    We all enjoyed our meals including the kids. Couldn't resist a sticky date pudding. The donuts are sensational. Mmmm

    When you pay over 60$ for a steak and they are both overcooked, and definitely nowhere near the weight advertised it is very disappointing. Let's say that the best part of our meal was the sauce. The service, on the other hand, was good. Our waitress Chloe really went an extra step to make our experience a bit better. I just hope she received the tip we left for her. If you want a good steak, go somewhere else

    The Stanford is a beautiful place to visit and enjoy eating in the bistro or the steak house next door place there is a children's play area through the bistro restaurant so the parents can enjoy themselves or even head off to the pokies and try your luck 😉

    No idea what the food is like and will never go back to find out. Got there at 7:30 Saturday night to eat in the family bistro to be told sorry we don't have any clean cutlery to seat you. When I called from my car, I was then told by Donna that the bistro was fully booked out. I explained it was half full at best. She said there were 300 people booked. Seriously poor service. Wash some cutlery or find a table. Thankfully not my local.

    We hosted our daughter's birthday party at Winston room. We had a very good experience. The staffs were very friendly and catered very efficiently. The helium balloons which was part is the package helped in creating the party atmosphere and engaging the kids. Will definitely recommend the place.

    A great local pub that has Pokies and a Steak House plus a great Dan Murphy Liquor Store with very good prices. The range of Liquor is incredible and it’s well worth a visit to check out their Wines and spirits and also the great range of Beers. Prices are consistently well below other retail Liquor outlets. Check it out yourself as you will be presently surprised.

    The food is ok enough and the service is good. Low rating as the tables are all sticky which put a bit of a downer on our visit (I did check to see if the surrounding tables were sticky and they were as well)

    Excellent service on Thursday night. Prompt efficient and very genuine. Crumbed lamb cutlets on special were excellent. Juicy and tender and crunchy crumb. Eye fillet steak was amazing. Ordered rare, verging on blue (fine by me); but worth nothing twice now i've had steak on the under side, so keep in mind. It's certainly my preference.

    We had my daughters 21st at this venue. The venue was fantastic. Staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Barbara helped us with every aspect. Food was beautiful and the staff looked after all our guests wonderfully.

    NOT ACCEPTABLE I cashed a Ticket for Just over $1,000/- at the cash dispenser I waited till the Dispenser stopped dispensing and collected the $50/- bills and the coins when I returned to another slot machine I thought it was a bit light and discovered that was only $500/- I immediately went to the cashier’s window and explained what had taken place Shortly after the manager questioned me and took my Name and phone number and drivers license number details .I was informed that he would look into it and call me the next day Saturday 12/08/2023 as I had no response I went to the venue and spoke with another lady manager who advised me that the cash dispenser would be checked on Monday 14/08/2023 and that someone would call me At 7.00 I called the venue again as I had no response what so ever and the member of staff who answered the phone told me that all the managers had gone home and that he would leave a message for them to call me I now live in hope that a common courtesy would prevail I am not holding my breath anymore in fear of suffocating Please wait for the next chapter in this saga it will get very interesting Have a great life Please be kind to all people SINCERE APOLOGY Since the above post the staff member who was my first contact phoned me and explained the length he had gone to which I accepted I concede that I was wrong in my assumption and apologise for the inconvenience How ever if communication was better I would not have posted a review I will not suggest how you resolve your staff communication skills but wish you every success in your business Thank you for your patience in dealing with my concerns

    First time here Had an extended family reunion, great atmosphere, food and drink was very good, as well as prices. Love the way you can easily order and pay via app. It was very busy, so had to chase up my dessert. Could have had an extra person at the bar.

    I held my Mums 70th Birthday at the Stamford Hotel Rowville. We had a Black and White Masquerade theme. From day dot, Barbara the events manager was very approachable, patient and accommodating. I kept in regular contact with Barbara right up to the day of the party. Even when we had a huge number decline in number attendance and almost thinking of cancelling, Barbara and Gary the Hotel Manager were very understanding and accommodating in helping us and was able to adjust our package to suit our number of guests. Our party was a great success with the help of Barbara and her wonderful team, everyone had a fantastic night and really enjoyed themselves. Thanks again Nicole Tucker

    Graziers Grill House was busy on a Friday evening. Atmosphere good. We were warmly greeted at the foyer, had a booking and were seated promptly. Table service in this area was professional, friendly, & knowledgeable about their menu. Drinks arrived nicely. Steaks were very good, vegetables, chips & salad also good. 1 steak was a little tough but still overall very good meal. ♡♡

    Food was great. Garlic bread was worth every cent. Wife had salmon, crispy skin great. I had a chicken parma which was very enjoyable. Friend had ribs and said they were awesome. Other friend had the gnocchi and that was a great dish. Service was prompt and it was easy to talk to each other during the meal.

    Well priced food and drinks. Food was actually really good. Service can be a bit slow at the bar and some staff in a rush to go home. Overall, great night! Thank you.

    I have dined at the Stamford many times. I have enjoyed my meals immensely but this time it was sadly lacking. The Stamford has a large Bistro area and while nearly half was empty we were placed near a large children's Birthday Party needless to say a loud noise and running backward and forward to the great playground. Why not seat them near the playground. Ordered our meals via the app my wife's ordered the Roast of the day which she said was tasteless. I ordered the Satay Chicken. I am not sure of the accompaniments but never had chips and salad and the chicken went missing. For some reason the reason when I visit Melbourne I look forward to the ribs. For some reason they weren't available. I will say that when asked to be reseated they obliged. I am going to say out of all the visits I have made this was an off night I do usually rate them higher. So I will let you know how it goes next.time.

    Had a lovely lunch with my work colleagues. The menu has some great selections. I chose the rigatoni with prawns which was delicious. My colleague had the parmigiana. Overall a nice pub atmosphere

    We enjoyed another family Xmas get together (7 of us) on Sunday evening in the Bistro. Food, atmosphere & service were all excellent and its great value for money. Meals are very generous, fresh and delicious and all the staff are so friendly. A family dining favourite!

    We dined here on the 27th jan, and it was quite a disappointment. We booked for a table with 6 adults and 3 high chairs, and when we got there, no high chairs at the table. That in itself isn’t a problem, it’s an easy fix. But the waitress brought them over and they were filthy. The table was also dirty and sticky, the playground absolutely foul, and the menus covered with food. I wiped our table with baby wipes and they were black after…. one of the waiters was sitting at a table for a good half an hour taking selfies - perhaps his time would’ve been better spent cleaning tables properly?! Overall, pretty disappointing!! Saving grace was the food, but honestly, we wouldn’t even come back for that.

    We had my friends daughters 1st birthday party in the function room, really nicely decorated. Food was presented well, and staff were friendly, all in all a great venue. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue.

    Great place to eat and atmosphere. Very clean and spacious. Value for your dollar, the portions for all meals are huge and delicious! Friendly staff

  • 2/5 Sally R. 7 months ago on Google
    Disappointed with my experience. Ordered 12 meals, confirmed with cashier that 12 had been ordered but only 8 received. 2 kids meals and 2 mains missing and after querying 15 minutes later kids meals arrived still missing 2 mains which arrived a further 15 minutes later. Everyone else had finished before these meals arrived. Over the years we’ve had good experiences but probably more not so good. Probably won’t be back. Shame because we live locally.

    Fantastic spot to watch the footy or a race. I did both. Succulent Parma and pizzas. Open plan but great for conversation as well. Friendly local people who welcome you in.

    Myself and a friend had dinner here around 815 on wed evening and we ordered a curry dish which was $28 dollars . It was rice and lamb . The Flavour was very average and the bread was hard . For $28 I could have had a tasty curry with veggies elsewhere .To serve a meal like this in these tough times is not acceptable especially when My friend left half a plate and I felt bad because I suggested to go here . I won’t be going back here for dinner because I don’t like throwing my money away. Thank for reading

    Excellent service and amazing food. Appeared busy late on a Tuesday night but were able to get a table. Ordered through the online menu, however some items we picked were part of the old menu but they were able to alter and amend quickly and promptly. All staff super pleasant and friendly

    A can always rely on the Stamford for a good night. Don't get to excited its still a pub. Yet the family bistro is big enough to have a few families sit together with solid food. The attached restaurant Graziers is perfect for that special occasion. Went again last night for about the tenth time, still up there as one of the best pub restaurants. I will drive an extra 15 minutes to get there. While passing other pubs, so yes one of my old reliables.

    I came today for lunch with my elderly father. He tried to order a meal off the specials menu. He was told he must use the mobile phone app to order from the specials menu. As neither of us had a phone on us he could not order the meal he wanted as they refused to let him order from the specials menu at the counter like he could the other meals. The waitress told us this was to encourage people to use the app. This is a poor way to treat your customers. Any manager who thinks this is an acceptable way to treat an elderly customer, or any customer at all is in the wrong job. If you want to encourage people to use an app that results in less service, offer an incentive, not a punishment. We will not be returning to a place that shows such disregard for their customers and I will be sharing my experience with others. I actually believe this anti customer service policy to be discriminating against elderly people like my dad. Very disappointed in the treatment of my father today.

    Our heartfelt thanks to Barbara and her team for organising and managing our daughters 21st birthday celebration Saturday night. The venue was perfect for the amount of people, the food was spot on and Nat behind the bar was first class. Great evening, couldn't have asked for it to go any better.

    I had my 21 + 1 birthday function here at the Stamford and I couldn’t have been happier with how the event went. A big huge thank you to Barbara and staff for all their help over the night to help the event run smoothly. It was definitely a night to remember. Thank you once again!

  • 2/5 Gene S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was nice but kicked out half way through a birthday dinner due to a next sitting of people however they neglected to tell us about this when we booked! I am understanding of COVID restrictions but tell people when they book! Poor communication and poor management! Will go somewhere were they appreciate our patronage.

    Graziers steak restaurant never disappoints. Always fantastically and perfectly cooked. Brent was a great wait staff too. Keep it up guys 👍

  • 5/5 Gail R. 2 years ago on Google
    We, my husband, I & 2 family members have been here many, many, many times for lunch. My husband & I always have the fillet Mignon, no words can describe how delish it is, sometimes, just sometimes have to get the cooking correct, but always delish even if it should be medium rare & ends up medium. NEVER had a bad meal, always come back, our favourite restaurant. Absolutely wonderful & very professionally staff. Hope they can open back up & still deliver first class service.

    My family and I have been meaning to try this place for a few years now, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and dessert. My steak was cooked perfectly to my liking and the red wine Jus was amazing along side my steak along side some of their onion rings. I had the sticky date pudding for dessert, which the sauce was spot on not overly sweet. My wife's steak was too her liking also with the garlic butter and she enjoyed her dinner also, along side the waffle sandwich for dessert, which she enjoyed but reluctantly could not finish. I had a very nice latte after dinner from the bar staff which was delightful to top off my night. The atmosphere was nice and not too loud even for the kids. I complimented the kitchen staff on our steaks and desserts and they were very friendly. Thank you so much for the lovely evening.
