The steak was reasonable but a not quite as was requested (medium). The twice cooked duck well had... More

We were rocommended this place by our host at Ormiston House and got the last booking for the night. Really nice location overlooking the harbour although the setting sun was very bright (at least it was shining though!). Service was a little slow but they were busy. Nice wines and lovely fresh fish. Dessert was good too. More

A wonderful menu and superb location with the most charming staff. This is high end eating, it knocks spots of the rest for just a few dollars more. We went twice and then sadly had to leave town! More

This restaurant has a great outlook over Macquarie Harbour, we were able to watch the sunset and enjoy the cool breeze filtering in after a long hot day. The staff were friendly and helpful in a low key way and our meals were very pleasant. Servings were quite generous. Although we didn't have one the seafood platters looked to be... More

The restaurant is right along the waterfront with romanic view during the sunset....the staff was very friendly and helping us for taking family photos without we asked for assistant. Food was good and exceeded our expectation with oriental influence. We had a very pleasant dinner there from the service, food and ambience around the restaurant. More

Staying at Risby Cove we ate at the restaurant twice (we feasted on crayfish in our room on another night). The food was delicious and the service very friendly. We shared the wonderful seafood platter on the second night. It was fresh, delicious and no batter in sight!! The beautiful sunset was an added bonus. More
