Making this place perfect for a nice day. It's very typical casual Australian where you order at counter, choose a table and the staff brings out your food. You also grab your own water and condiments, which is a hit or miss for Americans. Personally, I love having it all out there for me to grab and not have to wait for someone to ask if I need anything! My guy picked a fried chicken sandwich special. They had a pretty long list of specials on a wooden board near the cashier, so I would check that out before ordering. I picked a burger with pan fried chorizo, jalapenos, and tons of aioli. It was really good. Although I'm still not quite used to the high prices for burgers with no sides in this country, it was very much on par with other burger joints I've seen. If not a dollar less than similar places. The two of us each got a burger and split one order of specialty garlic parm fries, but if you're cool with regular fries/chips, then they have a great deal to add a portion with your sandwich for only a $1 or $2. The nice view of the beach and the trees is a pretty nice perk as well. :)

It is a top destination to visit for a weekend or easy enough to head up for the day. The restaurant itself is a large fresh bright open space, beautifully styled in a Hampton's style decking and furniture and the decor is apt for the area. Rhondas also has a rooftop bar with ocean views. This makes Rhonda's the perfect spot for a bite and some beverages whilst enjoying the sea breeze and stunning view. Rhonda's has extremely personable staff, good vibes and a great playlist. You would find this a great venue for afternoon drinks, dinner or even a party with friends. The bar is well stocked, so take your pick of a craft beer, wine or a cocktail. With a cocktail menu designed by Quynh Nguyen one of Sydney's finest cocktail curators, you will find many a great drink and in particular, they have some original cocktails that are a must. The 'Garibaldi Punch' made using four pillars gin, campari orange, marmalade and rosemary bitters was a great gin based cocktail. The 'Rosetta' was savoury tasting cocktail of campo de encanto pisco, fino sherry, strawberry cherry tomato, rose and basil and was beautiful mix of flavours. We also enjoyed Rhonda's take on an old fashioned, called the 'Sicilian Godfather', this choc orange cocktail consisted of monkey shoulders whisky, drambuie, solerno, blood orange, balsamic, choc bitters and it was a quality version of the old fashioned food. We thoroughly recommend visiting and catching up with friends for a drink or two here. Food wise, you'll find authentic Italian, served is made using premium quality local ingredients and the menu offering antipasto, wood fired pizza and pasta made from scratch. The Antipasto share board will get you in the mood for your dining experience. The array of delights includes a mix of quality cured meats including; salami casalingo, brescaola and Parma ham. There is also light a creamy buratta, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, zucchini and fresh grissini bread. Other entrees include foccaia, olives, king prawns or bruschetta. Perfect to accompany your cocktail or glass of wine. Rhonda's have a range of tomato and white base woodfired thin crust pizza, made using wholemeal flour, a great option to share or enjoy your own. The 'La Diavola' is always a go to and did not disappoint, topped with buffalo mozzarella, pepperoni, Sopressa, chilli and rocket. There are plenty of options to choose from, whether you prefer chicken, mushroom or the classic margherita. Cooked in the authentic Italian way in the wood fired rotary oven. The pastas are made from scratch, using Stagioni flour and these are produced into classic combinations with phenomenal flavour. We loved the squid ink fettuccine, served on a vibrant blue glazed plate and was one that pleased all diners. The dish was very inviting with a delicious tomato based sauce, cherry tomatoes, a generous serving of sweet spanner crab meat and topped with fresh basil. Gnocchi is another go to, this dish was comforting with its pillow like dumplings, served with cubes of tender porkbelly and porcini, in a rich well balanced parma ham broth with truffle oil. Writing this post has me salivating about the flavours of this dish over and over again. To finish, we made room for dessert inspired by the nutella ravioli. With a crisp fried outer shell and then there is an explosion of nutella when you bite into it. A berry coulis cutting through the richness of the nutella and the vanilla ice cream complementing this dessert. They also have gelato made in house using seasonal flavours. As an added bonus they have a $12 Pasta special on Saturday 12noon till 5pm and $12 Pizza special on Sunday from 12noon till 8pm. The food here is outstanding and perfectly apt for the clientele and location by the sea. We thoroughly recommend for you to head out of Sydney to visit the beautiful beach of Terrigal on the central coast and be sure to pop into Rhonda's.

The ambiance is beautiful if a little crowded between tables and the candles and formal waitstaff give the Letterbox a romantic feel. The food and wine list pairs nicely. The Letterbox has a seasonal menu and when I mentioned I had coeliac disease (I had called ahead) the staff were welcoming, accommodating and my dishes were excellent, including a superb risotto. It is a bit pricey for the Central Coast, but you get what you pay for and if you are looking for cuisine that is of a high standard, inventive and delicious, make a booking.

Not "across the road, can see the beach" on the beach, but actually right there at the top of 3 concrete steps that run down to the sand. You could spit on a sunbather if you wanted to.

The food is good - standard cafe fare, all nice without being especially creative - and the coffee is definitely good, but then again I could have been drinking sewer water and it would have tasted like Perrier because I was so transfixed by the view.

I recently went to Four Hands for a friends birthday. My friend has recently moved into the area…read moreand had heard good things about the restaurant so we were really looking forward to it. We arrived at the restaurant for our 6pm booking to be greeted with a "just a reminder we need you to leave by 7.45pm as we have to set up for our 8pm bookings"... What?! First I heard this!! We learnt that the bookings are done in sessions. There is 6pm or 8pm session. At the time of booking we were not made aware of this and only given the option of 6pm for dinner. We were still waiting on a couple of people to arrive which made the waitress edgy and keep reminding us over and over again about us moving on by 7.45 with a gentle "I don't want to rush you but"... Too late! We ordered drinks and the house bread and hummus dip. By 6.30pm some of the party hadn't shown up yet, we were advised it would be best to just order pizzas as the whole tapas and pizza experience would take time and would be best to try another time. So those of us that were there gave our orders which was returned with another reminder of our 7.45 curfew. By 7pm our last 2 friends had arrived they were followed to the table by the waitress and their orders were taken and issued another "I don't want to rush you but". Finally our pizzas arrived, we had the roasted chicken, peking duck, pepperoni and chilli prawn... Delicious! We finished our food with 10 minutes to spare. The waitress returned to our table to remind us that we have 10 minutes which wouldn't leave us enough time for dessert. A couple more drinks were ordered and the bill was requested. Our last drinks arrived as did the bill to which was met with our 7 minute warning. We paid, finished our drinks and left with 1 minute to spare. All in all the food (that we were allowed to order) was delicious but the fact that every time we saw the waitress we were reminded of our 7.45pm curfew with a "I don't want to rush you but" made the whole experience rushed and unenjoyable!!
