Coal River & Co - COOKS HILL

This restaurant may have the best service, food, and wine I have ever encountered. The staff is incredibly cheerful, welcoming, and accommodating. The meals were authentic, delectable, and served promptly. The wine selection was outstanding! I rarely leave reviews, but this place was exceptional, reasonably priced, and I would enthusiastically suggest it to anyone wanting a fantastic night out. Thank you to Coal River Co! Please continue your wonderful work.

The service was excellent and the food was delicious! The standout dish of the evening was definitely the gnocchi with Baba Ghanoush, eggplant, and zucchini crisps. It was a creative and fantastic twist on gnocchi. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely return next time we are in Newcastle.

A magnificent meal with some incredible buffalo mozzarella deep-fried and crumbed and some beetroot cured trout to start that was beautifully presented and amazing to taste. We couldn’t decide and our waitress came up with a cunning plan to share. Our pasta mains and desserts were also brilliant. Very rare I order 3 courses. Service was impeccable even though they were understandably busy they made us feel special. Loved it! Wine was also top quality and reasonably priced.

The meal began with sourdough toast with grated cheese, the cheese may have been a Grana Padano. The toast was crunchy and was generously grated with cheese, the fragrant backdrop was thanks to the butter had been slathered on. The salad was akin to that of a farm picked vegetable, fresh and crisp the balance of the sourness and creaminess was spot on. The gnocchi was indulgent, every morsel was savored. The meat was tender and flavourful thanks to the tomato jus. The meat was somewhat lacking but what could you expect of a young and energetic young man? The chocolate dessert was worth the wait, if you like a freshly baked dessert, that is. The dessert takes around 20 minutes from finishing the last meal to delivery. Bask in the dark chocolate goodness, the dessert was crisp on the outside, velvety spongy throughout. As I broke through the insides, a lava of dark chocolate flowed as Mt. Vesuvius did. The semifreddo was creamy and perfectly understated in its sweetness. Two thumbs up to the staff for their attentive and prompt service.
