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.

Great service from courtesy bus pickup & staff were all fantastic, but if you are someone that appreciates quality restaurant food, this is not the place for you. It is very basic food, and obviously just cooked as quick as they can get it out - no real quality or care with meals. Our kids couldn’t even eat the Nuggets - chicken was not great. Again, great service & location, but food was a 2/5.

Several dinners here over the holidays in January. Despite being incredibly busy, the dining was absolutely amazing. We had four dinners at Club Sapphire and enjoyed them all. All meals were of the highest quality and promptly presented to the table by friendly staff. Highly recommend the Duck Breast Al Balsamico & Sapphire Scotch Fillet. Rockefeller oysters also outstanding. Well done to the staff. We dined at the much hyped Wharf restaurant which was thoroughly disappointing (and far more expensive).

Easy to book in for dinner online. Friendly, fast service and the food was incredible. My partner had the scotch fillet w/ oysters, mash and veg and I had the scotch fillet with chips and salad. The scotch was cooked perfectly and the mushroom gravy was perfect 👌. Thank you for a lovely dining experience on our trip 🙂.

We stopped in Merimbula passing through and didn’t make a booking we waited over an hour just for a table. We got there at 6pm got our table at 7.45pm then waited 40 minutes for our meals to arrive. The cutlets were average in presentation looked liked it was just put together without much care. Beans were soggy, potato mash was cold.
most of Food was fresh, calamari was very tender. Staff were polite and helpful.
They informed us of a community custory bus, they failed to tell us, that the bus leaves from a different location having a elderly parent who cant walk far, we waited 40 mins for the bus but they sent 3 buses out failed to inform us. There staff need to communicate better between them.
We ended up walking home nearly 3kms with elderly parent.
Wont be returning there again.
Not real cheap either average main meal is about $38.00

Thank you for your review regarding your visit to the Club on the 4th January. As you can appreciate, due to the increase in visitors to our area during January, our Bistro that evening already had 501 guests booked, hence the reason for your long wait for a table. We do apologise that your meals were not up to the standard we hope to achieve here at the Club. We hope that you discussed this with our friendly staff on the evening so that this could have been rectified straight away. Our average meal price is between $28-$30. We apologise for the delay with our courtesy bus that evening & hope you discussed this with door staff on the night.

Can't remember a worse meal at any sports club in Australia. I started with a dozen oysters Kilpatrick which were promptly delivered cold. I took the remaining 11 to the waitress asking for them to be put under the grill for a few more minutes. She soon returned with the oysters now luke warm. A few minutes later the lead waitress came over and said she hoped they were better second time around and when told they were delivered luke warm she agreed, observing the shells were spotlessly clean and the sauce hadn't scorched on the shells as she would expect to see. A few minutes later our mains arrived (Lamb mignon). The accompanying veggies were so hard they were almost raw and the mignon was really tiny. We cut into our mignons to reveal a very rare piece of meat...blood red. So rare my wife couldn't eat it. I politely asked a passing waitress if the mignons were always served this rare and her response was "I don't know, I suppose so."
We left so disappointed. The chefs' attempts were dismal and waitresses seemed unconcerned with customer satisfaction. We'll never return. Pity as it's a beautiful clubhouse with great drink prices.

Having never been to Merimbula before and we had just driven 5 hours for our holiday, so needless to say that we hadnt made a booking for dinner. We were told we could wait for a table as we didnt have a booking, we got there at 5pm dinner began at 5.30pm, we were asked to wait for a table. There was 4 of us a teenager, 2 senior citizens one whom had trouble walking and nearing 80yo.
We kept enquiring when we may get a table finally at 8.30pm over 3 hours waiting for a table was disgusting then when we ordered it was another 45 mins before we got our meals, which consisted of soup, and pasta and salad. It was really expensive. They offered us a bus back to our accomodation so i waited with the 80 year old who couldnt walk very far at all.
We waited where we were told the courtesy bus left from, only to wait another half an hour only to be told when we enquired again where the bus was they had moved the pick up point failed to tell us, we were informed that the bus driver would be having a break for half hour as he had done 6 runs while we had been waiting. 10.15pm comes around we waited where the new pick up was from only to be told that we had missed the bus as the driver had loaded it up.
Terrible service, so my dad let them know he was far from impressed, so we ended up walking back to our accommodation 5km walk away. When we were going out of the building, the tired near 80yo who had trouble walking feel down the outside exit stairs as it had been raining and steps were slippery. No one came out to see if he was injured, which he was then we stil had to walk the 5kms back to the accomadation.

Its taken a while to write this review as I don’t like leaving negative feedback but here goes.the. Chef needs lessons on how to make a Mornay souce for lobster instead of the hard cheese thing put on my wife’s one.my lamb shanks were very tender but spoiled by a think brown yuk tasting sauce. Our first course of prawns were ordered as garlic prawns but when they arrived they were just red cooked prawns in a lot of garlic cream and tough to boot.the bill was around $90 for the biggest load of rubbish food I have ever been served with.As a new member of the club it was very disappointing and we haven’t return there since.It seems the chef needs to go back to school in basic cooking and start again!!!

Ordered a curry, and it was very poor. There was no curry taste at all and was more like a beef goulash. It was served in a cold plate which sucked the heat right out of the food and rendered it lukewarm.
As a holiday couple up from Melbourne for eight days, I doubt that we’ll return to this club’s restaurant.

Full marks. Had lamb shanks for dinner which was superb. Very well organised set-up, from online booking, seat allocation, meal ordering, and even waiter service of the meal to our table. A great experience.

Went for lunch - first visit in a long time. We should've known what it would be like but we gave the benefit of the doubt. Seafood bowl was supposed to have salad - none served. Tiny piece of fish but the chips were terrible. Almost all of mine were flat, overcooked and completely dried out. Husband had flathead tails but his chips were also dreadful. His salad was woeful. Young waitress kept reaching across us whilst we were eating dessert to take away plates. She then took my cup while it was still half full of coffee. If the food is going to be poor at least train your staff better. Had intended coming for dinner with friends but not after this experience.

This is really a whole club experience.
We were booked in for the bistro but arrived early and experienced Kitty's for a cocktail and drinks. This was a very cool place that we had no idea about. We wished we could have stayed longer in there and even tried their share plates, but next time we visit.
The bistro had a good vibe, minimal noise for how busy it was.
The food was delicious. I have lots of dietary requirements and they were able to cater for me (DF, GF, NF and Fructose Free) and make some changes with absolute ease.
There was live music on the night we were there and the musician was fabulous.
A really great vibe.

Great venue, amazing staff, friendly, smiles everywhere, clean, good service. I had lobster mornay 2 nights running with a mixed oyster starter and the food was 5 star and amazing value, free ice cream for the kiddies. What a gem, I can’t recommend highly enough. Very family friendly, stroller and high chairs no probs at all.

Easy to book a table online for dinner. Lovely friendly staff and meals arrived quickly even though the bistro was already quite full. I had the crying tiger beef which was a Thai style meal and it was so delicious. Husband has the Texas Parmigiana was said it was amazing. Generous serving, we didn't leave hungry! Good value.

We ordered the chicken schnitzel with chips and salad and the kids ordered nuggets and chips + green veg. The side salad and dressing was actually very nice and my favourite part. The schnitzel and chips was as expected and the food came out in record time. A Standard safe bet if you’re not sure where to dine out.

We visited for drinks and spent some time playing the poker machines. By comparison with the RSL which was the only other club we visited in town, the staff seemed quite disinterested in providing friendly customer service. Perhaps it was the strain of ensuring COVID restrictions were adhered to, but the greeting we received on entry was stern and impolite and the attitude of bar staff not much better. We had been informed by locals that food and service there was a bit hit and miss, we experienced the service side and therefore were not willing to attempt the food. The venue itself is very nice, hopefully they improve on other aspects.

Thank you for your feedback Denise H and our apologies that your experience here was not a positive one. We are usually praised for the friendliness of our staff. We are taking the COVID restrictions very seriously but that shouldn't affect our customer service. We hope you give our club another chance so we can show you the service we pride ourselves on.
