What people say
Visited Echo Point on a quiet Monday super easy to get to with loads of parking available. I imagine it might be busier on weekends. Views are stunning, but just a tip: it gets pretty cold in August, so rug up! The sisters looked majestic!
Made a booking for the restaurant and it wasn't made clear that "upstairs" is only for tour groups so we were in the very casual cafe. Food was ok, not overly generous and almost overcooked. Atmosphere would be one star except for the great view. Nice gelato.
My partner and I had our ceromony and reception at the restaurant up stairs for our wedding! Pricing was fantastic, the staff were amazing and great with communication throughout the whole process. Food was also delicious and great serving sizes for our guests as well. We had the most amazing day and i wish I could relive it over and over again. If youre a sucker for a good view (just like me), I would highly consider here as a venue, lunch, dinner or even brekkie!
Stopping for lunch at Echo Point was a treat in itself. I ordered the beef brisket, which was tender, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. My friends enjoyed their fish and chips—crispy and not overly moist—while the chicken thigh fillet was also tasty. A nice bonus is the complimentary coffee and tea, perfect for warming up on a chilly day. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side; rain and heavy haze completely hid the stunning views, including the iconic Three Sisters, but it still made for a cozy and memorable stop.
Service is not happy. Dissatisfied & disappointed. The water glasses were not cleaned properly. Chicken schnitzel & southern fried steak were over cooked & cold. Cheese even didn't melt until finish the meal. Potato chips were cold too. Even cheese is not melting because the food is cold. Christmas day they charged 15% extra for not worth 3 plates. Sliced cucumber were not fresh. And 4-5 slices only. It even took 30 mins. to came the COLD food to the table. The dishes are not worth the price as I know. Chicken schnitzel was $31 Southern Fried Steak $32 'Shroom Ragu $30 Not recommended for anyone for sure.
