Central Hotel Shellharbour — Restaurant in New South Wales

The bar in the lower part of the club was probably the best part of the night.

A few mates and I were down in the pub area playing some pool and having a decent time deciding on where we should have dinner.

It was a toss up between Dapto leagues club, and staying where we were which turned out to be a horrible choice.

All the tables in the bistro were sticky, so sticky you could probably climb the side of a building using a table with a pathetic excuse as to why they are so sticky.

The food, to put it politely I suggest you hire chefs who can cook, who can identify food properly, and who have decent time management skills.

When someone orders 'vegetables' with their dinner they are going to assume they are going to get vegetables not just half a plate of beans. You might as well just list 'beans' rather than have people assume they will get regular vegetables that most would plate up at home.

The chicken parmigiana, was just a piece of schnitzel with a piece of soccer ball ham and cheese slapped on top with a bit of tomato sauce. If that's what you call a decent meal, heck I will be opening my own restaurant shortly.

The chips were cold, felt like they had been taken out of the fridge and briefly zapped in the microwave.

The salad, was absolutely drowned in dressing so badly that even Bondi Rescue couldn't save it. Soggy, and unappetizing to those who had it on their plate.

We had 2 people get their meals a good 20 minutes after the first 2 meals had already arrived. We all ordered at the same time, we didn't order 20 minutes apart so this part made absolutely no sense besides poor time management for a restaurant that had about 10 people sitting down at the time we were eating.

Don't take this as negative feedback, but rather constructive criticism which should be taken seriously rather than ignored as most places will tend to do so.

I came here once for my partner's birthday, and I had a very mixed experience.

On one hand my schnitzel was cooked really well and the crumb was great, which I'd recommend, the salt and pepper squid was also good. And staff were quite friendly with my partner's birthday and dealing with the cake we brought (getting us plates and cutlery etc). Oh, and the churros were delightful!

On the other hand someone else at my table really disliked their meal when it was a dish they'd typically enjoy. Additionally our drinks got messed up and we had to ask a couple of times to get it fixed and they didn't have some of the usual cocktails I could even get at a local pub.

So I guess if you want friendly staff and good chicken schnitzel, it's the bees knees. But if you want a relaxing night out where everyone will have a good time and the drinks are good, I'd recommend you go...

Today myself and 2 friends had lunch at central hotel , my Baked salmon was great albeit being over cooked but my Asian slaw was so bad/old that the cabbage was brown and tomatoes slimy.z my friend had the Seafood Laska that was not a Soup ??? It was bowl of old pasta that was precooked and preheated again which cased it to go like rubber and the laska was a thick concoction of slop that was disgusting.. we ask for the manager who said “there is nothing wrong with the food , so I will NOT reimburse or let you choose another meal “ I ask her to smell it and taste it and she declined saying “ I don’t eat seafood “ she was totally rude and dismissive of our concerns !! She would NOT let us talk to the chef saying “they are too busy in the lunch hours “ will hit go back as this is not the first time we have had major concerns about freshness of...
