Lakeview Hotel Merimbula

Upon our arrival at 7:30 pm on a bustling Saturday night, the restaurant greeted us with a sight of numerous vacant tables contrasted with a busy kitchen in the background. Despite the promising sight, our hopes of securing a table for two were quickly dashed as we were informed that the chefs were too overwhelmed to accommodate any more customers. Disappointed, we left the restaurant feeling perplexed by the staff's uncertainty and lack of hospitality. It was truly puzzling to see so many empty tables and yet be turned away without any apologies or offers to make our wait more pleasant.

The worst Linguine I have ever had. Bland and flavourless. The calamari in it was like rubber, prawns were tasteless. The mussels were old enough to be on a pension. I would cordially suggest that the chilli bottle should be opened instead of being waved over it.

Lunch here was awesome!! Really really impressed with there food.. good atmosphere, great views.. you can take your dog and sit out the back and still have a drink and food.. excellent place.. service was high quality aswell

Good solid place to stay. Nothing to flash but everything worked and the staff were great.
Food is above average. The baked cheesecake is made fresh each day and very impressive.
Good carpark out the back and great views from the upstairs bar/dining rooom.

Could not believe that you are still serving the same tired old menu since the last time we dined there over a year ago! I certainly did not order the seafood pasta again, as it was bland and disappointing indeed...runny sauce, tiny pippies, tiny prawns. This time it was a coss lettuce salad with half chicken. Bread pieces were like teeth breakers, salad tired and wilted, and what a joke the chicken was. Tried to cut it and it almost bounced across the table, sending the half boiled eggs skittering. The egg was the winner! Why don't you try a more seasonal menu to go with the changing from summer to winter and back again? I do not like to be harsh and rarely complain, but if you want to pick up business you should take reviews like this seriously.
