Why it's worth checking out

Signal Box sits on Wharf Road on Newcastle's harbour, a well-regarded restaurant in a lovely waterfront position. Making the most of its setting by the water, it's earned a strong reputation for quality dining with a view — the kind of relaxed yet polished venue that suits a meal, drinks or a special occasion on the Newcastle foreshore.

The appeal is that combination of quality cooking and a scenic harbourside location, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or drinks overlooking the water. With the harbour and the city's foreshore precinct right there, it's an easy and picturesque spot to settle in and enjoy the waterside surrounds.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table with the best of the harbour views, dining with a group, or marking a special occasion on the Newcastle foreshore.
