Amazing food but unfortunately this place was very quiet when other places were really busy. I am so glad we came here to help support such a lovely restaurant. Only tip is to serve cocktails in correct glasses (Bellini in champagne flute, margaritas don't go in Martini glasses etc) but otherwise this place deserves to be busy. Will happily come back. Also, PLENTY of gluten free options which is incredibly rare for Italian restaurants in general.

Dined in the restaurant last night. Husband and I had a delicious meal, in a beautiful setting. Best food I’ve had since my coeliac diagnosis a few months ago. Many gluten free options. The staff were fantastic, accommodating and courteous. Addressed us by name! I had also dined in the Below Deck cafe for lunch the day before, with my sister and three adult nieces. That meal was so good that I just had to go back. One of our party was vegan, so even she was very happy with the menu choices.

Great surprising find for us as regular Nelson bay foodies. Great entrees (loved the chilli lime oysters) mains (gamberi prawn pasta, butter chicken and gluten free pizza option…prawn coconut curry all recommend), coffees (best soy late had in Nelson bay) and desert all yum. Topped off by great service. We will be back with others…
Bub's Famous Fish & Chips
1 Teramby Rd, Nelson Bay, Australia
Mixed reviews with some loving the fresh barramundi and crispy batter; self-service setup and extra charges for sauces are worth noting.

Highly skeptical as the ratings and reviews were split. Wasn’t my first choice of fish and chips but it was the only one opened on the day that I was there. Here goes - not too bad, fish was seasoned, batter is crispy but not too thick (apparently gluten free), barramundi is better than the regular (taste fresh, while the other seems frozen). Calamari is good but I prefer my beer batter calamari than this batter. Don’t expect services as it is self service - and even sauces are chargeable.
