Trappers Modern French-Australian Restaurant Batemans Bay — Restaurant in Batemans Bay

Update： Firstly, your staff promptly replaced our table, but the waitress had an impatient expression. Secondly, I do not think my kid 'ran' in your restaurant! And I am sorry she walked in your restaurant. I don't know that your restaurant only wants kids to be stuck on the chair even if the restaurant is empty. And I admit my child did touch the salt shaker on another table, and we did apologize for what my kid did immediately. We successfully prevented her from touching anything on another table. It's not fair to accuse me of neglecting my child. We even resorted to letting her watch videos on our phone to keep her seated quietly. This is how I supervise my child. What I saw was your intolerance and discrimination against a 4 years old kid. Furthermore, it wasn't my child who poured ketchup into the ‘candle’. When we left, we ensured the table was tidy. Accusing my child like this is outrageous. If you accuse my child of doing things that she did not do, please provide evidence! If you could prove it by showing me footage of my kid pouring ketchup into the candle, I am willing to compensate you $100! Otherwise, I need you to apologize to my kid! Finally, we only realized it was getting late after the dessert was served. If we had stayed to finish it, it would have taken another half an hour, so we kindly suggested taking the dessert home to allow your staff to leave earlier. However, we were met with disdainful looks. Your restaurant is the most shameless and ungrateful one I've ever been to in my life. None of this justifies your staff rolling their eyes at guests! Btw， I have not seen even one smile on the waitress's face ever since we walked into your restaurant. All I felt was indifferent. I wonder if she acts like this toward any guest or if she is just discriminating against us because of our race?

*The waitress with white hair has a very bad attitude. When my child accidentally spilled a drink, she was very impatient in helping to clean it up. Later, since we were the last customers and didn't want to delay their closing time, we asked for help in packing desserts to take home so they could leave earlier. However, this waitress rolled her eyes at us and impatiently packed the desserts. The service attitude was very, very bad!! Spending money to eat out doesn't mean we have to tolerate bad behavior!! There was a young waiter though, whose attitude was good. Also, the steak we ordered for the child as 'well done' wasn't well done at all! I won’t recommend this restaurant to any friend because of the...

First would like to say thank you for a amazing tasty dinner, me and my wife enjoyed it.

Walking in we was greeted by nice kind waitress made me feel so welcome. Being far from home we was treated with nice respect.

For entree, I had the octopus - Very nice cooked well it’s not easy to perfect octopus and can be easily over cooked in this case it was cooked perfectly melted in mouth fresh taste the candy walnuts was nice with the basil the pickled red onion every Element put together on a fork is just mouth watering and very tasty.

The wife had calamari rings- Her comments “very nice” i had a try I can say cooked as well to perfection taste fresh simple but executed well.

Main

Come on they had the 550g rib eye a bloke like me can’t turn this steak down. I ordered it and it came looking like someone has delivered a golden nugget on my plate. Asked for medium have gotten medium with perfection.

Now for the taste listen to me very carefully I’m known to reviewing steaks from the highest places in Sydney I’m going to drop it here and say hands down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had this is inline with I’m Angus Sydney darling harbour. And that place is only known for steaks.

It tasted soft juicy had flavour you know a good steak thru the taste of flavour. Most places forget a big cut like this needs to be taken care of in terms of perfect seasoning. Tappers smashed it the sides mash potatoes and a nice sauce that just brings it straight to the heart with flavour. Honestly chef pat on the back well done.

The wife - Ordered lamb back strap , of course I had to try it very nice soft lamb cooked medium with a tasty crumb on the outside mixed with the yogurt sauce and beetroot relish well presented and tasty all together.

Deserts -

I had the crumble quince very nice sweet tasty perfect not much to say I’m more of a main and entree person. But if you are a sweet lover this will be nice for you.

Wife had - banoffee stack lite sweet not to sweet I liked it more then the quince cause I’m not a sweet palette person very nice.

Overall 5 star hands down read most if not all the reviews and I can say I don’t give 5 stars often but Trappers steak & seafood have gotten it I enjoyed the dinner everyone was well respected. Reasonable prices.

Very nice...

Good but room for improvement.

Based in an old motel, Trappers welcomes you into a warm light space, dotted with wood, black metal and surrounded by crisp white walls. You can eat indoors or outside, both spaces are well designed but the music was a little too quiet outside.

Staff were a little stiff at first but warned up quickly, they were attentive, friendly, and efficient.

You can choose from a 2 course meal for $60 per person or $80 per person for 3 course. You select from a group of meals for entree, mains and desserts.

We had 2 cocktails which were $22 each, these were very nice. All the food came out quickly. We had the spring rolls and scallops for entree, both were excellent with some nice texture added to the parsnip mash for the scallops which were perfectly cooked. The 3 spring rolls were spicy with a sweet sauce on the side and balanced with a little salad.

For mains we had the mixed seafood platter which was fairly plain and disappointing, it included octopus, prawns, mussels and scallops all well cooked. The prawns could've been chargrilled to add some different flavours, it came with a very similar side like the entree but was just a bit bland.

We also had the lamb tenderloin which was crumbed, with some potatoes, beans and a beetroot sauce and a side sauce of yogurt and possibly mint. The tenderloin was well cooked and tender but again the flavours were muted besides the beetroot sauce which was overly strong.

Lastly we had a custard tart with mango and icecream, the mango was lovely and fresh but the pastry seemed undercooked and the custard was bland. The apple tart was also disappointing having a bitterness to the apple which needed the icecream to balance.

Overall reasonable prices, good staff, quick delivery of the food and a nice atmosphere. It was only some of the dishes that...
