Play Pokies at The Settlement At Cranbourne Cranbourne

We had dinner here , whilst the service was attentive and efficient our food was not the best.
We ordered the chicken parmigiana, mine was cold and my husband's pink.
They took it back only to bed told that the chef said it was the blood vien in the chicken.
He then got his replacement chicken and towards the end his chicken was pink all the through the remainder.
Very disappointed.

Thought I would give lunch another go as the first time was horrible. The second time was just as bad. Not many people in so I thought food would be nice hot and fresh, far from it. I had chicken schnitzel, it stated panco crumbs which were not. The chicken was tough felt like it was cooked earlier and reheated. The vegetables tasted like they were also reheated. I normally don't complain but this time I told the waitress that the chicken was tough and chewy, they replaced the whole meal. Replacement was just as bad as the first although they must have placed the crumbed chicken back into the deep fryer to try and crisp up, with no success apart from it being hotter. The vegetables were covered with some lemon seasoning or juice which was horrible. Waste of money didn't eat much of it. My friend had chicken scolipini and stated that her chicken was dry, but she couldn't be bothered to complain. The third friend had a ceaser salad and the croutons were sugard. Won't be going there again.

Sadly a low review from me.

This venue is not pram friendly. I have a 5 month old and had to manipulate and carry the pram down the stairs as there is no ramp to go down.

Now we get to the service. Sadly not long after arriving we were told to hurry up and order as the kitchen was going to be busy soon (no one at my table was concerned about waiting as we were just enjoying the company.this is a table of at least 10 people). Upon going to order our food which yes was an easy process I noticed the trays of side salad left open under the heat lamps, this is the salads that were being served to the customers one of which was my wife. By the time it got to the table it was wilted dead and very unappealing.

I myself ordered the Roast of the day. Sadly this was no better very over cooked and under seasoned just thrown onto the plate with very little care. The sad thing about my experience today was that the best part of my meal was the side dish I ordered and that was a side of chips.

Another concern I have is that there was a steak ordered on the table and when I asked how it was meant to be cooked I was told that it was supposed to be medium rare. I took one look at this steak and knew it was over cooked. Upon seeing the inside it confirmed what I already knew.

After the sub par meal the table I was on were happily sitting around and were told to leave because they needed to set up for dinner or something else. While this is perfectly plausible for a restaurant you might want to make sure that the lunch service is fully booked out before you push out a massive table.

I certainly won't be returning to this venue. The management here needs to be re trained or replaced as they are the ones who asked us to leave and sit in another part of the venue.

After working in hospitality I know first hand that this is not how you treat a paying customer.

Went to bistro for the first time since new owners took over. Food very average and certainly not worth price paid. my entree and mains flavourless, hubby's entree was nice but his steak was overcooked and grissly, senior roast for MIL was dry
Service not much better

Great cozy spot for dinner or even lunch. Has a very rustic feel with a fireplace on and open area that goes out to the outdoor dining area. We ate in the bistro area. Service was great and quick to get our food.
Ordered the calamari which I think was good but have had better, definitely passable. Had the aranchini balls too which were great! Would definitely go back.
