Hotel Bay View — Restaurant in Whyalla

Really nice, modern venue, well priced tasty meals, nothing fancy just basic pub grub. Pity that one of the staff members, Nicole, obviously hates her job. Slapped the change down like she was killing a roach, not even a glimmer of a smile. Her whole demeanor made us feel unwelcome and like we were interrupting her day.

Literally the worst experience ever . They made us wait an hour for just fish and chips . We made our order at 3:10 and got our food at 4:15 .

Just wanna let people know, since I've seen a lot of bad reviews on the food. The bayview has no chefs, the person who served you also had some impact on your food.

Not making excuses, the food is hit or miss but give the poor barstaff making your food a break. Some of them have little to no cooking experience aswell and being supplied frozen gross stuff...
