This venue got 2022 Regional Hotel of the Year. The service was prompt for 8.15 at night on a saturday night, seated us and ordering is done at the countr. bar is seperate but near by the meals. The bar staff were so lovely and talkative and polite and not only quick but made lovely cocktails and offered to help carry them to the table or bring out seconds at a different time though i chose to just take them. The food portions were excellent, had the special parma which was a cheeseburger parma x2 for the table and a fettuccine carbonara. The cheezeburger parmas were not on the skimpy side and literally tasted like a cheeseburger minus the bread. There was smashed beef patty, pickles, cheeseburger sauce on top of a parma covered with cheese. Of all the alternative parmas ive ever had (which is alot i generally try parmas everywhere i go) this ranks highly if not the best. The fettuccine was creamy and a great helping. Also was amazed by and loved the free salad bar which had 4 kinds of salads to help yourself to, catering to all kinds of people. We chose to share a plate of each just to give it all a go and no faults to be reported by any of us. We ordered aperol spritz & fruit tingle cocktails; the fruit tingle was one of the best ive ever had even me myself as a bar tender i havent made myself one so good was dead on for taste of a fruit tingle. The aperol spritz was made great just none of us fancied th taste of prosecco and it overpowers the drink because we dont enjoy it but it got better with each sip was bubbly refreshing otherwise. Highly reccomend eating here and will...

The food while reasonably well presented it is bland to say the least. A note to the management, there are a lot of eating venues in Traralgon that are all vying for a substantial piece of an ever shrinking pie that are providing better food and service at similar prices
Edit: how come the management only seems publicly respond to positive comments, after reading some comments on here that definitely deserve some response and appear to be ignored because of the negative remarks makes me think that the management aren't concerned about continual improvement of their business and have become complacent and taking the easiest path as said previously there's a lot of eating venues in the area that have at least as good but usually better meals at...

The hotel features a popular bistro known for hearty pub fare. The Thusday special porterhouse steak was ok but very greasy and not what we'd expected from a regional pub.
