    Great meals and the merlot is excellent. Plenty of seating inside and out. Free sparkling water at the bar on tap!

    Had a fantastic lunch here in May 2022. Lovely sitting outside overlooking the lake, with a very modern and cool fitout. Lots of different areas for seating and also a small kids playground. Extensive bar with a great selection of drinks too. The food was fast to arrive and delicious. Staff friendly as well.

    Mixed feelings, first time visit. Even the reviews are mixed. Have wanted to go for ages. Nice venue & being able to sit outside. Food was nice but still quite puby & heavy food. Not a lot of healthy options. Definitely need a poached egg on the caesar salad. Drink selection is minimal. No Rose' other than dry on tap, so disappointing for some. Asked for meals to come out together but that didn't happen. Half came out then about 10-15mins later the rest came out. May go back another time but not I'm a hurry.

    What a beautiful tavern. Newly refurbished with the decor so nice, bright and very scandi. I was with a group of 10 and I ordered the pork belly, blue cheese n pear pizza. So impressed and very delicious. Love the HUGE outdoor area which I overlooks the lake and also a nice terraced sun lounge area.

    Invited friends over for an afternoon lunch on a Wednesday. What a disappointment. Firstly the lady taking food orders is unhelpful and unfriendly. Could not, or rather would not re do the order when I realized I had not swiped my members card. The servers not much better, no greeting or smiles at all. Our table ordered 2 Beef Thai salads, tasteless, dry and messy presentation. The Meat lovers pizza, had hardly any filling on and the tacos not much better. Rather take your price up and make the food look and taste delicious and perhaps stick to one cuisine and do it well. Must compliment the barman, great service with a friendly manner, perhaps the rest need more training. Beautiful setting and venue, which is why I have posted 3 start. Great place to go for a drink, but don't expect too much from the kitchen

    Now called the Robina Pavillion! Great reno, still being finished, but great to see a revamped tired pub now come back to life. Food good, service excellent, keep up the good work! And we Will be back! Great for all age groups, lots of families and busy on Sunday evening, might go mid week next time, guitarist and some nice music a bonus! 1 week later went back for easy dinner, the word is out this place is so busy...maybe once schools go back wont be as bad. Carpark was overflowing. So Wood fired pizza tonight! Not really a pizza, is a bulk "bought in base", like hard cardboard....topping choices excellent and tasted ok. It was super busy, shows Robina needs a good nice venue and they are trying, but oh dear worst crust ever anywhere. Got to talk to manager he was ok and said well the chef is doing the best he can with just opening, but I explained a "wood fired pizza" should be a crust made with a traditional yeast based dough....no not here. He was very pleasant and offered a free wine, just trying to give some feedback not wanting a freebie.....gee pizza should be easy just flour water yeast mix together let it rise and into hot oven is so good.....sadly we wont ever order pizza again. Will go back one more time for lunch and see how other meals are, otherwise these locals will need to find another local again....we used to go here years ago before it got run down and tired, as has other local pub venues....people want a nice venue but also good food. It isnt that hard. But maybe it is! Maybe that wood fired oven in pic is just for show, maybe they might crank it up one day, we can live in hope, but in future we will be going to the italian up the road for pizza as they know how to make a great one!

    Lovely meals. Nice seating and spacious open plan. Here are some photos of the steak with prawn topper, nacho bowl and cauliflower arancini.

    Food is fantastic! View is stunning! Little gem tucked away. The only thing that lets this place down is the service. Poor service and the staff don’t seem to give AF. The bar tender rolled his eyes at me when I simply asked for a non alcoholic drink that he had to make, rather than pour from the tap. I called to book and they couldn’t reserve me a table but told me we would get oneβ€¦πŸ€” Honour the people who do the right thing and book in advance. The only exception is the staff member who seated us. He offered fantastic service and was extremely helpful. Great place, great food but the service needs some work. Staff were rude.

    Delicious dessert, and the veggie burger I would definitely recommend also. Very fast service.

    What a great find! Nestled in Robina this place ticks all the boxes. The setting has multiple outdoor spaces with open views out to a gorgeous lake, the food is delicious- snapper for me today, and the staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

    We had a fabulous day yesterday at The Pavilions, for our Christmas Party. They bent over backwards to help us out with some some specialised menus. One of our ladies enjoyed a beautiful vegetarian pizza, and our guest of honour, who was vegan, had a delicious platter prepared for her. We all enjoyed our lovely meals and the beautiful venue. Thanks to the staff for their supportive help and service.

    Really nice venue, with a lovely outside eating area looking over the water. Staff were friendly and efficient. Personally, I found the food a bit expensive for pub food, and 2 people at our table ordered steaks cooked medium, however, they were charcoal seared and very rare.

    Hidden gem of a place with a lovely view over the canal plus great prices and variety of food. The staff were lovely. I'd definitely go back again.

    Atmosphere is nice however customer service needs attention. Ordered the vegetarian burger and received a beef burger. Told waitress this wasn't my order to which the waitress returned to my table to inform me that the 'manager' said you ordered the beef burger'. I found this quite rude and unprofessional as I definitely know what I ordered! The male attendant on the front reception desk at the entrance, was also cold and unwelcoming. Don't think we'll be back in a hurry to dine at this place.

    The parmigiana was the cat’s pyjamas here and kitchen staff fast and efficient, but I think I caught the bar staff on an off night. Cool venue but needs better wait staff who know and care or order from table so you don’t have to deal with them.

    Shout out to Kylie and the team for their exceptional service and friendly, welcoming demeanour. We visit this venue regularly and have enjoyed the fresh variety of different meals, a great range of beers on tap. They have all of the latest gaming machines. The service and cleanliness of the gaming room here is impressive. Highly recommend giving this establishment a visit. It’s thriving and busy, but has an array of different areas to sit and enjoy a meal and a drink. Great vibe and top service. Thankyou to Brianna for consistent service with a smile on many of our visits. The security guard, Dave is professional and helpful and a huge asset to the venue as well. Tim & Melissa

    After having support this establishment for well over a decade I am absolutely disgusted at how management treated my 75 year old mother after she had book last Saturday. Management was called on to sort out the booking of 8 adults. Management refused to assist and told her she was not the Clientele they wanted at the establishment. Needless to say no one in our party will ever spend a single dollar there or at the Liquorland again. You have lost 8 loyal customers. Disgraceful.

    The food here and cocktails were awesome. And the view and atmosphere is great even on a hot summer day.

    Attended for Happy Hour. Excellent price. Friendly service. Nice outlook. Didn't have a meal so won't comment.

  • 5/5 Lauren S. 8 months ago on Google
    Mikey, Greg & the team are such legends! Made us feel so welcome, and were so happy to mix up personal cocktails (even though the cocktail menu is great)! Had the best night with friendly staff and great atmosphere!

  • 4/5 Rowan P. 6 months ago on Google
    I’ve been here at least six times in the last year. The atmosphere is great, and the food is often very good. BUT there has never been any hand soap in the dispensers in the toilet on any of those occasions. NEVER. Which absolutely blows my mind, and really taints the overall experience. Someone is very consistently failing to do their job.

    Always love going to the Pavilion. Awesome selection of beers on tap. The Chef really knows how to make the Pub favourites spectacular. Well done.πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

    Really enjoyed Robina Pavilion on a Sunday evening. We needed a pet friendly place to take our anxious dog to and were not disappointed! Food was satisfying and reasonably priced (We had the salmon salad & thai beef salad), beers fresh & cold, service friendly, and the dog friendly area on the lake had a beautiful view. Will be back.

    5 Stars ⭐️ just for the location and quality of the tavern. Excellent selection of drinks 🍺 seating and meals are great love coming here

  • 3/5 Alex P. 9 months ago on Google
    Sorry team but the chips were cold, the Bun on the Chicken burger was cold, the fried chicken was just warm. The slaw saved it for a refund and I was with a group. To be fair the other meals appeared good for everyone else.

  • 5/5 Beau C. 1 year ago on Google
    Robina Pavillion's Service and Food is Great. Order the meals and they can be on your table within 10-15minutes max. Impressive considering how busy they normally are. Great meal portions you wont go hungry. Has a kids outdoor play area with 2 staff looking after them over the weekend, so you can have some time to eat your meal without the kids. Best to book a table to not miss out. It backs onto the lake which has heaps of Turtles, Earls and Fish in it - kids went nuts seeing so many. Highly recommend it

  • 4/5 Nicole G. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely lunch on a Monday for my Dad's birthday. We booked & were seated next to a window. The sun reflected off the white fence & the area was quite warm from the heat through the glass. I think they need to tint the windows. Asked to be moved & was put on a middle table without any problems. The staff are friendly & nothing is too much trouble. The food is delicious & the prices are great. A bit cheaper than most places with the meals still quite large. Will be going back again πŸ‘

    Cool place. Didn’t have my fave beer but it had a pretty good selection. The Tuesday music bingo is so FUN!

  • 5/5 Tim C. 3 years ago on Google
    Lunch on Xmas Eve. Booked at the last minute and they kindly found a table. Since the Tavern had a refit the place has taken on a new atmosphere. Excellent friendly service. Food was delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating with a pleasant view. Parking available but on a busy day a little difficult to park close by the entrance.

  • 5/5 Greg F. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited here for the first time arriving at 11:30 on a Saturday night with a group of eight work colleagues. Everyone so friendly from security to the bartenders. The highlight of service was when we asked if the kitchen was still open, and the team let the manager know about our request. The manager then fired up the ovens and rustled up a variety of pizzas for us.

  • 5/5 Joanne T. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 if I could. We've been coming here for a few years, on & off, & Sunday was the best it's ever been. Happy staff, great atmosphere & the best food I've ever had anywhere including fancy restaurants. I highly recommend to anyone to go there for a meal. It was fantastic!

  • 4/5 Jake J. 1 year ago on Google
    Couldn't fault this place apart from the kids area needs some serious attention to entertain the kids for longer. DBL beef and bacon burger was amazing and well priced with the amount I had only plate I was very happy. Big ups to the chef's in there keep up the good work

  • 4/5 Jennifer M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was tasty, reasonably priced and delivered in a timely manner. Spacious venue however it was a Friday night so lots of children running around. Parking space was very very limited. Had to park in a side street as all car spaces were full at 5.30. There were only 2 disabled spots near some stairs.

  • 4/5 Nathan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good craft beer selection and excellent venue.

  • 1/5 Liliana 1 year ago on Google

    Great facility to go to, highly recommend, staff are always friendly and nice, great place to be.

  • 5/5 Iza D. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is spacious with lots of different areas with different vibe. I love the sunbeds overlooking the water. Our baby plays in the plauground which is also good. The food is tavern like but tasty. Always enough parking for everyone.

  • 1/5 Daniel 1 year ago on Google
    This rating is for service and or the lack of service. After eating here with my wife 13 times since late June (house Reno's) we know the level of quality of the food, so no point discussing this But ordering a starter/ entree with our mains the food comes out all together and therefore we throw away entree. Turned blind eye several times, but tonight I complained. Management tell me sorry the kitchen is just being efficient.. Tried arguing with them pointing out it's incompetent and not efficient. I was eventually offered a refund for tonight's entree but it was like pulling teeth, so I refused the refund as I was trying to make a point. Amature hour, doesn't justify the spend, I have to now find somewhere not so close as I hate complaining. Lower your expectations prior to visiting and you will be ok.

  • 5/5 Carol T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food reasonably priced, great atmosphere even on a dark, rainy day, and prompt friendly service. Chilli prawn fettuccine was our choice second time round and it was as great as the first time. Really good staff and service every time.
