10/10 !!!! Everything about this little hidden gem is amazing. The location, the atmosphere the friendly staff who greeted us upon arrival and explained the menu to us, the cocktails the service. We even had the chef come to our table and ask how our food was. You can tell how passionate he was about his restaurant and cooking. I left feeling so impressed and now dying to go back and support this local small business in the future!

We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Food, service and setting was top class. It was our first visit but felt like we were dining with friends. A lovely touch at the end with the Chef popping out to greet us. Thanks for an amazing Valentines Day dinner

What an incredible restaurant! The views, the staff, the food! Absolute hidden gem! I was really impressed by the young wait staff, they were really knowledgeable about the menu and able to answer all of our questions. The orange roughy fish was a standout. We look forward to dining here again.

An amazing find on our Sydney to Byron Road Trip we needed some where we could bring our dog in with us as she was recovering and they had beautiful stool seating outside. I didn’t get to take a photo of all the dishes we had as I dug right in and forgot. The Chef and Owner are a husband and wife team, you can really feel their love and presence in the food and service.
We had the stuffed zucchini flowers, pippies, oysters and lobster. So much on the menu to come back and try, they work with all the local food producers and the menu really reflected the flavors of the sea with local snails and squid stuffed with hermit crab.
It’s rare to find a decent sticky chai or a good tea selection in a restaurant that makes good food and The Poyer’s delivered! Cannot wait to come back!
Thank you!

We live in Sydney and came here for holiday. Had the best dinner experience at the Poyers with my family. Menu is impressive and creative, has some seafood dishes that are quite rare to find in Sydney. Food is delicious and staff are lovely.

We were looking forward to coming here for along time. The food was fantastic and did not disappoint! We got the following:
. Kids fish, mash & veg- Really tasty for a kids meal
. Oysters – Delicious
. Rabbit tortellini – Perfect texture for the pasta, the sauce and accompaniments were really tasty. Only thing is the rabbit filling was on the small side
. King fish Ceviche – Fantastic
. Stuffed zucchini flowers – Really tasty
. ⭐Orange roughy – Absolutely faultless and the best dish of the day
. Creme brulee – Really nice. Perfect texture
Just to note though that I would have given 5 star’s but found the staff the be quite inattentive, we felt a little ignored.
Nice venue and delicious food so would recommend and return.

WOW! Incredible all round! Emailed to book as it was after hours and got a confirmation quickly (also after hours). Appreciated placing us at a window table with the view as we were there to celebrate two birthdays. The owners were there working with the staff, chef owner came and saw us after our meal which felt lovely. The atmosphere was a lovely, high end family run restaurant. Service was prompt and food was INCREDIBLE! So fresh, bursting with flavours. We had, and highly recommend: Kingfish cervice (special), raw beef entree- not sure of the name (special), truffle oil Parmesan oysters, lamb shoulder, swordfish (special) and OH MY…. The.. lobster!!! Quite $$$ but being a special occasion we splurged. And could not be disappointed in any $ they was dropped. Delicious! Despite the menu saying it was ‘à l’americaine style’ it was very Thai flavoured in a herb filled sauce with rice which was incredible, light and summery full of fresh flavour. I think the American style is just as it’s served for using your hands with bone crunchers and I got messy – don’t wear white, take a bib . Mandy, the owner had extensive knowledge of the wine menu. Desert was then a special vanilla custardy filled pastry with berries. What a day! I’m rating it the best high end meal I have had in Port Stephens. Date nights, special occasions will forever now be spent at Poyers

This is the second time I have been to this lovely restaurant – the quality of the food, service and ambience are second to none. Extremely efficient, service and attention to customers. Friendly and ever so helpful wait staff. I dined with my mum today and she is in a lot of pain and a little fragile. They were so lovely to her, even escorting her out the door in the rain to the car. It is a special little place that will always impress. Book early to avoid disappointment. We will be back again and again and don’t mind driving the distance for such a lovely dining experience.
