Babbingtons

Contemporary Australian dining with a relaxed atmosphere, with floodlit views over the natural bush

Reviewed By krwilson55

WE booked in for Christmas lunch here as the previous year we had a great time.What a disappointment it was this year though.We ordered the Cheese platter to start.It came to the table with a few crackers for the three of us.I am not a great lover of soft cheese but there was only on hard cheese to be had.The Main was a help yourself.I had the meat,vegetables,potatoes and gravy.The best way that i can describe the meal apart from the gravy is that the cheese was warmer than the main meal apart from the lukewarm gravy.I know there is a fine line between keeping food hot and letting it dry out,but come on,they are suppose to be professionals working here.With the money they charged i would have been better off with a plate of cold meat and a salad,something that not even they could get wrong.I only wish that i could give them no stars but i can't.So the one star goes to the staff in the dining room and nothing for the so called kitchen staff.

Hippo Espresso

Reviewed By Terry F - Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I met up with a couple of friends on my way up the coast from Sydney to Coff's Harbour. The patio affords a nice view of the lake but also is a bad place to be caught in a sudden downpour.
I had a flat white and a lime tart. which was moved quickly inside when the rain started. The staff were friendly, the restaurant clean and well kept. If you are looking for somewhere quiet this is probably not your best choice - it is "family friendly" but there is a play room at the back of the restaurant so the sound of children is not overwhelming! (unless you moved to the back of the restaurant when the rain started). I live in Toronto - the Hippo Express is close to Toronto but not the same one. I'll bet it is a lot warmer in Toronto NSW than here today!

Vistana Malaysian Restaurant

Reviewed By 2mumies - Sydney, Australia

Well what a great experience the food was authentic and very very tasty. I stumbled across this restaurant and I was not disappointed in most cases food is catered for the westerners palate but, not this place. We decided to eat in however, the takeaway orders were walking out the door one after another. This is certainly a restaurant that require many return visits which is now programmed in the the GPS.

Lims Kitchen

Reviewed By simon j

Food was very bland and flavouless. Will never go back again. Not good value for money. We tried this restaurant to compare it to our other local chinese takeaway. Does not compare at all. Im not a food expert but this was definitely not good food.

Brown Sugar

Reviewed By Doza17 - Warners Bay, Australia

We cane here for our anniversary so they made sure to give us a seat by the window, the food was very good but the view of the lake as the sun went down was worth it.

Thai Square

Reviewed By old49er - New York City, New York

We visited Thai Square with a booking for 30. Staff were gracious, and food was excellent. Service could have been quicker, but that gave us time to chat, and catch up. Yes, we'll be back, the curries recommend themselves!

Awaba House Restaurant & Cafe

Reviewed By Oldandnew - Newcastle

Chose this restaurant because it was my husband's birthday & we had dined here before with great success. It was a lovely evening all round with delicious food, charming service, quality wines and a peaceful & intimate setting.
The tiramisu was a special surprise...the best I have had.

Bella Beans

Reviewed By HeathNSW - Lake Macquarie, Australia

This quaint sized Café offers very convenient location with the privacy of a mall location rather than main thoroughfare, inside and outside dinning with excellent personable service. Try the Eggs Benedict…my personal favourite. Obviously the coffee is excellent.

Lilly Thai Takeaway

A small takeaway shop in Warner Bay NSW Australia, cooking delicious and authentic Thai food. Serving dishes like Pad Thai, Mussaman Curry, and Satay Chicken.

Reviewed By Dave_Guia - Magenta, Australia

What a pleasant surprise that the Lilly Thai delivered with our eat-in experience. The variety of items was far greater...i.e. not just Thai food, but other Indian and Chinese influenced items. We were happy with large portions and all fresh ingredients. Good service too!

Lena's Lakeside Cafe

Reviewed By Cheryl N - Mykonos Town, Greece

30th birthday celebration a huge success. We were able to have privacy in side room for speeches and games. Food was pre ordered and delivered promptly, hot and very tasty. Staff very helpful with suggestions for meal options (we had breads, mains, dessert cake , coffee and corkage) very reasonable price for quality food and generous portions. Definitely recommended for family or work function.
