Wests Nelson Bay

Positive experience: Hi Love West's at Nelson Bay. Great food. Awesome. BUT wine need's to be changed. Glass of Chardonnay horrible. House chardie. Same for year's. Soldier's Point Bowling Club have a different one monthly. Lovely, instead of terrible house wine. Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Returned a week later Hawaiian Snitty delish, best meal so far. I fell in love with the stunning person clearing the tables wearing an arousing scentSorry had to be mentioned. A year later and another review this occasion dined up stairs to n the Brasserie. Well lit and warm, sunny seating for a winters day. Snitty was moist, though the crumb wasn't my fav, the prawn skewer topper was disappointing, very commercial, prawns welded on to skewer and the Hollandaise didn't really sing with this. The side salad was the best, freshest edible side salad I've ever received, anywhere!!!, The Salt and Pepper squid looked oily and the same crumb as the Snitty. I think this crumb is too oil absorbent. The chips weren't crispy and had no seasoning. The Onion rings in blue cheese sauce was squirted out of possibly a home brand container, no blue cheese flavour at all. Seemed more like a whole egg mayo. 1⭐Came for lunch. Difficult sign in technology issue. Dim lighting, gloomy. Mood lighting not really creating a sense of vibrancy by day. Menu quite 70's. I selected Chicken Schnitzel. Ready before I could sit down. The chips were not fresh. The salad was not chilled, or fresh. The schnitzel was reheated. Equivalent to a Macca's drive thru. Overall the vibe was gods waiting room Like to an aged care facility. It appears that Wests reply to reviews However from the amount of Low star reviews before mine, there has been no improvement. What has Chef got to say moving forward.

Fantastic experience: Excellent environment, friendly staff and great food.

Fantastic experience: Great club in a wonderful area of the world

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great service. Good food.

Positive experience: Nice place to relax and get together with friends and family.

Positive experience: Good local, classic RSL. Very friendly fellas at entrance and upbeat staff... Generally lol. Haven't tried food upstairs although is always pretty busy so would assume it's a bit!

Positive experience: Probably the best pizza iv had it was perfect

Positive experience: We ordered and our buzzer went of within 15 minutes. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty and hot the food was. We only stopped in for dinner but it was well worth it. Will check out the amenities next time for sure

Positive experience: Great dinner for families. Portion sizes were generous and the chicken parma and roast was excellent. Kids calamari was tender. Friendly service

Negative experience: Staying locally and thought we would grab some takeaway from the bistro. Ordered the King Prawn and Mango Salad - it was absolutely disgusting. Canned slushy mango and cheap frozen prawns that were inedible. When I say frozen prawns I’m talking straight out of the freezer bag. Garlic bread was the cheap $3 loaf style from Coles and stone cold. Just horrible and disappointing.

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful time there and the food was great.

Positive experience: Great roast

Fantastic experience: Top meal, if you're look for a place to eat throughout the weeknight.

Fantastic experience: Food was great. Quick service. Yummy food.

Fantastic experience: Awesome food and reasonably priced

Positive experience: Lamb roast good. Burning ring of fire pizza good. Accept cash good.

Fantastic experience: The foods good Nice experience Gelato is good

Negative experience: Had a birthday dinner here recently, the food was slightly disappointing one of us had the lobster and couldn’t eat it as it was too tough, it was served on a bed of what we can only assume was powdered deb. For a $50 meal this was very disappointing.

Positive experience: Great food and beverages

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and good service and great meals

Fantastic experience: Parmi + pizzas were really nice, good atmosphere and clean facilities. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic RSL with great bars and brilliant food! Had my brother's 60th upstairs... Brilliant!! Good for families too!!

Fantastic experience: Located at 88 Shoal Bay Road, Nelson Bay, New South Wales, Australia I wonderful club. Our group came for dinner on our last night in Nelson Bay. We had a great time. First we went to the Bay Brasserie for dinner. I had the prawn fettuccine and it was delicious. The other people in my group enjoyed their meal also. A good portion too, I was very full. Then we went downstairs to watch the live music and ended up watching the Rock & Roll dancing . It was so entertaining. The club is really well laid out, very accessible and easy to get around. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. A very enjoyable evening. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs up!!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely food Quick service the evening we went. Prices are average, not cheap to eat out anywhere in Nelson Bay but food tasted very good.

Fantastic experience: Had dinner there very nice, staff friendly.

Fantastic experience: affordable food. lots of seatings.

Fantastic experience: We went for dinner tonight and had a lovely meal. The servings were very generous, lovely atmosphere & staff are friendly. Highly recommend coming for a meal when staying in the area.

Fantastic experience: Resto is good, though rsls etc not cheapish like used to be (are tgere any cheap places anywhere). Im writing this review coz food in resto was v good and staff were exceptional. Have to say the ice cream was excellent with the biggest servings ive probably ever had. Thank you...

Positive experience: Enjoyed the lounge and friendly staff.

Positive experience: We drove from Newcastle and walked in the front door to find out there was no roast available for the day and the menu was very ordinary.

Fantastic experience: Great food and club. First time I’ve ever been and was impressed

Fantastic experience: Good food, good service, affordable meals

Fantastic experience: Great place for a nice meal and a show

Fantastic experience: Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Our dining experience was made extra special by the kind, friendly and helpful service given by the Bay Brasserie staff, Karen Lawrence. She took the initiative to wash my 2 grandchildren’s two dirty bibs and our own children’s suction plate and always gave us big smiles when she came to clear our table during the night. We came back the next night for dinner mainly due to the exceptional service from Karen plus the great Brasserie food and kid-friendly atmosphere. We were so glad to see Karen again and felt really at home because of her presence the second night. We certainly will return to dine here when we book our next holiday in Port Stephens!

Positive experience: Nicely set out club with lovely decor. The food was reasonable quality with very generous portions. Very weird that they don't have menus so you have to read the large menu sign and memorise everything or all go up together to order. All the staff were friendly.

Positive experience: Trivia Tuesday night

Fantastic experience: went to the bistro and found nothing vegan but the chef was summoned and whipped up a fantastic pasta for me after giving me some options, great service

Positive experience: Good value and good food. Make sure you pay the $5 for membership - you'll recoup the $5 and more very quickly. Not many GF options and no GF desserts.

Fantastic experience: Loved it!!

Fantastic experience: Nice club. Great food. Good serving

Positive experience: Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt und war sehr reichhaltig. Da die Öffnungszeiten auf Google nicht stimmten konnten wir in letzter Sekunde das Essen und ein Getränk bestellen und im Kantinen artigen Saal schnell verspeisen, während neben uns die Stühle schon mal hochgestellt wurden. Fürs romantisch Essen gehen ist das nichts. Tip an den Chef: Man merkt den Mitarbeitern an, wie sie geführt werden!

Fantastic experience: Good food at great prices with generous serving sizes

Fantastic experience: Fantastic ribs

Fantastic experience: Great meal and friendly staff meals were not to expensive

Fantastic experience: Great menu good food

Fantastic experience: We were so impressed how well they looked after us when we needed gluten free food. They make the best gluten free pizza here and they are so genuinely happy to help. Thanks guys. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great Atmosphere at West's. Fantastic Restaurant and Meals. Friendly Staff and Great Entertainment. If you are in Port Stephens, Nelson Bay You Must Visit.

Positive experience: Good place to eat Friendly staff

Negative experience: terrible security

Fantastic experience: Great food and value for money

Fantastic experience: A late night Coffee opportunity when all other cafes are shut! Xshot large Cappuccino and it definitely delivered,,, hit the spot full flavour, strong and clean taste all the way down to the bottom. I was actually surprised with the overall experience I had here would definitely plan to comeback for another next time and a Gelato as well

Negative experience: very disappointed I ordered steak med 600g with potatoe an vegetables what I got was a rare steak with majority fat also with Deb packet potato dry vegetables had to take it back why I watched my family eat by the time another meal came out again everyone was finished and again it was only med on a tiny portion again majority fat and under cooked dry vegetables and packet potatoes by that time I was over trying to attempt to carve the steak apart from the fat again I returned it for a refund atleast the staff was great then I got to the gaming lounge and losse 150 in the pokies in under 10mins playing $1.25 bets ordered a beer upsize to at pint and halfway through drinking it found the rim of the cup to have slimy dry skin stuck to it so I left will gladly never return here again

Positive experience: It's changed a lot over the years, and I think I prefer the 90s version better. The dishes are expensive and beer is more expensive than my local in Sydney. The food was okay, but hard to justify the price. They have a wonderful display of war goods. It's not really the place to go for a reasonable family dinner, but there are few options in this area.

Negative experience: The food was pretty average. We had a large group and the feedback was that the roast Pork was too dry, chicken wasn't cooked through, and burgers were bland. They were professional enough to refund the chicken meal but it still soured our experience.

Negative experience: After spending hundreds of dollars on a weekly basis......not winning anything BUT AS A MEMBER YEEPEE you get to swipe your card to get 3 pieces out of the vending machine. Being a member for the last 10 years, in the beginning I oppted for the nut section instead of the chocolate one. 10 years ago the nut section was always stayle.......and to my surprise they still are.......you might not even be aware of this but please ask your supplier to remove all of their nut/pretzel section. Very disappointing venue

Fantastic experience: Vegetarian burger was AMAZING!!! and I'm not even vegetarian but I would become a vegetarian just to eat that burger again and again

Positive experience: Food is great, kids meal is HUGE. Does not provide take away cutlery.

Positive experience: Had half a dozen local oysters and good value seafood basket .

Fantastic experience: Lovely location

Positive experience: Enjoyed a wonderful meal at west's. The roast of the day was Pork and was served in good time and was delicious and filling. There is ample seating and was a pleasant experience not being too noisy.

Fantastic experience: Çok keyifli ortamda nefis lezzetli yemekler. Güleryüzlü çalışanlar.

Negative experience: A long line to order food, and a long wait and food is disappointingly mediocre. Went to order ginger beer and got given diet ginger beer instead, which I didn't realize. Once realized, took the 2 opened drinks back and they told me that the bartender had asked if I am happy with diet drink which I didn't hear at all. The funny thing is, there was normal ginger beer right next to it, so it's a mystery why they would not just give what they were asked for, instead of supposedly asking if I want diet, which I didn't hear. They were hesitant to swap since drinks were opened. Disappointed overall, even though reluctantly they replaced them with normal ginger beer which is what I asked for, however it was patronizing treatment.

Fantastic experience: Lovely place. Great staff

Positive experience: Was staying 4nights went for dinner raffles just happened to be on so joined food was great raffles even better went 3nights in a row won every night found it very enjoyable and friendly will be back

Fantastic experience: Best club facility in Port Stephens.

Positive experience: Nice meal, good atmosphere and music.

Positive experience: Nice club, cheap drinks, nice food, good live music.

Positive experience: Good variety of food. Some beer choices, not much for the craft beer lovers

Positive experience: Food was fast, unfortunately it was cold. Cold Hawaii parmigiana and cold chips. A little disappointed.

Positive experience: The convenience of having a venue capable of accommodating our large group when we visit each year is fabulous. It’s clean, the food arrives in a timely fashion and the atmosphere is always nice. The only disappointment I have is the bang for buck. It’s on the pricey side for what it’s worth.

Positive experience: Great service and great food

Positive experience: We came to this club for the karaoke, and it was an experience! The club was beautiful, and the karaoke room was comfortable with plenty of seating and had a great stage. There were around 22 singers that night, the host said this was the busiest it’s ever been. The host started the karaoke earlier than 7:30 pm and it finishes at 10:30pm. The host used books and a laptop to keep track of the singers' names and used lights and two wired microphone's on stage. Go check it out!

Fantastic experience: Experience was absolutely lovely! I wasn't sure if they catered to certain dietary requirements, and when I explained my diet to the chef, he offered to make up a beautiful vegan pasta for me. The service was beautiful and food 10/10. I absolutely recommend anyone to come here. The staff, especially the chef, were extremely kind and catering and I'm very glad I went. The food was delicious too and I got to save some for later.

Positive experience: Ok club rude guy on reception considering your a visitor was expecting a more pleasant experience when u are signing in

Positive experience: Great food. Decent atmosphere. Nice beer on tap.

Positive experience: Lunch at Bay upstairs. Today's Roast/Pork + roasted veggie+ apple souce. Luke warm, must be cooked earlier and not a hot food when its served. Not impressed. Shame.

Fantastic experience: The meals there was really nice. It has been years since I have been there and it looks really nice. Great atmosphere and friendly staff greeting you at the front door. Would recommend them to anyone.

Positive experience: Nice venue. The Brassiere has a good selection and at a reasonable price.

Fantastic experience: The knights burger is still THE BEST! All their food so far has been great. Service is friendly. Price is good too.

Positive experience: Attended with a group of 13 and the meals came out pretty quickly considering how busy the restaurant was and the meals were considered good value for money by all and I will have no hesitation of going back.
