Kalkallo Hotel

By far one of the best, if not the best pub steaks I've ever had. 450g rib eye, 500g T bone or 700g tomahawk. Cooked perfectly. Other pubs around Australia should look towards Kalkallo Hotel as they know how to put on a feed.

Paid over $100 for two steaks and a couple of beers. Ordered medium rare, but they both came back well done to death! Needless to say, we won't be going there again.

Ordered the beef ribs and got a meal of fat. About 10% of the ribs were edible. We told the staff and asked them to tell the chef. He said they are fatty, we found that out and a lot of people like to eat the fat. There was no offer of a different meal or any sort of refund. At nearly $50 I would have expected more from them. The other meals were ok. Very expensive meals and drinks. Won’t be going back.

The reviews on this place are hilarious, only wish we read them all before we dined here on Saturday night. The place was empty at 7.30 on a Saturday night which should have been a massive red flag but we are locals so we went ahead anyway. Much like Kevin’s review, we found the food to be underwhelming, overpriced and somewhat disgusting. The marinara was barely edible- pasta over cooked, ingredients stale and fish tasted like they had been floated in bleach to freshen them up. My partner had the Chicken with some sort of white sauce and a cooked avocado which was a strange experience. The thing that ruined it for her was the worst tasting orange juice of all time. Seriously at $95 for a pub meal and a few drinks the food was outrageously priced for the poor quality. We spent less going out for Japanese food in St kilda the following day and realised what a rip off last nights meal was. I’d suggest firing the chef and starting from scratch with the menu - no reason this hotel shouldn’t be pumping every night given its one of only two pubs within the 5km radius. Heading back to Donnybrook Hotel next time. Sorry guys you can do better!

I ordered a small margarita pizza, first slice while chewing I felt something poke me and found a STAPLE in my pizza. Called up and they said they have no idea how it got there. Eat at your own risk. They offered a refund but want me to pick it up! HA!

Enjoyed the most delicious, succulent piece of salt water Barramundi with a macadamia and pesto encrusted coating for lunch! Service was lovely, friendly and extremely prompt! Awesome work Kalkallo Hotel and thank you!!

Atmosphere was great, dinner was amazing would've liked a drinks menu some of the desserts we're really nice others not so much . Service was really good ladies there are so lovely

In a word… underwhelming. Service was ordinary and the staff seemed very inexperienced with minimal knowledge of food or drinks. The so called rib eye “filet” served on the bone was more like a tomahawk than a filet and, given the quality of the meat, it was way overpriced at just under $53. The fact that it was also over cooked didn’t help nor did the fried frozen chips and tiny pile of bland salad served with it. They’re kidding themselves by calling their bistro a steakhouse if this was typical of the steaks they serve. Can’t see myself ever going back.

This restaurants service is disgusting. We were regular customers here until recently, the last two times we have been here have ended in a nightmare. The first time I asked for a well done steak, the steak came out rare, so they took it back to cook it more and it came back only a little more cooked still pink all the way through, I didn't want to complain so I left it and let them know anyway. The next time I came I asked politely if they could not make the same mistake as last time and make sure the steak is cooked and VERY well done, the steak came out pink AGAIN despite me asking for it to be well done, I left it again and still paid $50. On the same night my husband asked for JD sauce and they've put wine sauce on the steak mind you this steak costs $70 he doesn't like wine and refused to eat the steak as it had wine sauce on it so we sent it back and proceeded to pay and leave, they then expected us to pay the 70 for the steak that was not eaten as it came out wrong. The female manager threw the eftpos machine at me and demanded I pay for everything including the steak that was 70 that wasn't eaten, then the owner came out and started abusing me saying ive eaten the whole steak which her own employee corrected her letting her know it hasn't been touched. I am now a regular at the Donnybrook pub which I advise you go instead of this disgusting place!!! Worst service I've ever been too
