We went there for lunch midweek. We had been twice before & although a bit pricey for bistro meals, we were happy enough with the quality & portions. After wandering from table to table to locate a menu, rather than queuing up at the counter for one, it was to the end of the queue I went. Seriously.... queuing for a MENU? I ordered the Lamb Shanks which were described as being slow braised in a rich tomato gravy served on creamy mashed potato. From our highset table I was able to watch the Chef(?) remove the cover of the just nuked shanks & plate them up. Hmmm, slow braised & then nuked! What arrived on my plate was 2 lukewarm shanks amongst a very thin sauce which did not resemble a rich gravy in anyone's language. The mash was more like mush & nothing creamy about it! I sent the meal back, as I'm not about to eat lukewarm food, especially at $28.50. When it came back, Chef (?) got his revenge.... they were so hot I had to wait awhile before I could eat them. I ordered the Herb Encrusted Tuna Steaks for Hubby. What arrived were 2 piddly Tuna cakes. OK, Tuna Steaks & Tuna Cakes sound similar, so the woman who took my order could be forgiven for getting it wrong, however I did say Herb Encrusted Tuna Steaks, not just Tuna Steaks! NOTE TO CASHIER...... if you repeat this similar sounding order before you process the order, you'll have a better chance of getting it right! Granted, the server offered to replace the meal, but Hubby didn't want to make a fuss or hold up my meal. (This was before I discovered that my lamb shanks were lukewarm!) As it was, he was half way through his meal by the time my lamb shanks were returned to me. All in all, it was a total botch up & we will not be back. Now I see that Lamb shanks are the June special at $19.90. Good luck to the brave patrons that order this dish.
this pub knows how to ruin a good time. do not go to this pub. it is a shame as there is nowhere else in morwell to drink. this place cuts people off at 9 every night even weekend. they cut sober people off and kick out whoever they feel like kicking out. i dont think they like to see anyone have a good time because as soon as u act like u are they find a way to kick someone out or cut off your table and send u packing... oh but your fine to purchase takeaways. they do not want your business. very rude bartenders even ruder managers. i have been to the top pub 3 times in the last year and vowed never to step foot in there again. you will have a much better night going to traralgon
