The Lomond Hotel — Restaurant in Melbourne

After someone showed me this place, that had a piano, i used to visit to play the piano sometimes, and trying to support them by buying some small meal or juice or whatever, so that it wouldn't be rude to have visited. i tried to overlook the idols and the those who did recordings without asking, that i disliked.

After some time i stopped visiting, but later returned and asked to play the piano (i asked first, to avoid being rude), a worker gave me hope to perform on Thursdays, and a number to call the owner about it.

So i called the owner of this place, and we talked. They gave me hope that i could, and that i would be contacted later.

Many months passed. They seemingly ignored me after that call.

Many are often giving a false hope and false promises, and when i was given much false hope and false promises and other false words, i lost my hope in my life, and often i was crying because people were unkind to me when i hoped and tried to love them truly they abandoned me, and i became very isolated. And since i was about 10 years old i hoped to be Married, but now am almost 40 years old and haven't even been in a relationship. And since the days when i hoped to be married, i cried a lot and stopped trusting others.

And though i learned to pretend to trust others, it's a defense mechanism, cause if a person presents as untrustworthy they are forced into a cage and drugged until they cannot compose music anymore and until they pretend to be not themselves, but to be the sort of person they perceive the medical staff to want them to be, because otherwise they are not allowed to go outside of the cage. And though i was very compliant after a unfair accusation against me in year 2012 AD, others hurt me both physically and emotionally (via syringes and manipulative evil words and even death threat in the hospital). i might have even gone as far to say i don't like Australia, the place of my birth. And though it may seem like little, it is very easy to break someone's heart, especially if they tolerated so much negligence and falsehood and were hurt in their childhood and tried to be kind so that others wouldn't feel hurt as well.

i feel reluctant to try to do piano anymore, and struggle with motivation. Recently, Mum shouted at me because i was singing and playing piano. That i must be quiet because the neighbors could call the police and they could have me drugged in a mental hospital, again. It seems i am to be silent and sit still, and that singing even happy songs to try to cheer myself and others up, was forbidden. And i might have moved out, but i was forbidden from employment, and cannot afford to, and people didn't teach me how to live without relying on money and idols.

Though i may not have been as good as some of your other portrayers and performers of songs, i was willing to for free and without expectation. The next time a person like me visits, it's better to say things like "i don't like you and you are not worthy or welcome to play on the piano here for free", and to tell them to go away, because at least it wouldn't have been false.

Some among those who i became very in love with also gave false hope, and i didn't know whether to wait for them or not, so i waited like a dog before i started to cry. And after a few "friends" suggested to go to a brothel, i eventually did, thinking that it may help me to not be sad anymore, but i lost my dignity and even though i went to confession i often didn't want to be alive anymore, because i had wanted a wedding, and happiness, not to be false to my family, but eventually became very sad, disliking myself for ever obeying advice of false friends, who misled me. Some even tried to use recording from the brothel that they promoted, to use against me, whilst promoting unhealthy family against nature, seemingly because they were afraid of me, defending idle politicians, and because the hospital people weren't friends at all, but evil people who drugged others, pretending to be friends. They didn't like me to be genuinely happy, their paid smiles were...

Ate at the Lomond tonight and we were very disappointed. The food took at least 45 minutes to arrive with other parties, who arrived well after we did, getting their food before us. When it did arrive the portions were small and luke warm while the accompanying chips were piping hot. We figured that our food had sat in the kitchen while the chips were cooked. Didn't bother sending the food back as we didn't want to wait any longer. The food was just about OK but not what you'd hope for. The service was all over the place, at one point we were asked what we'd ordered and then later on asked if we'd ordered at all! When it came to pay the bill I was again asked what we'd ordered and where we'd sat (despite the fact that it was the same person who had served us). Most of the diners seemed to be enjoying their food, hearty warm serves delivered in good time, so maybe we just had bad luck. Either way we won't be back and will not recommend. Unless you want to wait a long time for a small luke warm meal. The first time in many years that I've walked out of a pub hungry and deeply...

The Lomond Hotel is a true country pub in Melbourne city, run by the same family for 25 years. If you like a great high quality country style pub meal this is the place for you. The Lomond has a second menu for their restaurant also for a wonderful fine dining experience with matching wines recommended on the menu. The head chef's are the owners so your sure to recieve meals of high standards. The bar is managed by James (also an owner) and his three sons and mulitple other friendly bar staff, the staff do make an effort to have a chat and remember your name. Live music five times a week, and we are talking about a true Irish session on Tuesday night, Americana old timey music on Sat arvo till 8.30 pm, and a mix of country, soul, cabaret, R&B, rock plus more styles (check out the Lomond website for gig guide with styles listed). What can I say, I love this pub, it is a trully friendly local with the best Guinness on tap (there are heaps of regulars that drink it so you are sure do recieve the perfect pint every time), also on tap are standard Aussie beers as well as micro brewery...
