I really want to rate this restaurant higher but I'm that irritated by the pretentious menu that I…read morecan't. I knew it would be on the pricier side given it is in the Hunter Valley but when my partners 250g scotch fillet was placed on the table I felt bad for him. Nearly $40 for a piece of meat on a large plate with a wedge of lemon and a small gravy boat of rosemary jus. I guess I'm not accustomed to 'fine dining' servings but that is ridiculous. Now... pommes frites. $9 for a side of French fries! I didn't inquire. Were they just fancy named chips? Or were they prepared in more detail; twice fried using animal fat? They were tasty but not necessarily special. Also ordered a $9 side of heirloom carrots with labneh and dukkah. I loved the different coloured carrots and have taken a liking to labneh of late. My 8hr slow braised lamb shoulder was amazing. Once again a pricey meal but at least it was a larger serving and came with a big slice of roasted pumpkin with yoghurt. The lamb fell apart beautifully. The atmosphere was nice for dinner with low lighting and soft music. I don't know that I'd return but at least I'll be better prepared if I do.

LOVE this restaurant! The food is wonderful and the staff are lovely! The atmosphere is great too!…read moreNot a cheap place to dine but definitely worth it! Can't wait to go back!

If you want to know if you should come here - go somewhere else. Service is slow. Took 20 minutes…read moreto get a drink but we were the only people there. Way too many servers just standing around not doing anything. Food took almost an hour and was super disappointing. Not worth the price at all. Go somewhere else.

A newly opened restaurant, in the newly built Rooftop, on New Years Eve..... Loud, busy and staff…read moreurgent to clear tables to get out of there! Definitely reserve your table at this stage until the hype subsides. I find steak/rib houses to be overpriced and Lone Star is no different. But a new experience for me was the 15 minute specials. Staff ring the bell and announce the new saving eg: $4 coronas or $3 cocktails for the next 15 minutes. I realize it's a way for them to make quick cash but with a table of 11 people it's terrific for everyone to enjoy something that price would usually deter them from having. (Cocktails were $11-$13) The menu is interestingly worded and covers your usual favourites. The food was tasty and overall well presented. And yes... If you are the shy type, they do the 'make-a-scene' it's your birthday song so be prepared!

Decadent/ quirky styling, great atmosphere, we checked in at 5:45pm before the dinner rush,…read morefollowed shortly by a classical guitarist. Food was delicious, service efficient and pleasant. You always feel like you are in good hands when the waitress doesn't feel the need to write your order down. Reasonably priced if you share some tapas between you @$50-60 per head with drinks (2) Views are amazing too if it day light hours, will definitely pop back when next in Newie.

Decor a little intense - but the view of the beach is still lovely!…read more Service is quick and friendly and the food is great! Perfect for a weekend lunch with friends or family event. Nice for sharing but probably could do individual meals as well. Everyone I've ever been there with has loved it.

Bec and her team were outstanding and took the hassle out of organising everything. The menu was excellent, the quality and presentation of food was 1st class, and the service staff friendly, professional and super-efficient. If you're looking for a function venue on the Central Coast, I can't recommend Splash highly enough. You will have a stress-free experience with great food, great views and a very helpful and flexible management and staff. Well done, Splash!

American style pizza/burger restaurant with a good selection of starters (sliders, korean tacos,…read moregarlic pizza) and mains (burgers and pizza). My friend and I decided to each get a burger. I got the wagyu deluxe and was presently surprised that it came with onion straws (thin crispy onion rings!)! The bun was great but unfortunately I was very disappointed with the patty which was cooked well-done with poor quality beef - dry and unflavourful, hard to believe it was wagyu. My friend got the atomic deluxe which came with a very thick and crusty bread for bun. The fries had absolutely zero salt. I'm giving this place a 3 because there's a lot of potential. Most of their online reviews are quite poor so I think if they consider their customers suggestions they can really improve! Keen to try the pizzas next time.

Great location friendly staff. The only fault was we had to actually ask for plates and napkins…read more The pizzas were just bought out and placed on the table, we actually had to go back to the counter to ask for napkins and plates. Other then the plate issue highly recommend you visit, perfect for the whole family.

We just finished sandboarding and this was the closest place to grab some lunch…read more It just started raining, so it probably wasn't as busy as it would normally be since it overlooks the beach and the ocean. It's a big open naturally lit place. To make decision making easy, our family of 2 adults and 2 teens decided to are the "Tasting Plate for Two", which was more than enough for us. The entire plate was pretty decent . I think the calamari was easily the best part, as it was cooked tender. Lamb was a bit tough. Fish was nice. Burgers, salad and fries were average. Service was fine. Considering we just wanted something easy after sandboarding, this did the job. The tasting plate made it easy to pick a little bit of everything and without needing to over order. A nice relaxing view didn't hurt either.
