They have very good location and view. We parked at the street parking and walk around 5 mins along the coast to the restuarant.
Most of the menu are seafood.
The fish and chips $28 is very well done. Fish is very fresh and sweet in taste and chips are so crispy. Salad is fresh, sweet, and juicy.
I ordered Cured Hokkaido Scallops $29
Which I’m not sure how it would look.
We got some of raw slices of scallop on top of thin slices of cucumber, cream, some sauce and a bit of minced green leaves. To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend this dish. I feel like it’s too pricey from what we get. I don’t feel full at all finishing it within 5 minutes.
Their lemon lime bitter $7.50 is the best, rich in taste.
Service is good, meeting high standard.

Location – Beautiful views and a relaxing ambience.
Service – Irish was very warm, welcoming, and attentive — truly superstar service!
Food – The menu looks great, but the absolute standout was the lasagne.
Parking – A bit difficult, but we were lucky to find a spot just as someone was leaving.
On every visit, Irish has been consistently amazing. Kingfish is lucky to have her.
We’ll definitely be back!
Sorry for the limited photos — the food was so inviting we didn’t get a chance to capture it! But at least we managed to get a lovely photo with Irish

Simplicity is the key of perfection. In a world where everything is exaggerated, it was such a pleasure to enjoy food that was this simple yet incredibly flavorful. I personally prefer dishes that are served without heavy sauces — food that trusts its own natural taste.
A lightly salted salad with no dressing, fried fish without an overdone batter, and oysters presented in a simple way with just small, thoughtful touches — all of it was excellent. Even the fries, without spices, just a bit of salt… perfect.
It was refreshing to experience a meal where nothing was trying too hard, yet everything tasted exactly as it should.

Very disappointing, will not return.
Definitely miss how this place used to be, prior to the ‘renovation’.
Bring back the simple menu, where food quality was actually great.
Kids dishes came out first, followed by our mains 20 minutes later .
Sent one of the kids dishes back immediately, as batter burnt/rock hard. (First time my kids have refused to eat fish and chips ) Then upon receiving the replacement, we decided to just remove the hard overcooked batter as it seemed the staff thought it was “ok”.
Salad apparently means JUST lettuce?.
Beautiful view, but the service was atrocious. staff quite dismissive, replaced burnt dish but just walked over, placed on table and wouldn’t discuss meal further, which was disappointing.
Highly recommend just going to a corner fish n chip shop, somewhere else. Everything was overpriced & the seafood here wasn’t enjoyable, at all.
Very oily and burnt batter.
Potentially a 5 Star Restaurant, if run and set up better (food quality improved and staff that make you feel welcome) but unfortunately it’s only of 1 star quality.

Best seafood restaurant in Newcastle, no question! I enjoyed the amazing and inventive deconstructed prawn cocktail, lobster mornay, and Strawberry Kiss cocktails for my “girl lunch” out, celebrating my new job and the end of a stressful year. (The prawn and crab lasagne is also to die for!). Drinks are plentiful and varied, with lots of local options to choose from. Even though the venue was packed, I never waited too long for anything. The gorgeous sea breeze sweeping through was heavenly and you can see the water view from any part of the restaurant (although, romantic dinners at sunset are best enjoyed at the front, in my humble opinion!). Even full to capacity, the restaurant is never over-noisy and you can talk easily amongst yourselves without having to yell – so refreshing! Bri and her team run a tight ship and customer service is always paramount. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional – nothing is a problem. I wish I’d booked my work Xmas function here instead of another venue; this is definitely a part of Newcastle I want to show off to my Sydney colleagues. Highly recommended and I’m jealous of anyone enjoying The Kingfish for the first time! Thank you team – love your work. I wish you all the best for 2026 and will see you again soon! xx

We stopped here for lunch for the first time. I didn’t take a photo of our desert but this is what we ordered for lunch
Order:
• Chicken Schnitzel ($34)-
While slightly on the dry side, still delivered good flavour.
• Wagu Cheeseburger ($29)-
Good portion, but tasted like an average cheeseburger from maccas but still enjoyable
• Roasted Pumpkin ($14)-
I can confidently call the standout of the entire meal. This side dish was exceptional. The portion was generous, the flavours were rich and well-balanced and it genuinely stood out as one of the best side dishes I’ve ever had.
• Lunch Special: Crumbed Calamari ($25)-
It beautifully presented. The calamari was cooked perfectly, tender, well-seasoned, and incredibly enjoyable. I have always eaten crispy calamari but this was the best I’ve had by far, so tender.
• Brown Sugar Tart ($16)-
Offered the perfect level of sweetness. While I wasn’t particularly fond of the white sauce served alongside it, the tart on its own was delightful.
• Chocolate & Ferrero Rocher Gelato ($7)-
Together they created a rich, indulgent finish to the meal.
• Fanta X2 ($13)-
Cold a fresh
Overall, generous portions, great presentation and a few unforgettable dishes — especially that roasted pumpkin. The music is the best I have ever listened to. Whoever chose the playlist definitely should remain connected to the Bluetooth as it plays a big part, calm energy and soothing vibes. I’d happily come back again

Got a few sides to enjoy for a small meal and got perfect results. The food was very flavourful and well made, staff were very welcoming and helpful. View of the water was also lovely, great spot.
They even have a separate menu for taking food as takeaway which is cheaper deals and very handy for customers
