Marlin Hotel, Ulladulla NSW

Bistro meal only, with friends.
Had gourmet beef burger.
Food was good, generously portioned and tasty.

Went here for some good ole pub grub with a great view of the harbor, in the end just walked away. The barman seemed really put out that he had to serve us. We went around to the bar with the view and he just ignored us, had to walk around to the front bar to get served. Hopeless, considering there was only 3 people in the whole hotel at lunchtime. We asked about a counter lunch, he said 'what?' asked him 3 times, all we got was 'what?' we changed the question to one word 'food?' he made a grunt sound while indicating a sign saying Bistro. It wasn't what I'd call a bistro, it was a storage room full of old 'stuff', with a cooking area at the other end. No view unless you are into storage areas. We felt sorry for barman actually, he was wearing a filthy old singlet and looked unkept. We discussed buying him some proper bar tenders clothes, maybe get him a hair cut, possibly shoes? However in typical Ozzie style we voted with our feet until the place lifts it's game. So sad.

Older style pub, with a renovated interior in parts. Definitely a locals hangout, but not in a bad way.
Stopped in here for lunch on our way down the coast. Opted for the seafood chowder and the beef nachos to share.
Chowder was pretty darn good, but maybe a touch too much garlic.
Nachos was also pretty good with a good hit of chilli in the minced beef.
Beers are cold. Staff are friendly.

Met on way down from Sydney's adventure met a big Lad from Korea had some much-needed beers 🍻. Then played some keno and enjoyed some snacks. Got some more drinks at a well stocked bottleo before we headed futher south. Great spot lovely town a must do!!!!

Had children running the bistro????
Didn't let me know that there was an HOUR AND A HALF WAIT for food. No attempt at amends for this were made. Schnitty was burnt and chips were bland. Bar service was okay, good selection on tap. Overall a pretty average experience, most likely won't return until people old enough to vote can serve me my food.
