The bistro has had a makeover at some stage, very fancy looking. Booked out so we had to eat in the sports bar. Had the option to order from the bistro menu. Nice food

Very good service so good and very good food I really enjoyed my lunch

Disappointing... lamb souvlaki wrap $26, barely any meat in there, overcooked, 2 huge last bits of a lettuce head to fill up the sandwich!
Chips are overcooked, full of lettuce and huge pieces of cucumber to fill up the sandwich. Asked for tomato sauce and didn't find it.
If I was dining in I would have definitely returned this meal.

Always a family favourite for people out of town. Great reliable food and service with reasonable prices.

Old school bistro style dining experience. No pomp or pageantry, just good quality food, service and reasonable pricing. I really dig the simplicity of this place.

Local Hotel with classic pub vibes and meals and also has a separate dining area.

This is a very busy pub and it's huge. Great variety of food on menu. Have eaten here many times and have always been happy with food. Staff extremely busy but always manage to be friendly. Service can be a little slow but given the number of tables it's to be expected. Gets quite loud but has a nice atmosphere.

fantastic venue for a casual dinner. the burger was superb - best in ages and a great selection of bevvies. One less star for the decor which needs a refresh to really enhance the experience - bit tired. But for what it is - excellent.

It was fine, not many options for people w dietary requirements but staff are accommodating. A pint of soda water was $8 which is a bit steep for fizzy water. Pretty much you see is what you get, if you like the RSL Classic Aussie Pub vibe but make it a bit fancy then you will have a great time.

We chose this because we just wanted a nice, casual place to eat on a Sunday night but one that had a great choice on the menu, and in that regard, they delivered.
You go to your table, choose what you want to eat and go up to order. We did notice food was coming out fairly quickly, but also seemingly randomly considering the way we saw people go up to order. Our meal took way longer than expected, but it was enjoyable when it finally came. The chicken kiev was perfectly golden brown on the outside and the fries were great, and while the rice was lovely, I didn't feel it fit the meal. With that said, everyone liked their meal and I'd come back here again for another casual meal be it lunch or dinner.
They have their own on site parking out the back, or there's plenty out front. The food is well priced and the service is friendly enough. Give this a go!

$40 per person
Teens friendly with pool table
Seniors friendly with pokies
Ample parking

Well deserved 5 star bistrol. Good location, very decent and clean. A bit of everything to entertain young and old. Menu has a good variety of small plate and main. Food is of high quality as a bistrol. Sports bar with pool table for the teens. Poke venue for the senior after dinner. Parking available at the back. Street parking outside the hotel.

$17 parmas on a Monday! We spontaneously came here after we found this deal online. It was well worth it!

Dinner with the crew, second time visiting a pub, spacious room quite busy on a Tuesday night. In the corner the cricket/soccer plays on the screen.
Is $30 for fish & chips standard at places like these? I'm not sure but the serving was HUGE! man sized I'd already planned to get half takeaway before we started. Crispy fries, those flat grilld shaped ones. Salad was blah with only a spot of dressing, we need more lemon. Fish was good though. Tartar sauce a little thick. Friends had the pork salad and parma, both huge and delicious they say.
.
Service was friendly. There was an offer, per 2 mains free bottle of wine! Not my scene, but recommended for huge servings, weeknight dinners, family friendly. $15 parma mondays peaked our interest.

Relaxed casual dining room with plenty of space between tables.
Super clean restrooms. Easy access on Tram route 72.
Courteous service, menu with very explicit and clear info, and my order of well done peppercorn sauce porterhouse steak was impeccable: well done, super tender and super flavoursome. Fab chef!
Five stars on the Michelin scale ❣️
Definitely revisiting and bringing guests, a venue that will not embarrass you with guests.
Thanx everyone at Malvernvale, outstanding job!

This was a really disappointing experience for a Hotel that I previously held in high esteem.

Arrived at 7:30 and ordered a couple of eye fillets medium well and a couple of glasses of Cab Sav.

Nothing too difficult there.

40mins later and steaks still hadn't arrived. A polite enquiry and the waiter returns with a bowl of chips and apology advising there had been a mix up with our order. (Ie forgotten!).

Steaks finally arrive. One is good the other horrible chewy and sinuey.

Then we notice on the table that Tuesday night is free bottle of wine night. Order two mains and get a bottle of red for free. Too bad nobody told us and we had spent $44 on three glasses of red. Poor training for the staff.

The worst part was when my wife complained about the steak the waiter tried to argue the point saying he had come to check on our meals and we said all was ok. True the first bit fine, but then sinue city. Horrible. $43.50 for the Eye Fillet Special. Expected better. Much better. Cost of one steak refunded.

One of the nicest chicken Parmas we have had in a while! $15 pot and Parma, cannot go wrong! Fish was lovely and dessert just topped it! Place had a bustling vibe, especial once it was full. Great sports bar area and staff were a great display of good customer service. The manager even brought a kids drawing pack to our table for our daughter to use.

Great local with friendly bar staff and tasty food. Only advice don't go into the beer garden on a Friday afternoon, wasted tradies!

The online sport bar menu priced a chicken parmigiana at $14 and the home page proudly advertised the '$15 pot and Parma every day' special. Upon arrival we were told that this very special that we came for was not actually available at all. They then also charged us $25 for the parmigiana alone (in the sports bar), which came out within a minute of ordering and had clearly been under a heat lamp for some time as the cheese was congealed and the crumbing was soggy. Can't see any of our group returning after that. Barely scores the single star for having decent enforcement of COVID precautions. Shocking.

Great variety of food to select from, readonably priced, busy today. Worth a visit.

Went down Thursday night for a quiet pint and punt, was having a great time until Keith came over and fingered me. Good experience until then, have to deduct three stars because of this.

Day of looming lockdown so pressure is on..Very friendly request for masks while standing, QR codes clearly visible.Food excellent Salmon and vegetables and a spaghetti marinara and a great bottle of Snobbs Creek Red. So met with our lofty expectations in a really comfortable atmosphere.

Better food at many other places.. including the restaurants within 5 min walk. No Value for Money. Good for a drink or to play pokies.

I have been eating here for well over 20 years. The food it great. And the staff have change. The there al so great. And friendly. Great place

Low cost good quality lunches, good location easy parking.
