, quick service & food arrived in a very timely manner, unfortunately, both by & my daughters meals were terrible... linguine bolognese & linguine carbonara... hands down the worst carbonara I've ever eaten & bolognese not far behind. I'd drop the pasta dishes imo, not to their style I'm assuming.
