Wow what a find! After a beautiful walk around the coastal track and looking for somewhere to have a few drinks and dinner we went to ‘The Bowlo’. All the staff we so friendly and lots and cool locals to have a chat with. The dinner was absolute five star and beautiful,a full Thai menu and a full pub menu, we tried from both menus and it was perfect. Cannot recommend highly enough and we will be back.

Great food with lots of flavour! We had the whole sole and the Mediterranean plate, so delicious and fresh. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with this Bowlo feed, definitely going back!

Ate char-grilled lamb with hummus. Pleasantly quiet. Enjoyed the evening there.

Good food and we were so well looked after on Melbourne Cup day. They also do great Thai fòd

I went there on a school camp and was given coleslaw pulled pork, beef brisket and peas. We were told it was the best meal of the camp but instead the coleslaw was wet and horrible the gravy was sloppy and the drowned my food in it. Then when the guy gave me meat you would say to the staff “ you can have more “ which is fair but the minute I wake up he barley can give me 1/3 of a cup.

I had queasy digestive system and diarrhoea for two days after gettin a flat white coffee from the bar here - it looked wrong to start with, orange brown with black-brown powder on top I assumed was cocoa but tasted like instant coffee - it tasted evil and the texture was just gluggy - I should have known not to drink it and suspect the milk was off - suggest avoid if you don't want a similar result. [edit - response to owner comment 'we don't have a coffee machine at the bar' - nice try but it was around the corner near the cash register where I ordered the coffee - if made with instant it shouldn't make me sick, so there was definitely something wrong with the product - it tasted bad for a start - so let's not pretend I'm a fake review now]

Food is great at I Grill secret spot for locals.

Had a great day there playing bowls, drinking and eating. Food was great and the staff were very welcoming.

Always a friendly place. Great for kids, with a playground and outdoor area. The new chef is doing an awesome job with the food at great prices!

Fabulous Thai & French food that has a delicious home cooked flavour. Beautiful fresh ingredients. Great value: we had an entree, the best garlic bead ever, 2 mains & 2 desserts for $70.

The building may be looking worn but the people are really friendly, a great place for a beer and a meal. The Vietnamese chef produces the best authentic Vietnamese meals, but you can get traditional Aussie fare too. I'll definitely be making the long journey back, it's worth it!
