😠 Terrible service. Small portions. Overpriced pasta. We made a reservation for 5 and were asked to share a table with some teenagers. Escaped to the bar, but was turned back to the restaurant to order. As we go back to the restaurant, we get told we can't order as they are 'catching up' with orders.... People often mention told, restaurant, order,

    Terrible service. Small portions. Overpriced pasta. We made a reservation for 5 and were asked to share a table with some teenagers. Escaped to the bar, but was turned back to the restaurant to order. As we go back to the restaurant, we get told we can't order as they are 'catching up' with orders. Can't order in advance as they have 'paper system and may lose it'. The place is half empty. The bar staff are sloppy and not taking orders. I wish I could give it 0/5!

    The restaurant is a nice environment but has the worst service ever!!! No gluten free options on the menu and when I had asked the waitress to ask the chef if he could do a parmigiana without crumbing the chicken, that shook the service even more. I was told "No gluten free options, this is the menu and that is it!!" The only thing on the menu I could get was Chips... plain old boring chips for my romantic night away on the mountain with my partner. On the other hand my partner had a Meatlovers pizza which he rather enjoyed! The bar is so chilled with the best atmosphere. Bar 5 stars restaurant 0. The gentleman at the bar was a lot friendlier with top serve, maybe he should give the waitresses a few pointers.

    I came to have a couple beers at the Off Piste Bar (in the same general space) because they are apparently the only bar in the entirety of Mt. Buller right now with actual seats at the bar, and to order some food (provided by this restaurant). I saw the terrible reviews (2.8 overall as I write this - terrible service, food takes forever, etc.) I figure if I get there at 6, have a beer and order, how bad can it be? “Oh, we have a couple big groups, so the kitchen isn’t taking orders until 7.” Me - OK, no worries, I’ll have a couple beers. Just let me know if the kitchen is ready earlier. Someone comes by at 6:45 and says they’re ready. I go into the restaurant to order, “Who told you that? It’s 7.” OK - I walk back into the bar; I’ll wait 15 more minutes. Walk back at 7. “Oh, it’s going to be 7:30, mate.” You earned your one star.

    Nice environment, not a 4 star restaurant, but it has all the amenities for a nice night out on Mt Buller - pool tables, and bar nearby. Friendly staff. But the menu this time was rather limited but what we ordered was very well presented and quite tasty if a little on the salty side than we are used to. Still, it was a nice evening out. There are less than a handful of places to eat out in the evening on Mt Buller. Be warned that prices on top of this mountain is well, let's say, elevated.

    Overall not a great experience. Food came out an hour and forty-five minutes after we ordered, during a fairly quiet evening. And for all that, steak was very tough.

    Made a dinner booking for 7:30pm, arrived to find no available tables. When we informed the waitress that we had a reservation, we were told to “just find a seat anywhere” despite there being no free tables to seat 7 people, the waitress walked away and left us to figure it out ourselves. After another patron kindly gave up his table for us, one of our group had to go in search of menus while the wait staff clearly avoided looking in our direction each time they walked past. We ordered our food and drinks at the bar, where the staff were much friendlier however we were given the wrong drinks numerous times. When I asked for the carbonara, I was told they didn’t have it, but when I returned to my table shortly after, I found 2 other members of my group eating the carbonara that I was told I couldn’t order. We asked the waitress for some extra cheese and salt and pepper, and received a rude “the salt and pepper is over there” in response. The extra cheese was never received and the request wasn’t even acknowledged. The food was bland, parmigiana very over cooked and the meals came out at random times, meaning the first person on the table had finished before the last had even began. Very poor service, would recommend avoiding dining here if you can.

    Easily the worst experience I've had anywhere. One friend paid for a salad to be told an hour later that they don't serve them? Then told to go sort it out himself at the bar. The sausages came out cold for another mate while my plate of pasta came out about 45 minutes before anything else. Just bizarre

    Overpriced, food came out at different times, over an hour wait for food and it was cold. One of our group ordered a salad and was told an hour later they don't do them and needed a refund. Food that did arrive did not taste good and staff very dismissive. Do not go here.

👍👍 Easy to access from most of trails and lifts southside. Excellent coffee in snow, a bit strong but I like it!! Take away cup for $7, understandable cost in the mid slope. They give you the cup without lid, but lid is available near the machine, you can take one if you need. They use paper lid, I thi...

😠 We came early before 12 and asked specifically for a laksa and we were told to wait until the lunch menu to start. Then we waited went to the counter at 12 to order then were told no laksa for the day. All bartenders were so rude and it is unbelievable we got served like that. Rubbish place.
