   We decided for a change to have a steak each which was a good choice' medium rare with salad and fries. Choice of sauces and gravies. Great varied menu including a senior's selection. Good range of Wines but a bit pricey. Easy free parking at venue (EMRSL) and pleasant views from dining room....... Can recommend !

   It was very noisy as soon as we walked in due to a huge Christmas party in progress. Our meal took a long time to arrive, we didn’t get it until after 2:00pm. One of my sisters couldn’t finish her chicken parma as it was very dry. Then people began arriving for another function so we were asked to leave! We should have been advised of these functions when I made the booking and could have changed the date. However because you are only open for lunch one day a week even this was difficult to arrange between six people. The floor staff were run off their feet and with the two big functions you had booked it was obvious you should have arranged more staff. The location was very good for us all as we come from both sides of Melbourne but otherwise very disappointing for our family Christmas gathering.

   My first visit to this venue. Overall a good experience. Entree and main course were delivered within a minute of each other! Made for a rush through of the entrée. Steak was cooked medium as requested. I prefer chips to the shoestring fries that are served. Pepper sauce was tasteless and wouldn’t recommend. Salad was good.

   Pleasantly surprised by the inside. Obviously a winner with the local families and seniors. Husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The meals were differently value for money. The only down side was not enough galic butter on the "garlic bread". Raffle draw time was alot of fun. So many prizes. Enjoyed watching the winners come up and accept their winnings. Even picked up 2 signed autographed biographies at a bargain price of $1.50. Great night, will definitely go back.

   We enjoy a steak night out with our son. Had seen this RSL when he used to play cricket. Very happy to rediscover it. Had a great night. Nice meal and not noisy. Bought my Father’s Day raffle tickets. Hope I win :-)
