Merimbula Lakeview Hotel♡

Very Hit and Miss

4.0

We have been coming to Merimbula in November for the past 3 years and always had our evening meal at the pub and thought it was outstanding , but this year something was very different maybe a new chef I don’t know but we both noticed a change . For start last year the scallops were magnificent as an entree this year the sauce was flavourless , and no oysters mornay on the menu . I had oysters natural and they were as always a lovely size and delicious . For main I had the Pork Belly and unfortunately I couldn’t eat it , It couldn’t be cut it was like leather I ate the mash potatoe and broccoli but had to leave the pork entirely , my husband did tell the assistant chef I’m presuming he was but not sure . He did apologise and said he would let the chef know . No offer of a credit , not that we wanted that but I was hungry and would have loved my Pork Belly that I was looking forward to . Overall we were disappointed in the quality of the food Which is shame as we love the pub and the view is top notch . Staff were all pleasant .

Keep the locals happy over the tourists.

Absolutely disgusting. Staff was rude and unprofessional. Went to sit in a table that didn’t have a reserve sign, and was rudely told to move as it was reserved. No apologies just move. We didn’t even stay to eat after that. Just left. I’ll give any business a damn tip, keep the locals who keep you in business during the quiet seasons happy. We will not be back.

Great spot for a drink and meal.

Visited a couple of times for a drink and thoroughly enjoyed. A sensational outlook, staff welcoming, beer and wine prices reasonable. Menu looks good.

I saw this hotel had mixed reviews and as I was intending on staying a night in Merimbula I thought I’d at least check it out. I can’t understand the negative reviews that I read because it was excellent. Staff were friendly went out of their way to assist, including this young man called Aaron. Absolutely nothing a problem gave me great advice about the area and what was great to eat on the menu.

Don’t waste your time!

Terrible place - was overcharged, twice! The staff are unprofessional, argumentative and lack customer service. Too many drunk bogans around and staff members couldn’t care less. Food was average. It took over an hour to arrive and was cold. I wouldn’t waste your time, go to the RSL instead.

Great food & service

We dropped in at 4pm & loved the extended lunch special menu. Both ordered the steak with chips & salad which was Scotch & chose the mushroom sauce. It was cooked to perfection & even though on the lunch specials board was not a thin cheap option. A table looking out to the water & very friendly staff to top it off. If we were staying in Merimbula longer we'd be back for sure. Well done to Lakeview Hotel.
