Ballarat Yacht Club

Well what can I say. You can't visit Ballarat and not visit here. There's Commodore Colin Littlejohn has done a fantastic job reinvigorating this little rough diamond. The food and service her is wonderful. The staff are excellent. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced, so whether breakfast lunch or dinner they have u covered. The views of Lake Wendouree are spectacular. If highly recommended anyone passing through should stop by the here.

Very nice view, family atmosphere ans friendly staff. Well priced and tasty dishes. We got the calamary and a scotch fillet. Both of them were good. Then we got a blueberry and almond tart and a choc fudge cookie which were also good. Glad to have come to Ballarat and lunched here.

Having arrived on time for a previously booked lunch for six people we were shown to a table and seated. It immediately became apparent that the table was located under an air conditioning vent, with one of the seats being so impacted that the person involved had their hair "blowing in the wind". When this was queried, the helpful staff member fetched another person who we gathered to be the venue manager, who proceeded to inform us in a quite "blunt" manner that the only option was to turn off the cooling system, which would result in increased temperatures. He subsequently did turn off the system, but a little time later it was restarted. When food arrived I swapped places with the most impacted member of our party, and noted immediately how cold and uncomfortable it was. In addition, the high rate of cold air cooled my meal within minutes, resulting in the majority of the serve being consumed cold. We were most disappointed in this experience, and even more so that the table which we requested to be moved to, and were informed was otherwise booked, had not been used by the time we departed. Overall, as local Ballarat people who have visited the Yacht Club numerous times, we were very disappointed with the "take it or leave it" attitude of the manager, and as such will not use the facility again. In addition we will not recommend this venue to others, and will actively advise them against its use. It is a real pity, as the remainder of the floor staff were most helpful and pleasant, and the food was fine. The manager however, does not present a good impression of the restaurant.

Great setting - on a nice day you can sit by the water and it feels like you're on the coast! Good breakfasts, coffee and cake selection. Also kid friendly with high chairs and space to move
