It was just Ok. Food was plentiful but not hot enough and served on cold plates on a cold night, and was pretty mundane. Service was good however.

The food is great. Carvery meats are cooked to perfection. Every roasted vegetable is available. Plenty of room. Very clean and a great ambience. Staff a very helpful and don't mind a chinwag. Seniors can enjoy great food and still have money left in their pockets. The views are like paintings through the huge windows in the Bistro room. This is a must on your list if you are visiting Victor in Summer or Winter. The access is simple with large doors and ramps for the handicapped and elderly.

Enjoyed the carvery for $29.00. Two roast meats, gravy, roasted veggies, salad, soup, dessert, coffee (no decaf unfortunately). Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff

Avoid this place. It does not deserve even a one star rating. Booked a table for 6 for an evening meal and each one of us left with complaint about the almost inedible food and its presentation. Don't waste your time or money, there are other eateries nearby.

The restaurant was not value for money. The salad bar and vegetable bar did not have a lot to offer, very
Minimal choice. Would not recommend eating there.

So disappointed with the menu change. No calvary. No buffet. No desert bar. Meat was tough and fatty. Veggie bar contained old tasteless veggies and didn't even get a steak knife to cut the tough steak. Never coming back again. Now I know why the place was empty

Entree was great. Followed by Yiros which was not so good. Not much meat which looked and tasted like left over lamb roast with no spice. Staff didn't seem interested. Will not return

Very disappointed that the carvery has changed.
It has no love in the meal like it used to.
The meat is tough, veges have no flavour and whats with no dessert bar anymore! We used to look forward in going there. It was different to all the other pubs in the area. Now its just like the rest. Cheaper is not always better! Not going back in a hurry. Very sad that it has changed.

Portions are generous and the food was delicious. Prices are reasonable. Had the the Carrots and Holoumi Fritters for starters and the roast of the day, Lamb and Vegetables. Definitely be seeing me again.

Menu was reasonably priced yet for being on the seaside the seafood plate had old seafood visibly and texture wise. An old piece of lemon and cool chips, with only a 10 minute wait on food it must have eother been a mistake order from another customer or pre made everything. Not sure how it has so many good reviews and a 4 star hotel a joint to it.

Good location. Semi-buffet. You get one helping of your choice of meat, and unlimited soup salad veggies.

It was a bit of a disappointing night. Some staff were friendly, some weren't. We waited over an hour for our meal and the entree tasted and smelt off. The menu is outdated and the service is very confusing.
