What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ribeye Rooftop Bar & Kitchen garners mixed reviews, with many praising the vibrant rooftop bar and attentive service, particularly from staff like Graham. However, some diners have expressed disappointment with inconsistent food quality, especially concerning steak preparation and pricing, leading to a perception of pub-style meals at restaurant prices. The atmosphere and perceived lack of ambiance in certain areas also drew criticism.
"This is a hidden gem and could be the best bar in Coffs Harbour if it were better marketed. Firstly, it needs to be separated into two categories. The Ribeye restaurant is VERY good but needs to stand alone from the bar. The rooftop Bar is awesome. It's spacious with great decor. The problem is that people don't know about it. That's because it's stuck in this category of 'restaurant' - it needs to standalone as a bar or cocktail bar. Call it the 'Rooftop Cocktail Bar' but keep it separate from the steak restaurant."

"Ordered a MEDIUM filet Mignon ($49) and received one that was RARE. Partner ordered MEDIUM/RARE ribeye, his was MEDIUM/WELL. Ordered a $20 cocktail and it was placed on our table, spilling over the glass and messy, no attempt to clean the glass or perhaps start again with a fresh one. When we rang during the day to see about booking, was not told that there would be a function with bag pipes just outsode the door way. Very dissapointed. Photos attached."

"2023, and you have a dress code? For a Saturday night it was very dead, this was strange as it seemed like a good destination with a good menu online. The dress code is on their website as smart casual, as we showed up in decent nice clothing, no rips, no stains etc. What we were told at the door did not match the description on the website. This was very disheartening, didn’t know it was a black tie event."
