The food isn't cheap and the quality is shocking, thinnest steaks I've ever had, bordering on minute steaks Chips undercooked, don't expect much from a bistro like this but still fall short

Looking out onto the lake, this yacht club restaurant wins on atmosphere. Great family feel with pleasant staff. Tricky to find. An outside wedding was taking advantage of the great outdoor location as well.

Had a meal in the bistro, the steak was burn, the oyster Kirkpatrick was dried out. Terrible food.

It really is that. A place to grab a drink and play the pokies etc. Sure there is a dress code, sure the staff are pleasant....but if you were a visitor to Canberra? Your not missing anything.

Canberra has lots of clubs with poker machines, sports and dining. The Southern Cross club has multiple venues including the nice club by the lake with sailing classes and lake based cruising.

As a Canberra local as a family we would often visit the Southern Cross Club for dinner. Unfortunately over the years their interest seems to be in getting as many members and poker machines into the club that they can.
