I went there last night with my partner ( 12 March 2022) and spent $250 on the worst meal either of us have ever had. The hostess was incredibly rude - apparently as we are not “regulars” we do not count- well after last night...honey - no chance. Despite being the first people to order it was over an hour before we received entree. The Regulars to out left came in after us, ordered after us, ate before us, left as we received our entree. Excuse me but is not living in Ballan a dining crime? So the entree was $40 per dozen oysters kilpatrick, excuse me chef do you know the definition of this dish?? Because I assure it is not grilled to a pebble oysters dipped in solidified bbq sauce. That’s no cheese onion or bacon. If you are obtuse as they obviously are. Next was my $40 rump steak (price/quality theme??? Possibly..) Even after waiting an hour while drinking I could not eat this steak. It was that bad. I chewed and I chewed …. And I chewed… but I could not swallow - because my jaw hurt so much. All I could do was spit it out and ask for a doggy bag, for my actual dog, because that’s all it was worthy of. The owner was not worried that I could not eat my meal- happily bagged it up at full price. The chips were soggy and saggy- no joy there either My partner went the sticky ribs option- surprise this the same 300 x cooked commercial “master foods” bbq sauce the oysters were crucified in For reasons above we opted out of the dessert option Any good will eliminated when the hostess slammed our bottle of wine onto the table growling THAT’s $40 on top of the dreadful food was the dreadful attitude Go anywhere else in Ballan but hereMore
