    Overall meal was good but steak was very much overcooked. Disappointing. Oysters amazing and my prawns gorgeous. As we always go there each time we come to Nelson’s Bay not sure whether we will return because of the steak. They were apologetic and did discount our meal to their credit. Need to get the black Angus steak cooked right guys!!!!

    Usually have a great meal here but tonight the lobster topper on my pasta was chewy and possibly frozen not fresh - not up to the usual standard.

    Our go to restaurant in the Bay is Sandpipers. We had friends visiting from Sydney and all 4 said it was an amazing experience. I did talk them into the Chilli Hotpot which is my go to dish. Cheers, Garry

    The food was amazing! Great GF options for mains and a couple for dessert. I had the barramundi special and the brownie. Everything was scrumptious, a great meal if you want to treat yourself to something fancy.

    Booked for a group of 10, it was very good, most enjoyed their meal, mine was very nice, had the garlic prawns and the seafood bisque, both excellent choices, very large servings. Two of the group had the fish as a main and both thought it was over cooked and a bit dry. Service was attentive, and a nice restaurant overall.
