    Excellent service the young men who served us were attentive and even called out to us as we left . Food was very cooked and well presented. Cold water and cold glasses were a lovely treat on a 39 degree day . Well done

    Staff were absolutely lovely, but haven’t been for a while because the food is very average and also high priced. The garlic bread came out nearly burnt, and the chicken Parma was also over cooked, dry and the chips were incredibly dry. The salad looked like wilted rabbit food with a huge blob of mayo on top and huge cut tomatoes. Won’t be back again unfortunately.

    I have ticked the box to keep this private. We had some vouchers from Ballarat swans netball club to use up. However, the vouchers used, we still had to pay over 100 for a terrible meal, that was extremely disappointing for ours daughter’s birthday dinner. Beans had a smell, they seemed old not fresh, the goodness bowl could not even be eaten, rice old or out of a packet. Seemed like it was food that required to be used up with an added smell. I would like to be reimbursed as we are not coming back. Call Gordon Ramsay

    Staff were absolutely amazing, friendly, helpful, I tried the snitzel wrap, have to say not a fan of the relish, left unusual taste but I’m sure many others enjoy it, I will know for next time just to take it off but otherwise, clean, plenty of space, great staff and good vibe if music

    Althiough a previous table of 30 put them far behind in the service department, the food was excellent and couldn't be faulted!! Our compliments to the chef, but our commiserations to the poor wait staff who had to go through a harrowing experience of changed minds and rude, noisy bloody-mindedness of customers who let their children run wild in the bistro and couldnt care less about others. People like that should be blown up. So RUDE! BUT, Thank you, Ballarat Leagues Club, for doing your best with what little you had to deal with.
    Ballarat Leagues ClubResponded on 13 November 2024
    Hi Juanita, thank you for the review and support. Unfortunately, not all customers are as conscious of others as you are so our staff sometimes just have to do their best in all situations. I will pass on your thanks to the staff.

    Dined on a Sunday night. Team was very friendly. Food was just ok. Found the portions a bit small compared to other clubs and not very hot.

    Service was good and food reasonably good. Some options on the menu better than others. More choices would have been good but overall enjoyed our lunch
