Five Stags Hanmer Springs

The food was really great. Must have a really good kitchen team. This place has a lot of character.nnUnfortunately some things took away from the overall experience:nThe Cleanliness needs some work.nThe Wall we were sat by had food splatters on the wall well above table level.nWater jugs were dirty. Bits floating in water. Glasses spotty.nTheir menu has happy hour deals but doesn't specify that it is weekdays only, Wait person wasn't understanding. Usually menus specify happy hour days.nWe Had to keep asking or looking for sauce.nWe were Overcharged but this was fixed after we realized and mentioned it.

Was very hesitant to visit the restaurant after reading some negative reviews. We had an amazing experience here, and were utterly blown away by the service as well as high quality, tasty food. The chef clearly has attention to detail and is very experienced. We shared the calamari platter with slaw.Wow! The calamari was super tender and the slaw was really tasty too. For mains we had the sirloin steak with veggies, cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Happy hour is between 4-6pm which is handy to know too

Loved this place! It's next to the hotel we stayed at so we had our breakfast here which was delicious and coffee was great. It's just got an awesome feel when you're here with super friendly staff, great decor and good food. Definitely recommend coming here

Wonderful inviting character lodge feel with stone fireplace. Food and service was great. Hubby had the 'Flintstone' steak and said it was the best steak he'd ever had!

There's so much character in this bar. Felt like a hunting lodge with the roaring fire. Nice big windows to see outside pity it was too cold to sit outside. What we really liked about it though was the friendly staff. The bar staff were so helpful when we were deciding on wines and they were knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed it so much we stayed for dinner and even meet the chef. Food was hearty and delicious. Can't wait to come back!
