Recently visited Hotel Monier for dinner with my wife and our 3 year old and we will certainly be making it a regular occurrence. The staff were super friendly and the food was amazing. The oysters were to die for, wish we ordered more! My wife had the Vegetarian Singapore Noodles and I treated myself to the big 400g rump and we were blown away with how quick the meals arrived at our table without substituting on quality. Very well done Hotel Monier! read more

I ate here recently for lunch the Chicken Pad Thia and honestly could not fault it! The service was amazing too, staff very friendly and helpful. Beers were well priced Schooners of Carlton Super Dry $7. I will definitely be returning, what a great first time experience, thank you Hotel Monier. read more

Yep. I agree with the other reviewers on here. Food has got unaffordable now and the drinks are through the roof. Went here Sunday with friends and the service was terrible. Not even busy. It was a birthday party and needless to say I and a few of the other's were disappointed with the food, prices and especially the slack service. 45 minutes waiting time is not good enough these days. Won't be back. read more

My partner and I went the Monier for luch as we have done regularly since it opened. I ordered the small rump steak rare as I usually do. I was disappointed with the steak and told the Manager that it was chewy. He responded " Rump is always chewy-you should try the rib fillet." I responded that I regularly had the rump and hadn't found it so in the past. He asked if I would like something done with it and I said yes. He took my plate and then came back stating " We have tried the steak and there is nothing wrong with it and that there was no way that it could be more tender." He then said there was nothing he could do but give me a refund and left. He returned with the cash with he put on the table and left. Then to make matters worse, as we were leaving he came up to us and said "Sorry but there was nothing wrong with the steak and that nothing could make it more tender." I said I did not agree and started to say that we were regular customers and that my family regularly met at the Monier for family get togethers. He did not let me finish but looked at me directly and said "Don't come back" turned and walked off. I have NEVER been treated with such rudeness and will comply with his request. My family will find another place to meet. read more

They over-cooked all the protein but the sauce was tasty anyhow. The salmon had crispy skin although the point of the massive mound of plain rice never did come to me. The stacked veg was alright although nothing special. I stole a hot chip off my brothers plate and it was perfect I wish they'd let me have those instead of my pointless plane white rice. There was clearly some trouble in the kitchen while we were waiting, the manager had to go in and sort it all out, with that obvious trouble we didn't feel like we could take the food back and staff wasn't circulating to tell. We did tell the member of staff who came to collect our plates at the end of the meal who advised us that we should have complained earlier and gave no apology for the over-cooked steak and salmon. read more

The Monier a very popular hotel, just recoverimg from a total rebuild after a massive fire. Food is excellent I suggest booking to make sure you get a Table the staff very competent and friendly. FOOD ample proportions with a good fair priced menu, Cater for kids with good childrens room. (Seniors discount). DOWNSIDE if your dont like to line up you will be disappointed. Can be a very long wait to line up and order.MONIER there has to be a better way to take orders. If one only cashier is slow wow it can seem like forever to place your order. read more

I don't expect much from a local tavern/hotel but this place disappoints even the lowest expectations. The food is overpriced, given the low quality. The salad that comes with steak seems like home brand packet salad. The steaks are not worth the $25+ price tag. The service is very average. Other than a very random little hipster-looking nook, the restaurant itself feels like you're in a warehouse. Very open, empty and cold. There are plenty of other taverns/hotels around which are better. read more

We love coming here for our family dinners and birthdays. Great food, excellent service and a wonderful atmosphere! Lots of gluten free options too which are clearly marked on the menu which is fantastic. And a good range of vegan friendly meals which my sister was impressed about while visiting! read more

DISSAPOINTING. Went out to enjoy dinner with family and my partner only to be told we would all have to leave (AFTER we paid for dinner and a drink each) because my sister and my partner didn't have their ID on them. The manager sent the waitress back and forth to pass on each of his messages not once coming out and speaking to us. We received inconsistent responses as my partner was told he could finish his drink if he "sculled it" while my sister's drink was taken off her. I've never felt more discriminated against for being an under 25 year old. No other member of the restaurant was asked to show their ID I believe because they were elderly or because they were there with their children. We then headed out the back after we finished our meals for a game of pool where the security guard then came out and said it was ok for us to stay. 5 minutes later he came back out and said the manager had ordered that we all leave (despite four of us having our IDs on us and me having just bought a new drink). When I asked to speak to the manager the security guard told me "we are too busy tonight, come back Monday or Tuesday or otherwise send an email". He was more concerned about the people around witnessing how poorly managed this situation was than actually treating us with any fairness or consideration. I cannot believe after all this the manager didn't once actually come out and tell us himself. Who does one ask to complain to if it's the manager you're complaining about? I will never be going back and I suggest you look elsewhere for a place to go out for a nice dinner. read more
