Me and my friends went for day trip to Philip Island on Valentine's Day and there is power outage going on in the island. This RSL is the only eatery place opened with Generator and serving lunch. It was quite busy and we waited for almost an hour for food. Food was amazing and I like every dish including entree. My main course is fish of the day and fish was grilled to perfection. All the seafood items are super fresh and I am very satisfied with my Valentine's lunch. Servers are all very attentive and friendly. I will remember my dine in experience at this place.

Absolutely beautiful food & beautiful atmosphere, Lilly at the door was absolutely gorgeous to us, the way she greeted us, her beautiful smile & definitely very well experienced, was run off her feet & kept smiling. I asked her what her name was as we were leaving & she told us to have a good night.
Keep up the great work & service.

We are visiting at Phillip island and how nice to find this place through Google! The place lived up to its reviews - food selection and portion was great, there were activity colouring kits provided for kids + kids menu and indoors playground and some rides!

Ambience was so relaxing hubby and I were happy to have some proper food vs sweets and cafe food. Not to forget great coffee too ๐Ÿ˜Š highly recommended!

Cozy place to dine in here. Looks like it come with an area full with slot machines for gambling. Hence you are required to show your ID or passport before granted for entrance. We visited this place for dinner after the penguin parade at Philip Island๐Ÿ˜ service crews are all friendly and nice too ๐Ÿ˜‡ highly recommended๐Ÿ˜Š you can get free hot drinks from the slot machine areas too!

Enjoyed the food so much, ordered the (Lamb) Roast of the day, Chicken Parmigiana and Fish Barramundi (forgot to take a photo!) and it was all so good! The lamb was so tender and the side vegetables were perfect! The parmigiana was seasoned perfectly layer after layer! The barramundi was perfect for the fish &chips, supple and mild and goes along so well with the crispy chips! Also appreciated the special menu/price for our senior friends!

The service from Aileen was impeccable from the moment we arrived, as we're shown to our table, from making sure we have everything we need and until we finished our meal! She was making sure we enjoyed the food and the experience!

It was the perfect mid treat from our Phillip Island experience! Kudos!

The service was excellent and I would recommend everyone to the good food that arrived so quickly, the atmosphere and service provided to us in every way. I also want to shout out a very special staff Josh Henderson who gave us excellent ??'? care to all of us from the very start. He made us feel so welcome. We will certainly be back. Thank you RSL Phillip Island. Well done ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hubby and I had a lunch date at the Phillip Island RSL today. Lovely breeze and sunshine so we chose to sit on the Terrace. Table service after we ordered at the cashier point inside, it was only about 10 minutes if that, before our Entree was brought to our table. Main Course arrived about 10 minutes after they collected our dishes from entrees. Our main meals were above average, quite delicious if I can say that...serving size just right. Thanks once again for a happy lunch date for hubby and I

The star is amazing. I would give the 10 stars. Very family friendly staff. The food some was good and other lacked some flavor. We had chicken parmigiana, sweet and sour chicken and chicken ticks masala and pasta. As you can see from the pictures all played were wiped out. We were very hungry so took the pictures late ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ I will definitely come back again to this place. Highly recommended if you are visiting Phillip Island.

I have just spent the last 2 days here using the Anzac room for an event. The staff were amazing, going above and beyond to accommodate our group. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The venue was extremely clean, well presented and a beautiful reminder of the fallen who served to protect us. Thank you for making our weekend run smoothly and feel so special.

I stopped going there for 10 years because the food was terrible. Today I was back because we had a gathering and I'm glad I came. This place has improved by leaps and bounce. I had the fish of the day and it was absolutely delightful. So yummy. The service is also excellent. I'm coming back here again after such a long hiatus.

What a beautiful RSL the Phillip Island RSL is! From the fabulous 'Bev' at Reception, through to the open fire, beautiful restaurant and incredible food. It was a perfect night.
Tips:
- do book as they have 2 dinner service times
- enquire about their Courtesy Bus (if you don't wish to drive)
- take your Seniors Card (if appropriate) for colossal meal deals

We are tourists visiting for a quick couple of days. Stopped in to the RSL for dinner, dropped some money on the pokies, had a couple of drinks. The staff here are fantastic. The food was fine. I took a risk and ordered the cauliflower steak which was confusing flavours, not good and I would not recommend. Otherwise we'd go again

Two stars for the food and the sign in process. I would have given 5 stars for the charming bar tender and the good price of the soda water and lime. The calamari on my thai salad was greasy, salad was fine. Hubby's risotto was barely luke warm, better described as cold. Roast of the day had run out hence the risotto. Unless you're a senior and qualify for $16 meals, meals are $24-40, so not good value in my opinion. Also, unless every adult has a membership or a licence, you won't be permitted entry which in the age of smart phones is harder to take. We had a table of 10 or so, our meals came out in three stages with at least 15 minutes wait. The timing made no sense as we were all together when ordering although we each took turn to order and pay, we were together in line. Also, we received our meals before others at our table who had ordered before us. Like I said, the bar tender was great and very attentive. The rest lived up to my prior experience which hadn't been great.

Typical RSL food on offer here, daily specials add some interest. The serves are generous, the prices a little higher than you would expect. They do offer a seniors meals, which looked to be excellent value.

Little bit pricey but very tasty! Had the southern fried burger and it was so juicy and tasty. Not to mention crispy. Very worth the money. Fast service as well.

A very comprehensive menu at reasonable prices for ordinary patrons and a larger than normal menu for seniors, also at very reasonable prices. Service was a little slow but we had all meals served to the table simultaneously which is not always the case. Excellent surroundings with adequate distance to the Gaming Machines so no noise penetrates the Dining Room.Plenty of parking space with adequate designated Disabled parking bays close to the entrance. We will certainly go again.

Was a bit ordinary. The steak was tasty but tough. The vegies were cold and the mash spuds were sloppy.
Always nice to donate to the RSL though. ๐Ÿ˜Š
