The Point Restaurant

This place is the ultimate. It is right on the water over looking boats and the water. The service was exceptional. The food was probably the best I have ever eaten. We had the opportunity to meet the chef and if I told you his nationality you would not believe it. I am just blown away by this restaurant we live in Newcastle but we have made a promise to visit at least once a month. We done to staff and chef 15 out of 10.

Stunning location and we were blessed to have a perfect sunset that night! Service was friendly and food came out quickly and was very tasty. Thank you for making the first night of our weekend away so enjoyable! :)

Despite some recent negative reviews about the service, we had an amazing meal and amazing experience with the staff. Makes you wonder if the negative reviews say more about the patrons than the staff 🤷🏼‍♂
Anyway, we asked for flexible booking time so we could come along right after feeding our newborn, and it was no issue. We were greeted by warm and cheery wait staff who also gave us our space when needed.

We enjoyed the starters of the sashimi platter - amazing high quality and thick cut fish. The tuna was… insane. And the seared scallops and crispy pork belly. The scallops were cooked perfectly, the pork was crispy but maybe a tad dry.

For mains, the seafood chowder was amazing! Easy to overlook but on a colder autumn evening it was just what I needed. A nice large serve with crispy bread and some of the best mussels I have ever tasted. I assume all their mussel dishes use the same produce and will be just as tasty. We also had the bug and prawn linguine which was similarly delicious and had heaps of fresh basil and tomato!

Finally we shared the desert tasting for 2, which was the perfect portion size. The deconstructed cheesecake looked very strange (I laughed loudly!) and it did feel a bit unnecessary to “deconstruct” cheesecake- but it was very very nice.

Overall a wonderful experience and so glad we chose it for our first dinner date without our newborn (thanks to my mother in law for babysitting!)

Had a wonderful evening. Staff were very friendly and obliging. Food, cocktails and wine were superb. Sunset views were brilliant. Will definitely return.

Fantastic service, terrific food and a sunset to die for. We went for my birthday last night and chose the oysters kilpatrick, Italian mussels, barramundi as fish of the day, prawn and mussel linguini, and fish pie followed by the dessert tasting plate. Everything was cooked to perfection and the tastes were sensational. Highly recommend.

After reading many and varied reviews we were a little wary. In all honesty, we could not fault any part of our dining experience. Both wait staff were warm, friendly and efficient. We were given a very good table inside with an incredible view west of the marina, oyster leases and islands. We took a while to select from the menu; all choices sounded appealing. My husband settled on the seared scallops and pork belly for entree and I chose the sashimi plate. For mains, he chose the scotch fillet while I had the barramundi. All of the food was delicious, fresh and generous in serving. We didn't have to wait great lengths of time for food to arrive. The restaurant was not busy - a total of nine tables. Overall, we were most impressed and can't wait to return.

Celebrating my husband Birthday at The Point restaurant this evening and we had a wonderful time!! the sunset views was just spectacular!! Food, drinks and services were excellent!! Highly recommend.

Just beautiful with the most picturesque views and the meals are exceptional. Wine list gets my approval and I’m fussy. Beers are good served in pilsener glasses and the menu isn’t overloaded with expensive options. Will go again. Will recommend and will take more photos

Food was excellent, staff were friendly and the location was amazing. Jo did a great job of looking after us and her recommendations were on point. Thanks for a lovely lunch.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner for our friend tonight. Food was amazing and service superb !!! And the location and views of the bay and sunset exceeded of all our expectations. Thank you to the whole team from The Point Restaurant!!!!

Possibly the nicest Seafood Platter we have had. Normally you need to order the Signature Seafood Platter 48hrs in advance, but they still provided it when we arrived early. Beautifully cooked mussels , BBQ lobster and scallops, fresh prawns etc. all was very lovely and the view from the outside tables over a gorgeous sunset was “to die for”.

Superb water views from the outdoor dining area. Excellent spot for watching sunset while you wait for your meal. Great food and drinks in a relaxing atmosphere.

I would recommend The Point Restaurant to everyone - the food was fantastic!

Our waiter swapped our table for us when we arrived so we had a window seat with a view of the harbour. We had some of the biggest oysters and muscles we had ever eaten, and the octopus and scallops were mouth-wateringly delicious!
I’d recommend the espresso martini’s to finish too.

Thank you so much for your fantastic service last night, it was certainly a night to remember.

My second time coming to this restaurant and it did not disappoint. We had the seafood platter and it was absolutely fantastic. The seafood was fresh and watching the sunset while dining was divine.

Beautiful lunch at The Point Restaurant today, could not fault it. Food was amazing, wine delicious, stunning views and service and recommendations from Grace spot on! Thank you!

Definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. We’ll be back for sure.

Great food and service, staffs are very friendly, beautiful view from the outdoor balcony, would love to revisit

Beautiful location - Great Service.
Scallop and Pork Belly absolutely Yum!

Got there just before sunset so could appreciate the waterfront, nice ambiance and relaxed but very attentive staff. The seafood platter we shared was absolutely amazing, fresh and beautifully cooked /prepared.

Amazing food and presentation, friendly staff and a really lovely location. I got the 3 courses for $40 and it was such great value for money with lots of choice.

Everything we ordered was gorgeously yummy and the service was outstanding. The setting is a no brainer. Right on the water. We had a great experience last Saturday night. We were served by Mica who was absolutely lovely. There was a minor mishap with our order which was promptly acknowledged and compensated with complimentary desserts. We were so impressed by the service and food quality. Will definitely be coming back here. Thank you
