Summer House — Restaurant in Sydney

Arrived at the RSL and was greeted by the door man, was escorted to the restaurant. Venue was beautiful with friendly staff. Water was always filled. Very expensive for poor pub styled food. Gravy was NOT GRAVY. I don't know what it was but it was all wrong, on all three dishes!!!! I had the brisket pot pie and it was very bland. We had ordered t-bone steaks one cooked medium rare as ordered and other was med well and was undercooked. Having a denture plate it was hard to chew at $35 a steak you think it would be cooked as asked. Kids spaghetti for my 1 year old was cooked with wine which she did not eat, a waste of $18 . Upon arrival i had confirmed booking twice after speaking to the manager, once seated wait staff proceeded to ask us to stand from our table so they could take 1 table away plus our extra seat, so they could fit more people into the restaurant. We booked a week in advance for 12 and they took from us to cater for a walk in so my baby had to sit on the corner of the table and wasn't able to feed herself her meal that we had paid $20 for. Very expensive kids meals. Beautiful venue, beautiful staff but unfortunately won't be back at over $400 for a poor family dinner they fell short in more places than 1. Our local pub serves better meals for half the price and...

Perhaps management can speak to the staff about it, as it does take away from the relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant, and could possibly cause some restaurant goers...

A mixed bag! Came on a public holiday so maybe the experience would be different if it wasn't

Service in Fairfield rsl is almost like a high class restaurant though food took a little longer than expected

The ambience is better then expected with nice decor and bring in a rsl you usually wouldn't expect this standard

Food wise a mixed experience The swordfish entree was very nice and tasty My chicken tarragon was good also,you see the butter melt on the chicken I was impressed Another had the veal and they liked it The pies were the let down Beef pie was not satisfying and tasted strange,same with the fish pie

Prices are a little more than expected but despite this it was still a...
