Hands down worst roast beef we have ever had at a pub. This is disappointing, as we usually have rather positive dining experiences at the Kent. However, we will not come back after this. You could not even call the "roast beef" a "roast". It took a while to come out, and it was pan fried, not roasted! Incredibly tough, most parts basically inedible. Could've made a better meal at home. Overdone. Dry. Tough. Obviously PAN FRIED beef that has been labelled as a "Roast". All three of us could not finish our meals. Take this off the menu please or just actually ROAST YOUR BEEF.

Had a dinner with my wife for her birthday. We arrived early, so we had some drinks in the happy hours period. Very competitive price!

Staff there were super friendly and helpful. One thing worth to mention is that I dropped the knife when I was eating. The staff noticed that immediately and gave me another one. Rocket speed, proactive and helpful! Appreciate it.

The environment was superb, cosy and warm.

Since it was a steak night, so we ordered 2 sirloin steaks, with chips and salad. Very price competitive. However we ordered medium, but turning out a full cooked one. Over-cooked ?

Booking was easy and assured. The table was ideal for a small group conversation. The menu was limited, but the meals were good and the costs reasonable The service was lovely, and attentive. I would happily eat here again.

Found hair in food. Completely ruined our meal and experience. Manager was great. Other staff were unhappy with my complaint, talking amongst themselves non discreetly, made us feel very uncomfortable staying.

A group of 17 of us had lunch to celebrate an occasion. The staff were amazing and seamlessly took individual orders and payment at the table. Couldn't have asked for better service over the 3 hours. Food was a bit variable ... some great some good. Thank you!!

Great service, nice ambiance, mediocre food. We ordered Chicken Parma, Steak Sandwich, Taiwanese Pork Noodles and Seafood Linguine. The Taiwanese Pork Noodles was very bland while the Seafood Linguine was unusually spicy. I wouldn't have ordered it had I known how spicy it is. The service was amazing, very friendly and attentive, but they need to work on the food quality a bit.

Had a really good meal at the Kent Hotel. The pork schnitzel was really nice and the grilled fish and chips was also nice. We received excellent service from the wait staff. The Kent Hotel has a good selection of beers.. if you're in Carlton give the Kent Hotel a try.

The only thing going for the Kent these days is location. Frequented often in the past for great food and visited recently ... charcuterie plate exceptionally average , showing absolutely no imagination with the amount of condiments and pickles that are about these days .. and $5 for two pieces of warmed bread that you needed to order as the plate had nothing on offer ...seriously !!! That is just outrageous.Have experienced lovely plates about town and this was simply blah .. wines by the glass very meh .. overall disappointed to visit a past gem that is sadly lacking.

We were a table of 17 with healthy appetites and some special dietary requirements. We were looked after wonderfully from starters to desserts and none of us left disappointed.
If you have coeliac disease, your GF options are delicious. Thank you to James and team for looking after us and making our night a memorable one.

Food was terrible . Vegetables were like eating a wet sponge. Ordered an entree and it came with main meal .
I had my wedding there 7 months ago and could not fault the food . I think your new chief should go back to the dog food factory. Stop using your microwave.

Dropped by for lunch had the salt and pepper calamari which was tender and slightly sweet. The small side salad and aioli added the right amount of acidity to offset the fried seafood. Sat outside and was able to enjoy the slight breeze and sunshine. Had a couple of persistent wasps float about for a few minutes but they were easily shooed away.

Just had my birthday party in the function room upstairs. Staff were very friendly and professional. My guests were raving about the food all night! The food is very fresh and you could tell that they use quality ingredients. Gosia was great in helping me plan my night and working with me to make sure my night was perfect! Would definitely book again and be back for a meal!

Great pub and service - have been here on many occasions. However, we chose to come for steak night and found the 'sirloin', whilst beautifully prepared was of really poor quality.. left half on the plate to be honest. So 4 stars instead of 5 as this is generally a really great pub

they are ok Carlton pizza, mushroom>moz imo.
just noted my partner said his margarita tastes like chemical and he disliked it.
but the opening time is Pog. this place opens before 5pm so I didn't need to starve until 5 which I'll say I'm happy with it.

Refreshingly great experience
From the friendly and professional staff to the extensive and enticing menu and the lovely outdoor setting, across from a large park, it's hard to fault this place. We've driven past it for years, always thinking - must try it. It's menu is modern Australian, but whoever is at the helm really exceeds any expectations - it's way beyond pub food. Great wine list including plenty by the glass. We booked a little early for dinner which made parking much easier (6.45pm). Second visit we went upstairs. Not a great choice. Very dull atmosphere and decor. Stay downstairs if possible.

Clean and nicely appointed. Friendly staff who care about their clients.
Nice selection of food.All ordered items were tasty.

Very good, if uneven, food let down by a total lack of atmosphere. The Kent is reliable and fine. I just wish they would try and offer some character. Maybe a live music act or art on the walls or maybe even turn down the bright house lights and turn up barely heard music from the speakers - anything to add some ambience.
Otherwise, yeah, fine.

This venue warrants much positive praising. The Monday night duck dinning is highly recommended. It is a healthy tasty dish!

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff. Perfect on a warm summer's day. Could use more quality euro beers on menu though.

The Kent Hotel offers amazing Modern Australian pub fare with a sophisticated touch, so not your regular kind! They are also a sister restaurant to the Plough Hotel in Footscray. The place was buzzing on a Sunday night with every table booked out, I see this as a sign of good food. The service is attentive and thoughtful, the specials were read out to us and our courses arranged and timed perfectly. The pasta had so much flavour and was easily mopped up with some complimentary bread. The pizza was sensational, a 10/10 in terms of dough and flavour. The steak was perfectly cooked and paired with a delicious serve of seasonal greens. I was especially impressed by the eggplant chips which are usually hard to nail, but they did - crispy, light and not at all soggy! Not to mention the generous portion size.
They have an extensive drinks list, with many local and international options. I enjoyed a great Italian Pinot Grigio.
This dining experience was a gifted invite, however they agreed to having me come in without advising them of when, so every part of my experience was authentic. I wouldn't hesitate twice recommending this restaurant.
