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.

Always a great place for a family meal. Great food including local Oysters and seafood. Wines of very high standard, that are very affordable, and great sea views on the deck.

I was really disappointed when I ordered a hamburger . It was not cooked properly. When I complained to the manager he said that on the menu it is listed as “medium” This could mean medium size! I have never heard of a medium cooked...hamburger. It is unappetising and possibly unhealthy.More

This hotel has been recently renovated and is a beautiful place with magnificent views. Good atmosphere and there was live music the night we came. Food was good although I would have preferred a garlic bread to the German pretzel we did choose. All good...though and friendly staffMore

October Fest lunch. Any one who has been to or lived in Germany like me would be upset with your "Sauerbraten". Its was nothing better than a tough tasteless pot roast. If you want to do international cooking you will have to do better.

Undercooked very oily calamari and parma, we couldn't eat it as it was making us feel ill. We told the guy who served us and asked for a refund as we ate less than a quarter of the meal, he rudely said no with no...apology. We will not be back.More

Amazing pub - views, atmosphere, food, staff - particularly management, and the BEER! Stayed in Tathra for 7 chilex nights and dined out at the pub every night. If you appreciate great food/are adventurous - must try octopus and sausage!! Delish food and caters for...all tastes - good value for the portions...every meal great presentation. Sunday roast is yum. Thank you all at Tathra Pub/Tathra Hotel bistro. A&J (Canberra)More

Nice to have a fireside meal. Calamari was recommended and was good. Generous serving, lightly battered. Nice salad. Calamari not rubbery. Recommend.

Went for dinner at the Tathra Hotel with some friends. Tried booking a week before but the restaurant inside was completely booked our. Was given the option of arriving early and getting a table out on the deck which what we did. Luckily it had...been a nice day and was quite comfortable out on the deck. Listened to one of the live bands playing which was great Fantastic venue with great ocean views. At times there were long lines for drinks and to order meals but by the time we ordered the line wasn't that long and the meals arrived within a reasonable time. I had the Fish and Chips which was very nice. Everybody else enjoyed their meals and were very happyMore

Had fried fish and chips but never again. Allegedly called fish of the day but it was clearly some frozen thing out of the freezer aisle at Cole’s. A bulk pack I assume. The batter however was great so they’re doing something ok here, just...not the fish. Pretty expensive too. I wish I’d sent it back. People seemed to be enjoying the beers though. Oysters not bad but pricey! $46 for a for a dozen natural. Geez. Don’t go for the food.More

We had lunch there yesterday. The menu is similar to other Restaurants,in the Sapphire Coast, but the standard of food is very high and well presented. And they have GF options.
