Riverina Hotel — Restaurant in Hay

Only Dinner in Town? Very full, below average. We ordered a grilled Barramundi that was chewy and harder than expected. At some stage, we thought it was rather a Bassa fillet. Maybe it was not freshly grilled. Dissapointing. The second dish ordered was a flathead with chips. It was less fish than batter, but ok. The grilled pork chops were very chewy.
