The food was so good, super fresh and full of flavor. Nice and friendly staff, the place and location itself are awesome. Totally recommend!Thank you guys!
Great spot, excellent steak and delicious sides. Happy vibes and happy people.We had dinner and will go back for lunch to try the mezze on the terrace, perfect for a lazy summer day with friends so you can try all the dishes!
Squeezed us in last minute for an amazing dinner. We had the Vodka Pasta, Creme Brûlée and a starter of some delicious whipped Fetta. The whole meal was incredible. Service is always amazing. The best experience and great value.
Stumbled across this unassuming place and tried our luck. What a find. Not busy at all but still a nice vibe to it. Good view of the beach which was good as it was a big wave day. The owner waited on and very charismatic too. Perfect host. Had the whipped Feta and olive to start followed by the pork bun and king prawn spaghetti. All excellent. Very reasonable too. Very well deserved 5/5 for everything.
Just arrived home from Melbourne where I’ve been eating amazing food all week… The food at Rattle was such high quality and tasty and on-par and even better than the food I experienced in Melbourne. I would 100% recommend rattle to anyone looking for good food, good vibes and great service!!! Thank you for having us!!!
What a great experience. Oysters were so fresh. The cured fish was light and well balanced. The muhammara dip was perfectly smokey and sweat. The squid and chilli mayo was delicious and the nduja butter poached prawns were so rich and tasty and just divine. Crawled out of there after eating so much delicious food!!We can't wait to go back!!
Such a great little gemAt Emerald Beach on the CoffsCoast- go enjoy a cocktail or two and delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Thanks guys see you again soon.
We really enjoyed our meal here. The food was fresh and innovative, and the staff were friendly and very welcoming. There was a good selection of craft beer and a nice range of cocktails.The atmosphere was very relaxing and we soon felt at ease. The drive from Sawtell was worth it!We will be back, bringing family and friends this festive season.
Amazing dinner and wine, I had their special pasta and their house rose which was spectacular and service was efficient and friendly, highly recommend!
Interesting and tasty menu, albeit at Sydney prices. Decor is frankly really poor, basically a boring cafe of a day, trying to be grown up fancy pants restaurant of a night. At least use tablecloths when you’re serving $110 dishes. Same re paper napkins. Be better!Utterly freezing. Doors wide open, 8° outside. No heating/aircon, no music. Close the doors on a winter’s night. We left early, no dessert. Too freakin cold.But the food is really good, so too the cocktails. Staff engaging and friendly, service slick.A few simple evening polishes and we could have a winner.
The reception the speed and courtesy of the service and the delightful food made for a lovely dinner after a long drive during the day. The wine selection is small but well selected.
Seriously great experience. Food top class. Beautifully plated and the tastes - just sensational. Drink menu varied with plenty of grown up alcohol free choices. Wait staff super friendly and fun. Such a wonderful night - thanks everyone at Rattle
What's not to like ... Right on the corner with beach views. Really open feel with open French door windows, so in essence inside still feels like outside. Easy menu, great form share plates and good drink selection. It's nice in the winter so expect it would be phenomenal in summer. Nice relaxed feel and a nice way to relax 😁
Favourite place to go in the Coffs region! Excellent food, groovy and delicious wines, the best service, vibey tunes and if you’re lucky you’ll get all of this whilst dining under the full moon. My new weekly hangout!
Delicious food, service attentive but not rushed, lovely view of the ocean. Re food, was disappointed that the bbq octopus is no longer on the menu, even though the on-line menu shows that it is; and for those who don't like coriander, be warned, the mussels were garnished with it, even though it didn't get a mention on the menu. Having said that, the scallops were perfect, and there were four on the plate, not three; the vodka cured salmon was sublime, and the two desserts tasted as good as they looked. Background music not to my taste, but we were outside and couldn't hear it once seated.
Great staff very polite and informative, bang on point.Slight problem that mains where put through to be sent out straight after entrees with no break, however, we were given the option to wait and have them remade. We said it was okay. Situations was explained and apologised for and a free bottle of bubbles. So nice to have honesty instead of trying to cover it up or fob it off. Food was wonderful as always, our 4th visit there. Whenever we have guests we take them there. A lovely Mother's day lunch.
The owners have a real passion for providing sumptuous food for the Coffs Harbour region. The staff are very friendly and have an eye for detail. We dine at Rattle regularly, and have never been disappointed. We love the 'new' menu. Thanks for your hospitality. Dale and Lou.
Enjoyed a family dinner celebrating 18th. Great views of sea, steak night was a hit with us and the staff were great. Made some special drinks and looked after us. Wonderful evening.
A true gem of Emerald Beach and for the Coffs Coast. Hugh and his team, while small in numbers, showcase the best service and hospitality skills/experience I have witnessed on the Coffs Coast. Their cocktails and coffees are wonderfully presented and orders are taken with ease. Stunning ocean views set a wonderful backdrop and a range of moody jazz and house music make for an excellent mood maker for fun and conversation. I would strongly recommend Rattle for anyone who values outstanding food with accompanying service and experience.
Honestly, if you drove from Sydney to eat the mussels in the magic sauce, and then drove back home to Sydney, it'd be worth it. Unreal joint. Don't miss it.
2nd dinner in as many months and the experience was fabulous both times.Attentive service.Amazing food.Delicious cocktails.Great atmosphere.Definitely recommend.We’ll be back!
Great atmosphere, courteous hosts, fantastic view out over the ocean with a perfect meal to round it all up. Oh and a great King Tide blueberry ginger beer!!
This chef understands how to bring complex flavours into simple delight. Fascinating menu, generous service, great wine list including great non-alcoholic choices. Ivy could not have been more helpful. Will be back.
Thursday night was very busy. We ordered the lamb shoulder but had to wait 90 minutes before it was served. We had almost decided to leave, however the lamb was absolutely superb, meltingly tender and the accompanying chips and broccoli very tasty. We took half of the lamb home and had delicious lamb sandwiches next day. The staff were very helpful
An amazing restaurant on the Coffs Coast. One of the best.Great food....excellent quality and presentation, seasonal, delicious.Solid selection of drinks and wine. Service is casual but that's intended.A great vibe....Louis & Hugh really know their stuff.....and that's what makes the difference.
We recently visited Rattle Restaurant & Bar in Emerald Beach for a birthday dinner, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Despite booking on short notice, the staff were incredibly accommodating and ensured we had a great spot, making the evening feel special from the start.We started with fresh oysters as an entree, which were beautifully presented and tasted incredibly fresh a perfect way to kick off the meal. From there, we indulged in seared scallops, grilled octopus, and Wagyu steak, each cooked to perfection. The seared scallops had a beautiful caramelisation, the grilled octopus was smoky and tender, and the Wagyu steak was rich, juicy, and full of flavour.One of the highlights of the night was exploring the cocktail menu. Whether it was a classic Negroni, a tropical Figgy Smalls, or something a little more adventurous, every drink was well-crafted and balanced.To top it all off, we managed to get the crème brûlée as a takeaway, which was the perfect way to end the night. It was silky smooth with a perfectly crisp caramelised top, just as good as if we had enjoyed it at the restaurant.The atmosphere was relaxed yet stylish, with ocean views from the outdoor seating that made the night even more special. The friendly and attentive staff made sure everything ran smoothly, creating a fantastic dining experience.For a special occasion, a casual drink, or just an excuse to enjoy great food and cocktails, Rattle Restaurant & Bar is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the cocktail menu!
Great location. Been a couple times now and the food is a highlight. Portions are generous-2 entree, a main and 2 sides between the 2 of us was plenty sufficient. Staff helpful, friendly and efficient. Will be back, recommend to all.
We booked a table for my husband’s birthday as we were meeting family for a week. Russell called to let me know about the seating arrangements and the weather earlier in the day. It didn’t stop us having a fantastic time but we did appreciate the heads up!We arrived and were seated after being greeted in a friendly manner. Children were accommodated easily and room made for an extra person that showed up, with no quibbles.Cocktails are fantastic. El Pepino was my choice and it did not disappoint!We had almost one of everything from the menu I’d say!! Stand outs were the Moreton Bay Bugs and the lamb. Children had pizza and they were also delicious. The squid was also devoured by all including the children who we had to order an extra serve for!!!Deserts were also good and Hubby said the cheeseboard was outstanding.Thank guys for a great evening and extraordinary service.No wonder they get 5 stars, it’s well deserved⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had amazing food, service and lovely night, waitress and Huey all went above and beyond to accommodate food allergy/restrictions for our group. Quality and value.Thank you, very much appreciated.
Delicious food in a fabulous setting. We came on a Wednesday when there is a pasta special which is great value and better pasta than we had on a recent trip to Italy. In my opinion its the best restaurant on the Coffs Coast.
WOW!! Devine!Amazing service!Amazing food!Great view!We had the scallops, broccoli macadamia salad side dish and tuna, olives, capers pasta ….. all 🤤🤤We will definitely be back and highly recommend.
Great little find on our quick stop over in Emerald Beach. A great vibe, great food, great drinks and funky wine selection. An all round great experience. Thanks guys we will be back.
I suggest you book a table early.This is a great stopover whilst travelling on the M1.Just off the highway, with a lovely outlook over the bay.The highlight for us was the fantastic food, great service, knowledgeable wine selection, and overall experience, which was the best we have received at a restaurant for some time.Thank you, we will be back again and again!
WOW whats not to like about Rattle. Went in for my birthday and it was fantastic. We've been a few times and are never disappointed with the food, the service or anything. You can't go wrong having a meal here. Love the staff too!
Impromptu lunch - lovely vista - TKU Chef great taste truffle flavoured pasta tho light on mushroom content - welcoming staff a little more attention to wardrobe would be in your favour, AND $74 for a Bendigo Chardonnay is totally OTT! 🙏
Best food and atmosphere that we have experienced for a long time. Menu is a culinary delight and can rate the seafood choices. Beach view and dog friendly. All pluses for us. Highlight of our trip!!
