What Brett B likes about 242ate Cafe Bar & Grill:
I’ve eaten here several times when visiting Forster. The club itself is one of the best on the mid north coast and the meals also beat most other regional clubs for price size and value. Had to start with the oysters fresh succulent and full of flavour sourced locally and not to be missed. The steaks were the perfectly cooked main that they should be medium with a very fresh salad and a delicious pepper sauce! Great... View all feedback. What Marcelina Little doesn't like about 242ate Cafe Bar & Grill:
Have eaten here many times being local but recently the food quality has declined. Had an Asian plate and hit/cold seafood for one. Asian plate was just a selection of packet frozen deep fried money bags, small dim sims etc. Tasteless and overpriced. The prawns in the seafood for one were tasteless, sampled salmon was the best. The hot seafood was simply packet rubbish. Very disappointed, won’t go back for a while. View all feedback.
