We did not enjoy our date night here. We came here after our initial reservation at another venue got cancelled on short notice and after being turned away at another 3 places this was our last option before calling it quits and getting fast food. We arrived around 7.30pm, I called before we arrived to make sure the kitchen was still open which it was until 8.30pm thankfully. Upon arrival we waited around for a good 5 minutes before an employee emerged. The place only had 2 tables occupied. I must say the lady that assisted us was very nice throughout our whole stay, she was probably the best part about our visit. We ordered 2 medium rare steaks one with mash and gravy and one with garlic prawns and chips , cheeseburger springrolls and a beer for $115. The springrolls were super delicious and arrived soonishafter ordering. To be honest we waited longer than expected for our main course considering at this point there was only one other person in the dining hall. I think we waited around 25 mins. Finally the food came but there quickly was another issue. Both mine and my partners steak was literally raw. Not even rare, nowhere near medium rare just plain raw in the middle with only a sear on the outside. We could not eat it at all. We always order our steaks medium rare but this was the most undercooked we had ever received, my partners steak was also cold in the middle. We asked the lady if the kitchen could cook it a bit more and she took our meals away. When she came back the kitchen had actually also refilled our mash/chips and our sauces in addition to cooking it more. We really appreciated that a lot and were grateful for that. The steak now was much better and we dug in as we were starving at this point. My Gravy was delicious but I think the portion of mash was tiny, it was like half the size of the amount of chips that my partner had. Steak wasnt bad but tasted mostly like charcoal. By the time we actually ate it was 8.30pm already. We intended to get desert after but kitchen was already closed by now obviously. While eating I actually noticed pieces of PLASTIC in my mouth that was in the mash. I thought no way, maybe it was a potato skin but no it was an actual piece of plastic, I thoroughly inspected it. After we finished we ended up taking our empty plates up to the bar and I wanted to point out the plastic that I found, but the 2 employees were too involved in a conversation with each other and did not notice us standing there so we just left. Our night was honestly ruined. We haven't had a date night in a long time and in the end we thoroughly regretted coming here and wasting over $100. We even got some maccas on the way home because we were still left hungry after our Highway experience. We will not return.
The food we had was delicious my husband and son had a Parma each and I had the salmon, the only thing that let it down was the coleslaw that looked like it was at least 3 days old. So unappetizing couldn't even try it it looked awful.
Veal scaloponi was inedible. Was not cooked properly friend and I ordered the same meal and couldn't eat the meat Mash / veggies and mushroom sauce was the only thing we where able to eat . Disappointed for the price we paid Food: 2/5
AVOID THIS VENUE FOR YOUR NEXT FUNCTION! Disgraceful service and not enough food for guests. The Assistant Venue Manager who assisted in arranging the booking was nowhere to be found on the day despite saying she would be when I finalised payment. Was reassured on several occasions prior to the event that there would be more than enough food to go around. No sit down meal was offered, nor were we allowed to bring traditional cultural food as additional options. We were only given 6 x finger food options per person. I wasn’t told that essentially meant 6 pieces of small fried offerings per person. How is that more than enough food? That’s basically an entree for most people! And the single waiter we had didn’t even go around evenly to all the guests in the room. When I complained to the duty manager that we hadn’t received all the food who was rude and unhelpful anyway the waiter admitted he dropped an entire option of prawn twisters on one table so 90% of the guests didn’t even get a piece. Absolutely disgraceful service. If you want to book a venue for your next function, book anywhere but this place.
Meals were okay. Parma was huge chips were nice but coleslaw salad was very average. Lemon Calamari was also good portions but bit to lemony. Chips and salad were nice. The garlic cheese pizza for entree was very good We went for Friday dinner service was friendly and quick.Food: 4/5
Been happily coming here for years but will never return. Went to order 5 meals to be told they had no chicken schnitzel so we changed to parmas. Then told they had no chicken. We decided to leave and go somewhere else. We were then told they had misunderstood and they do have chicken. Ordered meals with chips and veg instead of chips and salad which we have always done here and every other pub we've been to with no issue. This time they were going to charge 1.50 extra per person to swap salad for veg and this on top on their already expensive prices. The playroom was also a huge disappointment. The climbing equipment was still there but the interactive TV and all toys have been taken out and replaced with arcade games that you have to pay for so gambling for kids. Walked in on a Thursday night at 6.30 to find only one family there which should have rung alarm bells from the start.We left and went to another close by pub in Springvale and had a great meal with salad swapped for veggies at no extra cost and each meal was cheaper than Highways and with a great playground.
Went in for lunch. It was 12.25. The gates to the dining area were closed. A few staff members were standing around chatting and when I asked for a table was promptly told the Bistro was closed for lunch ! A Bistro that closes so staff can have lunch ? Never again. Emailed management at the time still awaiting reply. This was 3 months ago.
Good place for the kids to run around. The food is not too bad. The Parma was nice but chicken a bit tough and breading on the bottom was completely missing. Very amateur. Chips are delicious and crispy however.
Definitely worth the trip down from Gippsland. Parmigiana was massive, really tender Chicken & super tasty, the wife had a burger, she said it was bloody beautiful. Great Atmosphere, I've been to the Sandown before & never knew this place existed right across the road. Very spacious & the kids are having a ball in the Games Room.
A quick business meeting / lunch on a Friday. The place was surprisingly quiet considering the $20 lunch option however it is out of the way from many businesses. The food was ok and the service was friendly. If you are after a quick bite of lunch and a smiley face to serve you - pop in when travelling down the Princess Hwy.
