"Anniversary dinner at The Galley Kitchen. We had sashimi plate and half dozen oysters followed by the special of Lamb Shoulder for two. The food was excellent, service was friendly and efficient. The lamb was particularly good, falling off the bone and delicious. Would definitely recommend dining here."

"What a wonderful couple of days at the Anchorage Hotel Port Stephens. The Galley Kitchen was five star. The food, service and staff were as good as it gets. Nothing was too much trouble."

"We had dinner at The Galley Kitchen in the resort while we stayed there for a long weekend. For entrée, we had seared scallops and tempura broccolini—both were incredibly delicious! I was surprised to see that this restaurant only has a 3.8-star rating on Google Maps. I booked it without any expectations but was open to trying it since we didn’t feel like going out.
For the main course, I had the fish of the day, which was snapper. It was incredibly fresh. Initially, the mention of sweet and sour sauce on the menu didn’t appeal to me, but I wanted to have fish, so I gave it a try. Surprisingly, the sauce wasn’t overly sweet and actually complemented the dish beautifully, especially with the salad and crunchy macadamia. My husband had the eye fillet, which was perfectly cooked to medium rare.
By the end of the meal, we were so full that the birthday boy didn’t want any cake or dessert. We left with happy tummies! This is a great place to dine in Port Stephens - tech and yummy food and good service. It definitely deserves a higher rating—maybe we should give them 5 stars to help push it over 4!
Next day after the summit walk, we went back to the hotel for lunch around 2:15pm. I had a prawn salad that came with six big, super fresh prawns! The bowl was massive. My husband had a steak sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. Surprisingly, the bread was way better than a typical steak sandwich! I had mojito mocktale. It had honey at the bottom of the drink which was so nice."
