Disappointing Dining Experience at Criterion Yarrawonga
We recently booked a dinner at Criterion Yarrawonga for two families, including several children's meals. Unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. To start, the children's meals were served first, but the rest of the meals came out in random intervals, making it impossible for everyone to enjoy their food together.
One of the major disappointments was the $60 steak, which had shriveled up like a cleaning cloth and was paired with a jelly-like mushroom sauce that was far from appetizing. The chicken Parmas were clearly pre-cooked and cold when served. To make matters worse, the final meal arrived so late that the child who ordered a cheeseburger seemed to have aged from 15 to 18 by the time he finally got it.
As if that wasn't enough, we had to ask for the ice cream we had ordered, and when it finally arrived, it was dropped rudely on the table without a word.
In short, if you're willing to spend $500 for a dinner that feels more like daylight robbery, go right ahead. Otherwise, I'd suggest looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable experience.
