Was quite busy when we went here, had a table cleared for us pretty quickly but it wasn't wiped down.
After waiting about 15-20 minutes and trying multiple times to get the attention of a waiter, we were able to order from an unhappy looking waiter.
The waiting time for the food was reasonable- about 10 minutes.
Food was delicious, full of flavour and meals were a generous size.
Apart from the staff, we will definitely go back again.

This review is for Craft & Co Burgers, Newcastle NSW

The spot is in a great location- right on the harbour and we could hear the band playing from the Brewery.
Burgers are a bit 'fancier' than other places but still reasonably priced.
We had the Sliders- 3 mini burgers as we couldn't decide what we felt like and a serve of sweet potato chips. Food was very tasty.
They also have a wide range on Craft beers to choose from.
Need to time it right as there aren't too many tables but we must have picked a good time as we were able to choose a table right out by the water.

Approximate cost: $12-15

Beautiful location overlooking the beach but hard to see of a night time.
Was a really busy night as there were a few big tables so unfortunately it was very loud and our service was slow.
Service from the kitchen was fine, not too long to wait on dishes. Food was good, but we'd been expecting better from the reviews we had read. (makes it hard when dining out with a chef, he will tend to pick every thing apart).
Possibly would go back there to try again on a quieter night.

Went here for our wedding anniversary. Amazing views over the water. Staff were very attentive.
Our seafood entrees were a little bit bland in flavour but the rest of the meal was delicious.
Can be a little bit expensive but were used the Entertainment voucher/card so that made it more affordable.

This review is for Chumley Warners Traditional British Fish And Chips, Warners Bay NSW

Thought we would try here to see what the difference between British fish n chips and Aussie fish n chips was.
When we 1st walked in we were pleasantly suprised that the staff were British, however they didn't greet us or speak to us until a few minutes after we had already been there a few minutes, but they then happily explained some of the menu that we were unfamiliar with to us.
The food was a bit more expensive than we usually pay but were willing to pay extra for good food.
We had the Haddock and chips and potato scallops, we left the faggots, haggis and mushy peas for another day, and 2 British soft drinks. The fish and scallops were good, a little greasy but still good but the chips were a let down. They were hand cut but they were soggy and over-cooked, really spoiled the experience for us.

This review is for Ronnies Flower Shop, Cardiff NSW

Been past this shop for ages but never really had the need to go in.
But I was after rainbow roses last week and out the front on their blackboard they were advertising them.
I was served by a very friendly lady who was able to order me exactly what I wanted, even when I had to call up a few days later to change the pick up date she was lovely and it was no problem.
I look forward to using Ronnies for more of my flower needs.

Went there for the 1st time.
Great atmosphere and location. Staff were attentive, though there didn't seem to be much communication between the waitstaff as we were sometimes asked the same things 2-3 times.
Food was delicious, a bit more on the expensive side but well worth what you pay for. They also do a kids menu which offers meals for smaller kids, as well older kids.

This review is for The Queens Wharf Brewery Hotel, Newcastle NSW

Great spot on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon.
They have a band out on the harbour, while you sit back with family or friends with a drink or bite to eat. Kids are also welcome outside.
They have a great menu with alot of the foods perfect for sharing. Food has always been delicious whenever I go there. Can't wait to go back.

This review is for Humble Pie Bakery, Billinudgel NSW

Stopped here on the way to QLD, as I'd heard these pies were fantastic but unfortunately they weren't open yet so we tried again on the way home.
As it was later in the day, there wasn't alot of choices left to choose from, but the ones we did get were delicious. There are vegetarian options available as well as frozen seconds to purchase and take with you.
You can dine inside or outside in their little oasis and forget that you are just metres from the highway.
1 tip- get in early to get the full range of pies.

Staff were very helpful, wanted an early check-in as we had to go to a wedding and they had the room ready for us 3 hours before their usual check-in time.
While the rooms were a little bit dated, they were clean and well kept.
Only concern was that the bathrooms didn't have much bench space to put stuff while getting ready.
Very easy to find and close to the shops. Didn't get to try out the pool but it looked very inviting.
