Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I can’t stop raving about this restaurant. Went with 17 family members for dinner. The service was outstanding. We were all seated quickly and full table service included drink orders being taken. The menu wasn’t extensive but definitely offered enough alternatives. I had the seafood tasting plate which was worth every cent of the $65 price tag. The salmon, prawns, calamari, mussels and scallops were fresh and cooked to perfection. Hubby and our teenager had the steak which they both loved.
If you’ve got room left after your main meal, try the dessert menu. The cold chocolate pudding with raspberry sorbet was magnificent.

Cozy restaurant next to a hotel, so reservations are recommended. Smooth operation. Delicious meal with ditto wines. It's always nice when your food is served on a warm plate, something you don't often experience in Aus,

The food here is very good. We had our first kangaroo steak and it was ok just not our taste but we were pleased to have tried it here. Starters were the skewers they were very nice. Scallops perfectly cooked and noodles for main as well which were scrummy with added prawns. Great desserts too. The service here is very attentive from the Clovelly lovelies they make a trip here special. Thank you from your UK visitor’s..

I’ve eaten here several times over 4 years and always found staff to be fabulous, very friendly and attentive, range of food on the menu is great and all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) always delicious. The restaurant is so clean and inviting and music is great and at a level you can hear your partner talk. Always walk away happy.

Restaurant was attached to Best Western Hotel in Warrnambool, Australia. Lamb rack with accompanying veggies, warm bread, and delicious warm pear and ice cream dessert was outstanding. The waitstaff were efficient and accommodating. All in all a very pleasant eating experience.

We came as a group of six without a booking, but they found us a table and were patient while we fussed about what we wanted. In truth, the choices were too many and too attractive. We had a mix of beer and wine drinkers, vegetarians, meat, fish, and pasta eaters. All were satisfied and counted their choices as memorable. The decor is pleasant and the staff knew their jobs well. Service was great.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations. Three of us really enjoyed the whole experience from the expertise and friendliness of the two waiters, Ebony and Tain, to the delightful food including scallops so tender they melted in your mouth to chilli beef pasta and chocolate brownies smothered in vanilla bean ice cream. Good range of drinks and I enjoyed the Gin and Tonics too. Highly recommend if you are staying in Warrnambool!

Staying at the associated Inn (Best Western Olde Maritime), on the first night of my trip, I decided to dine in the restaurant, enjoy a glass or two of wine knowing I didn't have to drive. The meal was so delicious and the staff so friendly, it was an easy decision to dine there again the following night. Barramundi the first night and Rib Eye the second night. Pinot Noir both nights. Delicious. Thank you to the team for your hospitality.

I stayed with my family over at the Olde Maritime Best western and I really enjoyed the breakfast and meals from the restaurant. Staff was extremely friendly and made sure myself and my children were looked after. Quality, taste and presentation was excellent! I will definitely be back. A special thank you to Courtney at the restaurant.
Best local restaurant in Warrambool.

A lovely quaint bar/restaurant round the corner with a unexpected warm ambience upon entering. Albeit the slightly vintage decor; the comfortable welcomes brings one to feel right at home.
Service was excellent even though it was full house; the wait was a little long but it’s understandable for the quality of food and service they provide.
We were tired from our long drive and the cheerful disposition of the service crew lifted our spirits instantly.
We had Surf & Turf & the Asian Scallop Salad.
Food was well seasoned & the steak was lovely!
Portions was reasonable and despite our stuffed tummies, ending the meal with their sticky pudding was definitely worth the guilt.
In addition, they open on Mondays! (Thank God for that) Definitely do recommend heading there for a meal!

Cosy and warm with lovely fire place burning and our hostess Fiona went out of her for us. The food was unexpectedly out of this world. We both had crab filled mushrooms for entrée, which left us craving more and trying to work out how they made it. It was delicious! Then came snapper, which melted in our mouth. This little restaurant was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely highly recommend.

Amazing food, amazing staff (very friendly & helpful). We had the vegetarian lasagne, fish of the day (flake) & kids steak. Adult dishes came with probably the best chips ‘flat chips’ I’ve ever had. Highly recommend and we’ve eaten at some top level restaurants in Melbourne & other spots around the world. Well done to the crew!

No1 in Warrambool?
The sweet potato gnocchi was hand made with a medley of mushrooms. We could have lived without the shiitake mushrooms. Very leathery.
The desert cake was very dry. However it had a great caramel sauce. The medley of ice cream with waffles was great.
Staff were very knowledgeable as they have a tasting afternoon every week ( this place understands customer service).
Prices were reasonable for the food. And the little Easter egg on the table at arrival was a nice touch.
Worth the visit to decide for yourself

What a beautiful meal.
We had the fish and pork belly. The fish was perfectly baked with a delicious couscous salad. The Pork was delicious with a perfectly balanced fresh leafy salad.
The staff were attentive and made sure we were well looked after. Thanks Ebony, Tanya and Carly.

Due to Covid restrictions, diners were spread out in the rooms but this still made for a lovely evening. The food was excellent as was the wine and service by pleasant staff. The scallops for starter and meat skewers for main course were very tasty and nicely presented. Highly recommended.
