Royal Motor Yacht Club Port Hacking — Restaurant in Sydney

Went to the motorboat club for the first time in years today. I have to say the atmosphere was cracking and the location can't be beat. Things were going great until I decided to order dinner.

Perusing the menu there were some great options. Feeling the need to treat myself I decided to order the lamb shank curry for $40, one of the most expensive items.

When the food buzzer rang I was excited, I walked up to the kitchen to collect the curry. On arrival I immediately thought there must be a mistake. It looked like something from the snack menu, the lamb shank curry was small, basic and overall uninspired. I pleaded with the kitchen staff, why had they delivered me a snack menu curry when I clearly ordered a main. To my shock the kitchen staff informed me that the meal before me was the main menu lamb shank Curry valued at $40. To say I was rattled is an understatement.

When I returned to the table my friends broke into pitiful laughter at the thought I had paid $40 for such an insignificant meal. I consumed the Curry in approximately 14 seconds. Fortunately I was at the club with a strong group of friends who prevented me starving to death by pitying me with slices of their substantial pizzas. I was desperately grateful.

I left club with my good day in tatters. The club needs to really think about deceiving customers with such an expensive yet...

We called ahead to double check how busy they were and got told quite abruptly that they were booked out. Considering we used to love their chicken snitty and that we only live 2 mins away we thought there's no harm in just stopping in and trying to find a table. We waited for 5 mins at the welcome counter but no one came to check us in so we did it ourselves on the ridiculous computer. Nevertheless we walk in and my estimate is they were only around 40% full which made no sense considering we were told 15 mins earlier over the phone that they were booked out. We go and order 2x chicken snittys straight away as that's the only reason we came. It used to be $28 for a schnitzel that filled over half the plate. The dish that was served to be resembled something you would find in a shelter. The slice of burnt schnitzel was 3/4 the size of an average persons hand. As the young girl placed the plates on the table I was stunned for a few seconds thinking she had brought the wrong order to us. I am truly upset with our meal tonight and I've always considered the Royal as one of the last remaining places that made a proper, plate smothering, pub style chicken snitty. My positive is the staff were lovely despite the fact there wasn't any of the front counter. We won't be back and I will no longer be...

The word Royal in the name of this place holds as much weight as Prince Andrew . If the queen was still live, and she went to this place for dined and witnessed the lack of care she would’ve probably hoped she died earlier. I was there on the 27th /12/22 .. Obviously, someone flipped a coin to pick the person that was in charge and heads fell in favour of some young hipster with a moustache and a bad attitude that lead his team with a who cares attitude that he probably text to them, because he’s a millennial . I don’t care if there was a lack of staff. There was about 10 tables that were covered in the filth that had been left there by the last customer and I ran a stop watch and it was somewhere between 30 minutes and one hour until it was clean . food orders were coming out, cold and wrong all across the restaurant as we “ the customers “ all gave one another a confused, unfulfilled looks .

Here’s the hot tip -lose the word Royal and just call it a pub or a Tavern, where the view will always make up for everything else you...
