lake view hotel

ate here recently during a visit to bendigo and was pleasantly surprised. attentive,friendlywait staff and delicious food. highlights were the saganaki, salt & pepper calamari, fish tacos and grain salad. my only criticism is a waitress wearing shorts that were better suited to the running track. not very professional. despite this i would definitely dine here again.

recently attended for a function in beer garden, another large group was booked out in the beer garden for 7pm for dinner & function i attended was booked from 8pm. was told by staff not to worry & that group should be done by time party started. this was not the case and im sure wouldn't have been a pleasent experience for patrons having dinner having a function going on around them whilst trying to eat dinner.

finger food wasnt brought out until 10pm and bar in beer garden wasnt opened for tab and everyone had to keep walking inside through bistro to order drinks.

tables had to be rearranged half way through party after other dinner guests left, causing some disruption.

staff were more concerned with dinner bookings and not very welcoming or helpful.

one of the wait staff melea was lovely & etremelyfriendly& helpful.

all in all, pretty poor experience.
wont be rushing back & definitely will not be spending money here myself on a function if this the way you are treated.

surprising and friendly.. when we arrived we had to go through the front bar to get to the bistro and beer garden. don't let the dingy tab deceive you - this is very good pub grub.

i had fig, blue cheese and prosciutto pizza as recommended by our particularlyfriendlywait staff for starters and it was perfect.

we ordered the pub staples - i asked for a parma and my partner for a burger. parma came with uninteresting coleslaw but the parma and chipa were delicious.

my partners burger was full of delicious chumks of meat, and the louisiana bbq sauce was sweet and tangy. the only thing that let it down was the bun which looked like a white burger roll from coles.

very impressive from a quietish venue on the edge of the bendigo cbd.

had a great night there last night celebrating with family. delicious meals, great wine list showcasing local wines as well as a selection of other australian favourites,friendlystaff with good service. definitely worth a visit !

average at best. fairly busy considering average meals. dated and dark decor, amenities were very old and freezing. service was veryfriendlyand quick...but other children playing, screaming and running around the tables, while not the fault of the staff were very annoying.
