It was a cold night and it stayed cold indoors, my feet are cold as I write this. The service was super slow and seemingly disorganized. We had to keep attracting the attention of the staff who seemed to forget to follow up everything. We asked for Shiraz, perhaps a wine list. She came back in a few minutes, 'was that two glasses of Shiraz?'. We said we'd like the wine list. It arrived but then 10 -15 minutes passed and we finally flagged her down. It was 40 minutes after we arrived that we got the wine. We watched it sit on the bar for 5 minutes. Just waiting. Because we waited so long we could enjoy the decor. It is utterly tasteless and nastily cheap. Really, the food was pretty good, but everything else suggests going somewhere else.

YES. Yes it is worth the 3 hour drive from Melbourne to go to this place…read more Two things affect how a steak tastes: the quality of the steak, and the way it is cooked. Here, the good quality steak is cooked on a hot rock. They sear the edges, and serve to you to let you cook it as long or as short as you want (unless you asked them to cook it for you). The taste is amazing, like no other steak I've had. This cooking process really seals in the flavours like no other steak I've had (yes I've had 9+ Wagyu with a 3 digit price tag in Crown Melbourne. Also great service. Had a (two) really amazing glasses of red wine. Wasn't sure which of their two ports to have with desert, so the owner poured me generous amounts of both so I could decide, and we talked for about 20 minutes about the world of wine.

The stand out dishes on our table would have easily been the bao buns (served DIY style with the buns, crispy pork, bean shoots and coriander deconstructed for you to mix as you please, along with hoisin sauce), the vegetable spring rolls (quite large, served with greens to add on top to your liking) and sand mullet (served whole to your table to carve - be careful of the bones). We finished out the evening sitting outside, drinking espresso martinis and enjoying the warm summers night. A great experience.

They had an awesome beer garden, and not only that, there were free lighters for people, no doubt because smokers tend to have a habit of losing lighters (namely because they get leant out and never returned). Sure, the beer selection wasn't too great, but it was still a pretty awesome place.

Went for dinner at Flanagan's on a Monday Night with some friends and was pleasantly surprised. We…read moretried to get a seat in the bistro but they were booked out due to the fact that Monday night special is a two for one deal so two meals for the price of one. We were seated in the bar which didn't really bother us. The meals are a little expensive for what they are but when your getting the second one for free it's worth it. Our meals came out in reasonable time and the staff were friendly and helpful. My on complaint was that we had to chase up our own cutlery as there was none to be seen and no salt and pepper on the tables. The meals were good and for the price which seem expensive were quite big. My partner had lamb cutlets and there were four cutlets and a good serve of veggies. I had the beast burger and chips. And it really was a beast I had to push it over and eat it bit by bit. My friend had the Tex mex Parmy and it was also a good size with sides of chips and a couple of dressings. Was impressed with the meals and would happily come back especially on the two for one night just to save a dollar so I can spend it at another restaurant to further my yelp experiences.

Maybe even a joke or three on the wall. So when I saw the Strathmerton pub while on a trip up north, I knew it was simply *essential* to drop in. But I was let down. The Strathy was a vast, empty pub. Two TV screens on but no sound playing. A couple of chairs haphazardly placed around and only Carlton Draught and Bulmers cider available to drink. Don't get me wrong! I am not expecting craft beers from inner Melbourne to be available, but I think some slight variety wouldn't go astray. There seemed to be a dining area also available however we weren't brazen enough to try the food... or to stick around longer than our pot of beer. If you're staying out in Strathmerton and are in desperate need of a beer, the Strathy hotel is your only option... So I hope you like Carlton Draught.
