Amazing view. A little bit pricey but worth it for the location. Good food. Good options for beer both on tap or in the can. Just such a great view. Kids can play on the beach while you can have a drink and a bite to eat watching over them!
Fabulous restaurant, friendly and polite staff, great location and views!! Food came out fast, was well presented and tasted amazing. Cocktails were great! Would highly recommend and would definitely come back.
What a beautiful place . Great location and good customer service nice coffee . You need to get there early due to large traffic of people and parking you need to be lucky for the parking . Great little beach for the kids and walking track . Get there early is a must . Beautiful view and relaxing.

THE COWRIE RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Under new ownership and management but just as amazing as ever. We came years ago for our first ever valentine’s and been back since then with the in-laws and now with our toddler for our wedding anniversary. From start to finish it was an exceptional dining experience and the food and wines were magnificent. Thanks to Michael, Dimitri and the rest of the team there; we are very choosey and all expectation surpassed. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. - Robert S
The food, the view, the service are all amazing. Best spot on the coast for a lunch with a view or a special dinner. Highly recommended for a fine dining experience on the Coast. The potato puree and steak with truffle a clear favorite for me! - Shayne O
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. From first greeting at the door the staff were wonderful. The atmosphere feels so much more welcoming and friendly. This was the first time we visited since new management and was such a breath of fresh air. Our drinks and a little complimentary taster came out nice and quick for us to take in with our amazing views by the window. We had a few dietary requirements and the staff were more than happy enough to assist. The food was prompt and perfectly spaced between courses. It was full of flavour and presented well, we were very happy with portion sizes and the taste, amazing. The restaurant was busy and full of customers by now, but the quality was on point the whole time. Desert, we had to try it all, I'm a fan of sweets and could not say no. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended and alr - Blake C

YELLOWTAIL RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Dined here recently and it did not disappoint. Service was warm and friendly and the food was consistent from start to finish. Big standout was the kingfish tartare with mandarin from the chefs menu. Only thing I’m annoyed about is that I haven’t visited sooner!
The chef pick 5-course menu was amazing. I thought I was attending the grand finale of MasterChef. Everything was cooked to perfection— the texture, the detail, the presentation & of course the sauce. Cocktails & mocktails were delicious too. Great service & ambiance. A must try when you visit the Central Coast.
Came for a group of 3 on a Saturday long weekend. The restaurant staggered the seatings and service was efficient. Everything was delicious, especially the oysters and the tempura pumpkin, and seafood cooked perfectly. It's a small restaurant so if you want to go for a nice meal out in Terrigal, book early.
