This Is A Almost A Tourist Attraction In Itself For Port Stephens!
Reviewed By theminiaturekitchen
We were passing through Nelson Bay and decided to grab a quick bite at Red Ned's. Walking in you realise there isn't much Seating space, and a wall covered in awards, and news clippings about the small pie shop. With over 50 different varieties, it really is impressive how many types of pies they made right from classic Australian beef, to pork, chicken, vegetarian and sweet pies too. The sheer number of awards is enough to get you ultra excited about what lies ahead. Service here is very friendly, and the ladies were more than happy to help us make our selection. We went all vegetarian, and chose the zucchini and sweet potato pie, the deluxe vegetarian pie and the satay vegetarian pie. My favourite of the all was definitely the zucchini and sweet potato pie which was packed with delicious flavour. The best part of the pies was 100% the delicious flaky and buttery pastry. The satay vegetarian pie unfortunately didn't have much of a satay flavour, and instead had hints of spice and chili. Again the pastry was delicious, but the filling didn't quite do it for me. Similarly with the deluxe vegetarian pie, the filling was a little dry :( By the looks of it there best pies are the beef pies, so ofc go ahead and try those. If you are vegetarian, then I recommend the zucchini and sweet potato pie for sure! Keen to try the sweet pies here too :D

Had the lunch special for $29. Choice of 2 main courses, followed by a desert (just one option but pannacotta so who cares!) and accompanied by a glass of house wine.
Unlike some lunch specials, the servings were generous and the house wine was very drinkable.
As always the views are spectacular.
The menu changes every month, so we'll be back next month.

Open for dinner Tuesday to Saturday from 5.30pm
Reviewed By Sally S - Sydney, Australia
Another great dinner at Sandpipers. Loved the prawn hotpot, so full of garlicky & chilli flavour. For mains we had the pork belly which was tender & had crispy crackling and the market fish, Mahi Mahi was excellent.
So together with efficient service and BYO, you can't go wrong.

Reviewed By Richard T - Lake Macquarie, Australia
Since my last review I have dined several times at The Deck with my wife and friends, the last time being today. Service is always efficient and friendly. The food is constantly good, with an excellent moussaka.The lamb dishes are high quality. The restaurant has a small but adequate wine list, but you can bring your own wine, not beer. Reservations are necessary on weekends, however we recently lunched on a Tuesday and all was very relaxed.Very happy to continue to return, and to recommend this restaurant to first timers

Another amazing Italian meal at the Pasta Di Porta cafe with wonderful company.
Do your self a favour if your heading to Nelsons Bay or Anna Bay to take your freezer bag and ice packs to fill after you've had the the best coffee and indulged in Vennessa's scrumptious cannoli.
If I remember right they won 19 medals at this years Sydney Royal including Champion at show for their Quattro Formaggi and spring onion ravioli.
You too can serve up an authentic Italian meal in minutes.
They have something for everyone, my favourite ravioli is the Slow cooked Lamb Shanks, fresh rosemary and white wine. Plenty of vegetarian including a wonderful lasagna, a ravioli filled with blue swimmer crab or just their superb spaghetti and linguine kept in the freezer in bundles and thrown in boiling water for several minutes and thrown together with what ever your heart desires.
You will not regret a visit but don't forget to bring the freezer bag and someone strong to lift into the car. May Dom , Peter and family continue to produce these authentic Italian delights for many years. Give them a ring for lunch booking.

We used to love this place - it really was outstanding. The food is still good but the staff are surly and unfriendly. It makes such a difference to the experience. One of my guests and I were horrified by the single use plastic straws in the water bottles - come on guys, raise your game.
10. The Little Nel Cafe

A leafy cafe popular with the locals, just off the main street and worth searching out for the best coffee in town.
Reviewed By Dennis T - Asia
We stayed at The Nelson Resort and decided to try the breakfast after Reading the good reviews. We ordered bacon and eggs; we enjoyed the meal and the experience. The bacon is nice but poached eggs not hot, taste like it’s been done and left there for awhile. Other than that coffee was good and staffs very friendly and attentive.
