Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club Limited reviews
4 Star Review by Deb Newburn
Great customer service experience from booking on the phone to being seated for our Tuesday lunch. Friendly bar staff, relaxed atmosphere with vistas of water and moored boats. Great expectations on the food and this was sadly lacking for our dishes. Something for everyone on the menu and definitely enticing with the descriptions on offer. Prawn and chorizo linguine was one main that we thought would shine but it definitely missed the mark. Linguine cooked to perfection but prawns were hard and salty as if brined which clashed with the chorizo. Poor balance. Salad cherry tomato halves could have done with roasting to sweeten. More suitable in a salad and not seasoned at all. Very hearty serving and best suited for a more bland palate. Grilled chicken breast with cranberry and Persian feta was enjoyable when you trimmed the dried outer edges and found the better part of the centre cut. Roasted onion a very nice inclusion when you discarded the burnt outer shell and it added a nice flavour with chicken and cranberries. The beetroot puree was a nice addition but absolutely drowned the meal with it piped in large dabs around the entire plate and had you pushing the food to higher ground to save it from going under. All the ingredients are there for a nice lunch out with burger options and small starters and entrees. Our entree of 6 natural oysters and 6 kilpatrick were the star. The mignonette was light and fresh and complimented the fresh oyster perfectly. Not rushing back but would try something else on the menu if happen to be in the CBD again.

Food was first class. Would give a 5 star rating normally but unfortunately the entry staff were less than inviting (hoping its a one off) but everyone else has happy to be back to normal and couldn't be more welcoming.

"Never Again!" What a total disappointment! The "restaurant" was little better than a bistro situated next to the main bar. Orders taken there. Table service, appalling, huge delay and food brought out sporadically, the pork belly was undercooked and cold. When we asked for the dessert menu, "sorry, kitchen's closed!",. No warning, no service, no customers. Possibly the worst dining experience we've encountered. "Never Again!"....nice website
4 Star Review by David Edwards
A good place to have quality food and drink in comfort right on the edge of Newcastle Harbour. You can view the yauchts and motor cruisers that are moored right outside the front door. Sections of the club can be hired out for private functions. Certain dress rules do apply. The club bistro has a varied menu.
4 Star Review by T C
Went here for late lunch with a friend on a Saturday. Easy enter using the Service NSW app. Good quick service in the restaurant. Wines and champers by the glass. Fish and chips had zero salad except the lemon qedge, which was hilarious. Would be great if they had a bit more outside seating.
3 Star Review by Tee Pie
Food was ok but have had better. Expect a decent bill and they stop serving cocktails after 7.30pm. Staff are really friendly and with a great view.

1 Star Review by Scott N
Chips were very oily and overcooked and chicken schnitzel was small and gravy was ok but only a small amount. Overall a very dissapointing meal.
2 Star Review by tulipchic34
Very overpriced for the kind of dining experience I got. More of a bistro with a la carte prices. When it came to the birthday cake had to chase down plates and silverware from the staff, first time I had to bring a cake over to the table myself at any establishment I have been to.. People at our table waited an hour for food. My risotto was served tepid and looked like it had been sitting for a while. I would go back for an afternoon for drinks and bar snacks as it's in a great spot but wouldn't go back to the restaurant.
