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.

The meals were all average.... All dishes were cold.... Lamb shanks stone cold with no flavour. The curry was sooo dry with loads of naan bread and rice with few pieces of chicken. The chicken burger was ok, we asked No avo, yes avo was...all over the bread. The only think we all enjoyed was the hot chips. Very disappointed with the whole experience.😪More

Awful Customer Service As I was finishing my food I was abruptly interrupted by a member of staff telling me to move from my table as it was reserved at 4pm. No apology or understanding. Plus my mussels which where a special only contained 6...mussels out of about fifteen shells. Informed management who advised they can do nothing as I ate the 6 mussels.22 bucks for 6 mussels and ten empty shells? No staff asked how my meal was....I was expected to queue to highlight my complaint. Very poor service indeed.More

… the Place seems to have a lack of management. The rest of the staff provides excellent service individually. Quality and presentation of the food very good. A bit cold on the day, to be seated outside. Excellent view of the Bondi Beach.

Great location and view. The room is light and airy and takes full advantage of the view. The food is better than you would expect from an RSL club and the wine list is good. Prices very reasonable and good size servings. Parking can be...an issue but we just got a taxi.More

Very excited to visit bondi beach decided to pop in for a couple of coffees just after noon, hardly anyone in there asked for two coffees to be rudely told that they are a restaurant and that we should try the cafe next door!

Great views, good prices and good for all ages. Fish tacos are probably the best - but all meals were good, including kids meals with free drink and ice cream. Book ahead!

No hats, no umbrellas (dangerous), no music, no vibe. The Nth Bondi RSL is the perfect example of an unwillingness by certain segments of Australia to modernise and embrace culture. A place where innocuous rules stand way above customer satisfaction. This could be a world...class bar and restaurant, on the beach with front row views, but instead of comfort and music, the have beer taps and cheap plastic tables and seats. As you enter you will immediately become aware of being an outsider, signing in, a few rules, and begrudging welcome before an underwhelming food menu and a massive screen playing cricket (does anyone actually watch that “sport”?). It’s a shame these types of people and clubs have maintained a privileged advantage in Australian society, for they have truly added very little apart from beer + beer + beer + no hats.. in summary, and rules and no substance.More

Kieren was so welcoming to our party of ten as he enabled us to all sit together, with breathtaking views over Bondi Beach. The food was outstanding and served almost immediately. Allow time to check in for non visitors as you do get your temperature...checked before entry is allowed.More

We walked from Clovelly for a late lunch and the staff, service and atmosphere was great. The new Covid check in process was very efficient and we were seated even though we arrived 20 minutes early for our booking. The food quality was excellent and...very prompt - would thoroughly recommend the chicken wings! Good selection of beers on tap and the staff were fantastic.More

Arrived after walking from Watson's Bay. The check in procedure was easy with a very friendly lady at the reception counter. Great food - we had a good veggie pizza and Calamari - which was beautifully cooked. A good wine list.

If you have kids, then this place is definitely a miss. Personal requires kids to seat quiet and do not move from their seats. Last I’m here.

Awful service today from the guy in charge of the restaurant. Party of 2, he said go to the bar and I will call you up when there is a space.....every other group entered before us for 50 minutes. We left. Not going back any...time soon. If you go, hustle for a table.More

There is a separate business (a restaurant) under North Bondi RSL Club - I think that is what you are referring to - NOT NBRSL! If so can you please retract / re allocate your comments

No. You can sign in as a guest with ID. But even to do this you normally have to live outside a 5km radius from the club.
