AUSTRAL HOTEL REVIEWS
Meat was really great, asked for blue and got the steaks cooked to perfection and at temperature. Only thing is we had to wait a few minutes for the chicken schnitzel after the steaks were brought to the table, and very little to none veggie options.
Stumbled across this beautiful hotel. Stopped for a drink. Just happened to be happy hour. Even better!! Roxy greeted us like long lost friends. We enjoyed her company and the vibe so much we stayed for a beautiful dinner. We enjoyed our visit so much we fronted up the next day at Happy Hour . Lucky enough we were served by the happy Friendly Roxy.
Family & I went to dinner tonight. We have eaten here around a dozen times before. But tonight we had the most delicious meal. Steaks were cooked to perfection, tender, heaps of flavour! Salad was fresh.Quick service. Tracy was an absolute pleasure to deal with! She deserves the 5 stars.

RARE BAR AND GRILL REVIEWS
Spent anniversary there and I must say it was really nice. Great food and service. Finally a place where you get a lot of sauce, not just a tiny bit of something. We had wagyu and my partner crumbed ribs. Both of us were satisfied as the meals were tasty and very filling. Atmosphere was also nice as we spent three hours there. The courses are coming with a big gap apart but you actually need it to make some space in your stomach. Overall I would recommend the restaurant. Thank yo I for having us.
The food was very good but the service was terrible. The server could not answer basic questions about sauces or drinks. Drinks took forever! The experience was overshadowed by the poor service. For the prices they charge, the staff should AT LEAST be capable of answering questions about the menu. Also, the brightest lights possible were shining on the tables, which made it feel more like a diner than a high-quality restaurant.
Absolutely brilliant place to have dinner staff treat you with respect. Service with a smile just the way it's meant to be.
