Ocean Restaurant and Bar - Blue Bay in New South Wales

"The food was absolutely sensational and my favourite dish was the steak which I gobbled in a few bites because it was so good! I recommend going here if you want to enjoy really high quality food in the Central Coast and want to dine at a place with amazing ocean views. The service was also very top notch."

"We recently celebrated our father's 90th birthday here! Service was very friendly and accommodating. Views from the windows out to the ocean are outstanding! As is the food we enjoyed. Best calamari we've ever tasted. My angus fillet cooked spot on, while everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fish dishes. We brought along our own birthday cake. When it was time, our table staff offered us the option of wether to have t brought out and let us cut it into serves, or have their excellent chef cut it up and plate for us. I opted to let chef handle the cutting and serves. And he plated it beautifully (as was all his dishes) for us to enjoy. Looking forward to dining here again. Thank you very enjoyable experience."

"Just celebrated Valentine’s Day with my hubby. The lunch set menu was perfect, as hubby is not a big fun of seafood but still able to order some non-seafood dishes. The portion was very generous and tasty. The service was great too. The only thing needs a bit of improvement is the air flow of the corner seating area that far away from the fans or AC. The ladies next to the window had to open the window widely and the flies from outside kept flying around, which was a bit annoying while we were enjoying the food. Other than that, I’d recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy the ocean view and quality food."

"A hidden gem on the central coast, the decor is very simple but nice, which makes you concentrate on the fantastic ocean view. The staff were amazing, very friendly relaxed and informative. The food came out surprisingly fast considering it was packed. The quality of the food was 5 star and the menu is different to most restaurants, the Belgian chocolate delice was simply amazing, Highly recommended, make sure you book in advance…"

"Wonderful ocean views from just about every table. Not much in the way of outdoor seating. Service was excellent and food delicious!"

"We enjoyed our dinner. The food was very good however we were disappointed when we received a Balmain bug instead of lobster with our main meal which was called something like "Ocean & Earth" on the menu however I notice it's not on the online menu now. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice albeit a little crowded. We would like to return again and hope to do so when we can make the most of the view which I'm sure would be awesome."

"We were seated by the windows with a beautiful, uninterrupted view of the ocean, which instantly set the tone for a relaxed and special meal. We ordered à la carte and were glad we did. We noticed a few couples around us ordering the two-person seafood platter and leaving a lot of the fried items untouched, so choosing individual dishes felt like the smarter option. For starters, we had the Four Tastes of the Sea, scallop sashimi and calamari fritti. The scallops were outstanding — fresh, delicate and perfectly prepared — and easily one of the highlights of the night. Our main was the Black Angus Riverina steak with whisky mushroom sauce and pear salad. The steak was cooked beautifully and full of flavour, and the buttered scallops were a definite standout. Dessert was the apple pie, which was a comforting and satisfying way to finish the meal. The cocktails leaned a bit too fruity for my personal taste — I tend to prefer classics — so we opted for a glass of rosé and Spanish Granache wine instead. The wine list is fairly basic but solid, with good options to suit most people. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. As with many coastal towns, especially during holiday periods, it’s worth expecting a bit of a wait for food as the kitchen can get busy, but the quality and setting make it worthwhile. Bookings are essential. Overall, a lovely dining experience with great views, friendly service and some truly excellent dishes. We’d happily return."

"A nice spot by the sea. I went for dinner (September) so no view. I’d definitely book it for lunch next time, for the view. Food was excellent and service was too. We both had the fish of the day, Barramundi. Lovely!"
