Very confusing entrance and dual roadways in....we got a bit lost trying to find out way in and where to park at this venue.
Huge refurbishment has obviously taken place, the outside appearance is big, bright and grand. However.....when we arrived at 4:00 hoping to get afternoon coffee & cake- the front desk told us the only place available was the gaming/ pokie lounge ☹️. Our drinks were ok, but the atmosphere was far from ideal for coffee & a chat. The server suggested we could sit outdoors and enjoy the sun in the "smoking area" but for health reasons this option was also not suitable.
Disappointing that such a huge venue had nowhere nice to cater for us.

The steak is super salty and we ordered medium but it came out with well done. Over well done in fact. Not only that. The steak was super salty. Not just my dish, my mother's too.

I experienced the Manningham Hotel for an engagement last weekend and was extremely impressed with everything! The food (cocktail servings) was delicious and plentiful and the atmosphere pleasant. The point of this review however is to commend the wonderful staff that day, particularly the two young waiters, Julian and Connor. For their young age, both performed their duties with respect, attentiveness and professionalism. Admiring their excellent service as a team, I made a point to discreetly pass on this feedback to their Supervisor, Tamara. After speaking with Tamara, I could see how the waitstaff is chosen, for she too presented with warmth and professionalism. It takes great staff to elevate an establishment and on this occasion, Manningham Hotel left a lasting positive impression, with no hesitation to return or highly recommend.

Been coming here for the last couple years, a little more quiet than most pubs, which however doesn't bother me. Food and service is great. - Richard

Booked the K Bar for my 70th and I wasn't disappointed. From the very first enquiry right through to the end of the evening everything was seamless. Barbara was very helpful and patient when putting the event together and on the night Tamara and staff were fantastic. The atmosphere, the service and food all made for an unforgettable evening.

Overall the experience at the venue where we held the Gender Reveal of our baby was very good. There were a few things that could have been done better but we trust they will be improved. We would surely count on this venue for future events!

We held my sons 1st birthday there. Venue was clean and had tables set up like we discussed. They did the catering as well and everyone was extremely happy. Special mention to Shemaly Tamara and Barbara for accommodating last minute changes as well.

Booked the Ben Nevis room at the Manningham Hotel. Had a very positive experience. Staff were friendly, helpful and excellent to work with. Special shout out to Barbara and Tamara who helped tirelessly on the night and to Barbara who answered all our questions leading up to the event. Highly recommend having your function at the Hotel.

Venue with an imposing facade and large drive in Portico with a water feature running down the entrance pathway.
Heaps of off street parking.
Staff are friendly and attentive. The function room I was in on the second floor is off to one side and holds around 250 people with a dance floor and floor to ceiling windows. Food at the function I attended was generous and attractively plated.

Went there for my birthday on Saturday, ordered seniors Parma. Size excellent but schnitzel was cold and not shallow fried probably oven heated store bought with cold tomato paste under the ham and cheese that weren't broiled enough. Chips were store bought but we're excellent, but no dressing on the salad greens. Very disappointing as it doesn't take much to make a good meal in the kitchen I wouldn't think.

Meal was fantastic. Chips cooked to perfection, steak nice an tender.
Staff were friendly and welcoming and provided excellent service.

Fathers Day was terrible. Service was poor.Meals took over an hour to be served. One of group they completely forgot and didn't get her meal well after the rest of us had finished our meals. The food, I would class it as a "canteen" standard. presentation non existent, missed sauces, apology for a T bone steak, pricey and very poor selection on the menu. I wouldn't recommend anyone visit here with a group for a celebration. It's a pity because the venue is very impressive and the staff friendly. Their kitchen let the venue down.

4 of us enjoyed our meals and appreciated the reasonable prices for non senior meals. All our meals were delicious. Our waitress warned us to order early as a big group were soon arriving, really appreciated that advice

Took my one hundred year old mother in law for lunch. I let it slip that it was a special day, her birthday. Giselle was extra nice to us and offered free cake and coffee. Very nice gesture...... top marks from me, a regular and happy customer.

Have not been back for some 18 months as food was sub standard but on my recent visit on the 1/06/2023, have things changed in the restaurant. All totally refurbished with new carpet, tables, chairs and kitchen. We had sirloin steaks which were cooked to perfection, delightful salad and chips. Enjoyed it so much went back on Friday night 03/06-2023 this time had roast of the day and my friend had sirloin steak again. Both meals were most enjoyable. Club has now won me over and look forward to going back again soon.

Whelp, here goes my first ever Karen.

My teenager had their Yr 12 formal at The Manningham. My child has nut allergies, and so was asked to provide this info before the formal, without knowledge of what was going to be prepared.

As it came to dinner, steaks and fancy chicken dishes were given out to students, and my child was given....a plate of rice and beans.

I understand that allergies can be tough to cater for, but it's ridiculous to put them all in the same category. My child can eat meat, can eat dairy, can eat shellfish - but there is one all-inclusive "allergy option" and because of the limitations and lack of care from serving staff, it ends up being a step above prison rations.

This would be fine if my child was charged less for this meal than their peers who were enjoying a steak - but no, this is an all inclusive part of a $100+ ticket. Come on. I could feed a family of 12 on rice and beans for $10 dollars. It's a basic poverty staple, not a high end meal.

How hard is it to make a vegan meal without nuts in it? Allergy and vegan friendly food does not need to be depressing. And this was.

Took my Aunt for a birthday lunch and had not been there before. Was impressed with the cleanliness and presentation of the premises but it was downhill from there. The young man behind the bar was friendly and efficient but my compliments stop there. We both ordered roast beef, not too difficult I would have thought. I was wrong. After a few mouthfulls I gave up on the beef as it was like shoe leather. The veggies were of different stages of being cooked. Two potatoes, one was well cooked, the second could have been used as a golf ball. My Aunt could not chew her beef and I suspect both serves had been reheated. The meat was left on her plate and she said her veggies were not acceptable either. How hard does the "chef" find it to cook a roast meal, even to get one part of the meal correct. While the surroundings were very nice the food was appaling

We had a 21st birthday function in the Sports Bar last weekend. The hotel staff leading up to the event and on the night were very happy to answer any questions and to help with anything. The Sports Bar was a fun venue and was perfect for our event. I would recommend this venue for a similar function and repeat how diligent the staff would be in assisting to make it a success. The food (finger food) was of excellent quality too! The venue was clean and it was great to be able to use the data projector and screens. Thanks to all the great staff involved!

Meals were lovely and well priced. Was surprised to see how empty the place was for such a lovely place. Clean and well maintained, staff were all nice and we stayed longer for an extra drink just because of how relaxing and nice the place felt.

Great farewell party for my friend Ross Talarico. Lovely venue. Huge hotel with nice meals and good security. AAA

Went with a very large group of about 40 people on Sunday for a double birthday party. Although, the service was slow, the food and the staff were great. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Just another waste on money spent on a building that has no personality or character. Service was all about inexperienced staff. So not aiming at the staff doing best, it's management that has a poor sence of hospitality.
Food was fish$chip shop quality at best and had no true connection to prices.
Pokies cause social damage and death of a good night in any of the pubs they have ruined.... Food made of wool looks and l bet tastes better:(

Very impressive and very large complex. Went with a group of 20 people and all but one had a great meal, good service (so avoid the roast dinner). Loads of parking. Current road works and resulting congestion in the area make access difficult. Worth going to support them during the freeway construction.

Not fair to review menu, because it was set for a large function. While beef and chicken options looked okay, the vegetarian dish wasn't. Finger food was good. Noisy ambient music during keynote speech... Staff needed prompting to switch off

Visited the Bistro on Sunday evening for dinner with my family. Although the meals took a while to come out, they were delicious. A special shout-out to the two young waiters who took care of us - despite being run off their feet at times, these young men gave us courteous and professional customer service.
Thank you! We'll definitely be back!

A very nice place to go for lunch and dinner.We have been there three times already. The service was very good indeed and the restaurant provides a warm and welcome atmosphere as well. We will definitely go there with friends again.

Great Staff,Food was Enjoyable.Will go again.

Reasonably priced meals. Pretty Average. Bit dated

Lacking in atmosphere. Food average but has improved last time I was there, 3years ago. I wouldn't rush back.

Thanks Manningham for a nice dinner again after nearly 12 months (covid) absence. Staff very friendly and our food was delicious. I had senior's steak and my husband had the burger. Both very enjoyable.Thank you

We visit here sometimes just for a drink, other times for meals. We always find the service friendly and efficient and we are always greeted with a smile at reception. The meals are of a consistently good standard, with meat and fish always cooked the way we like it. There is a well appointed outdoor seating area which is pleasant to sit in during the warmer weather. Overall a great venue.
