Irymple Hotel — Restaurant in Victoria

HORRIBLE experience.

I paid over 60 dollars to pretty much be forced to eat something that made me feel sick, and tasted and looked nothing like it was described on the menu.

When I explained my experience to the manager (James), he told me that I have no choice other than to order another meal for another 30 dollars or stay hungry or eat what I was given.

We drove half an hour to eat there, and I was either made to remain hungry or pay another fortune for another meal. I was literally left in tears, and it ruined my experience with my friends.

The meal was nothing like it was described on the menu, and when I told them this, they said that I was supposed to know what all the 'fancy' names on the menu mean (despite no waiter coming to your table and actually explaining what any of the descriptions mean, and no customer service, other than to just go and order ourselves).

I also ordered an orange juice that tasted really bad. Later on that evening, we all felt unwell after our meals. My partner's meal was also very salty, and a tiny portion. We were all left hungry and disappointed, and had to find another cafe afterwards to eat properly. For such a high price, we were left hungry and upset and had a disappointing day.

Overall, I'm very DISAPPOINTED, regret coming here, and would NOT be coming back, or recommending the...

Absolutely outstanding! Located on the outskirts of Mildura we had driven past this place then circled back as it looked so inviting from the outside. From the get go the staff were really friendly and said we could sit anywhere we wanted. They had water ‘misters’ set up for the outside tables but as it was so hot we opted for indoors. We ordered the Italian Meatballs, the Asian (prawn) Dumplings and the Fish and Chips (grilled) to share and it arrived quickly. The dumplings were really tasty (paired with an amazing sauce) and the meatballs were outstanding (even though we weren’t big fans of the Parmesan crisp that came with them). Additionally, the fish was cooked perfectly and the chips were delicious, which is always a good sign. As all the food so far had been so good we decided on dessert (which is rare for us) and we were blown away when our Banana Fritter arrived! It was hands down the best we have ever had and with such a detailed presentation that made it also visually impressive. The atmosphere here is fantastic with great music set at the perfect level. Also the seating was abundant, yet spaced out. This place ticked so many boxes for us. We left so content with full bellies and talks of when we can get back to Mildura to visit The...

A very mixed bag at this venue. We sat outdoors on a beautiful evening. The tables and chairs were bare metal, and dusty. Our party of five ordered a garlic bread starter to share, and our mains. An hour later, we hadn't even received the garlic bread. We asked five times before the bread was brought to our table. All the while we were watching meals being delivered to parties that had ordered well after us. We were so hungry, the garlic bread didn't last long, then commenced he wait for our mains. We must have enquired five or six times of the staff before I went and asked to speak to the manager. He couldn't have cared less. An hour and a half after we ordered and paid, our meals were delivered to our table. And we had a child in our party. There was no cutlery on the table, neither was any delivered with the food. No one instructed us as to what we were supposed to do. One of our party went in search, to learn you had to get your own cutlery from a service point, where there was none left, so she had to wait - again. The meals were good, but the whole experience was tarnished by the appalling service. Having been made aware, I expected the manager might come and speak to us, but there was no sign of...
