Good Food – Sydney Morning Herald Review

8 at Trinity was featured in Sydney Morning Herald – Good Food as a showstopping dining experience and noting each element of 8 at Trinity has been hand-selected as the best in its class. “A (very) worthwhile journey… a culinary field of dreams where you can come for the finest wagyu Tomahawk or enjoy a simple Margherita pizza and be assured of experiencing an exceptional meal in a world-class waterfront setting.”

Concrete Playground Review

“This waterside spot is well worth taking the breezy 80-minute drive from Sydney.
We highly doubt you’ve seen a pop-up restaurant quite like this one. 8 at Trinity is the just-north-of-Sydney spot giving us five-star resort vibes in an unexpected area. There’s a luxe 350-seat dining area, large terrace and sprawling lawn — all overlooking Lake Macquarie’s Trinity Point Marina.”

Timeout Review

“This $8 million pop-up restaurant in Lake Macquarie sets a new standard for luxury dining with premium seafood platters and theatrical cocktails.”

HunterHunter Review

“Unequivocally, yes.
From winding through the freshly developed Trinity Point residential area to arriving at this absolute cracker of a structure, there’s something magical in the air when you visit 8 at Trinity. So, if you’ve yet to visit, let us take you on an all-encapsulating dining journey.”

Coast Magazine Review

“I’ve stepped into an atrium, where sunlight glints off marble and brass tables, potted palms and succulents bring the outdoors in, and Lake Macquarie’s newest marina beckons beyond 6.5-metre-long all-weather blinds. Am I impressed? Most certainly.”
