Lake View Hotel Bendigo - Pub Near Me in Bendigo Victoria

**Amazing Experience at Lake View Hotel, Bendigo!**

I had the pleasure of visiting the Lake View Hotel, and I must say, the experience was fantastic. The staff were super nice, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing night out.

The drinks were awesome, with a great selection to choose from. I ordered the 300g Scotch filet, and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor - definitely a must-try for any steak lover!

My friend had the Prawn & Chorizo Fettuccine, and they loved it. The dish was well-prepared, with a great balance of flavors. It was both nice and incredibly yummy.

Highly recommend this place if you're in Bendigo!

Yet again another great meal! I've been here a few times and it's such a great place to stop in when you want a great meal. So far I've not been disappointed! Tonight's was definitely brilliant! For a good reliable 'Parma' or anything else, it's worth a visit

Had the MIXED GRILL... it was fantastic! The steak was tender, all was delicious, and the sausage reminded me of what I had as a child in country NSW. Even the Green tea was my favorite... Honeydew. I arrived at 5:30, by 6pm they were getting quite busy, food came out fast. HIGLY RECOMMENDED!

We arrived and ordered before 7 on Sat. We waited our food for 1 hour 10 mins in total after we ordered. Prolonged waiting time in a noisy environment was a bit annoying.
No services at all.
The my scallops and pork belly was a bit cold and too fatty, can't finished. The porterhouse steak was over done, almost well done and was chewy. Forgot to take pictures but I strongly advised to stay away with any steak, it cost about $45 but badly tasted.
Chips are the best among the dishes, it was fresh and hot

Never again. I have been to the lake view many, many times as a local and haven't once had an issue. Until tonight. I ordered a scotch fillet, medium rare. After waiting almost an hour, a lovely gentlemen brought out our meals and I was instantly taken aback as it was visibly a badly done, and dry looking porterhouse 'steak' at best. I picked it up to confirm that my eyes weren't tricking me and ripped a bit off and tried it, and confirmed that no, this is not what I ordered and paid $42 for. So I kindly sent it back and said I ordered a scotch fillet, and this isn't it. Then the I believe manger(?) came out with the plate and receipt and said that I didn't order eye fillet, I ordered the scotch and this is a scotch? I very politely agreed that no, I didn't order an eye fillet, I ordered a scotch fillet and that isn't a scotch fillet? He then proceeded to rudely argue with me about the kitchen being confused about me sending it back and that I haven't even tried it and that it is a scotch fillet. I am not one to complain when I go out to eat, but as a business, the customer and any issues get resolved in a respectful and timely manner. He came to the table a few times and did apologise and said the kitchen was fixing the mistake (but didn't tell me what the mistake was they admitted to?) He was extremely condescending and rightly didn't give a damn, which is pretty sad if that's how you decide to run a business. He said it's going to be a little bit of a wait and offered us drinks, which I refused and said thank you, but I'd get them myself. Fast forward 45 minutes after a paying customers complaint and many MANY plates coming out of the kitchen, I kindly explained it had been 2 hours after ordering our food, 45 minutes since I asked for the issue to be resolved, he cut me off and said he wants me to "leave happy" and offered a refund. I did then say that yes, I would like a refund as I am past hungry and it's been far too long. He was then again, extremely condescending when handing me my cash refund. Has left a very sour taste in my mouth and I will never ever be returning.
- as a side note, I also hope they take into account that my friend's sweet potato stack was ordered as gluten free (as per the menu), as she is intolerant and she instantly had symptoms that is was clearly not gluten free, and wasn't safe to consume. Didn't take long to figure out as she had only had maybe 2-3 bites as it wasn't cooked like it used to be. Maybe stop trying to cut corners or ask your chef that left to please return. If I could give a 0 rating, I would.
