"We had a wonderful lunch on Saturday celebrating with our daughters God parents. We loved the food and the service was exceptional. Riley looked after us and was so accommodating and helpful. We would highly recommend. We have also dined at Ciel and look forward to trying the the third restaurant by the chef. Thank you for a beautiful lunch experience. Thank you Kym and Charles"

"We had Father’s Day lunch at Meribella, located on the first floor of Crowne Plaza Terrigal. There were 6 people in our group. We mainly ordered mains and drinks, 1 entree and no desserts were ordered. Out of the 5 unique dishes ordered, 4 were good and 1 was tolerable. The restaurant had a very high see-through ceiling with huge windows over looking Terrigal Beach. The noise level was fine, we could talk to each other without shouting and our table was quite big. The service was good, to be expected at a fine dining restaurant. Overall, the experience was fine. I would go back there again but not order that one dish we found to be mediocre at best."

"We had a beautiful experience at Merribella in Terrigal - the service was warm and attentive, and every dish was fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The Shiraz Ciel was a standout and paired perfectly with our meal. We’ll definitely be back!"

"Had a lovely night last night at Meribella. Highly recommend. Lovely food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend the steak, beautiful flavour and exquisite presentation. Thank you to the waiter who made our night so lovely."

"I finally made it to Meribella. We were seated in the Lord Ashley Lounge not the actual restaurant. That made sense as there were only two tables to serve. The day was cloudless and that resulted in the most amazing colours of our view of the Haven. My friend chose the snapper. I can never go past duck, if it's on the menu. We also ordered a side of broccoli. The food was beautifully cooked and presented, and was delicious."

"Wow! Loved it! The food was amazing, we highly recommend the duck. The chef’s own wine “Ciel” was great! The only down side is also the biggest feature, the glass dinning area. During the day it was very warm and I almost needed a hat. At night I’m sure this would be amazing but then you’d lose the great view of the ocean. Riley and the team do a great. The special touch of a bit on our docket was the cherry on top!"
