Although we were expecting a Hotel Motel the service at the bar was more like a small country town (very cold) at $160 per night a little more effort could be made to make one feel welcome. We enjoyed our stay and the room had noting that could be faulted (very clean and as per description when booking) As we ate in the restaraunt I am obligated to voice my opinion although it is not good. 1.I have to comment on the service (well done to the girls on meet and greet and table service) As for the meal it self, It was not cooked in the manner asked, We asked for the Scotch fillet steak to be cooked Med/Rare and it was on the lower scale of Rare , so much i belived there was a splashing of blue through mine, It makes the steak hard to eat when the fillet it self contains steaks of sinue.(poor selection of meat). 2.We asked for vegtables, as we booked in a hotel/motel we expected at least some home style mash or a real vegtable. 10 snow peas and three beans with a piece of broccolli and a piece of cauliflower to me, does not constitue vegtables.
Over all experience was totally lost on a piece of under cooked meat on a plate accompanied by a sad effort by someone trained to do better.
Being in the hospitality industry i would be embarresed on...
Read moreWe went for tea as a table of 4, the service was great, and the girls polite and friendly, the restaurant only had three tables of customers so fairly quiet for a Tuesday night, also terrific hot cheese bread, but when our meals came out i ordered roast of the day ( pork ) 2 pieces of meat 2 grilled cherry tomatoes 2 carrots and some broccoli and 3 roast potatoes, with a dash of gravy the meal came out cold which we sent back, then they served soup and a main meal at the same time ??? to my friend which he asked could they take it back and keep it warm i find this most unprofessional for table service if it was requested thats different, my hubby had the pork sausages ( 2 ) with mash potatoes and peas for $24.00...seriously $24.00 for 2 sausages and mash potatoes and peas ????? then we ordered 2 more drinks and after waiting a good 5 minutes we went up to the bar to as ask about our drinks to which the reply was oh sorry the other girl must have forgot ?? i would hate to see what would happen if it was busier than 3 tables of customers...all in all very disappointing overpriced menu with very little food on the plate...we...
Read moreCame to Echuca for work. After a long, hot & humid day arrived at The Cal around 5pm. Thirsty as hell, so bags in hand rocked straight to the bar. Great staff. Sorted our room with no problems. Four "lemonades" later headed down fown for a shower before dinner. Woah! Was not expecting that. Bloody nice room. Recently fully renovated and very tastefully done. Surprised to see George Clooney had supplied a coffee machine 🙌. Shower was great, bed was super comfy. Food was excellent- Bruchetta ✔ Steak, chips, veg & music sauce ✔ Parmi, chips, salad & gravy ✔ and dessert... profiteroles with strawberries & icecream ✔ Again, couldn't fault the staff ✔✔ This morning, found out there's no "sit down" breaky but... there is drive-through breaky! Coffee, ice coffee, egg & bacon roll/toasted sandwich add hash browns and we're on the 3hr trip home. Thanks guys. Keep up the...
