lord of the isles

great food, great service, great venue had the rump steak withchipsand veggies - steak was done perfectly- would highly recommend trying it

very clean and tidy pub with great spaces and outdoor entertaining areas. entrees were okay, cheese and garlic focaccia were undercooked but thechipswere delightful with great dipping sauces.

the seafood linguine was a great portion size and could taste the freshness of the seafood amongst the chilli and tomato sauce. couple of my friends has the steak which looked amazing with roasted potatoes that were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

service was slow to begin with but mains came out within a reasonable time.

would come back again ! very impressed.

the autumn menu is a cracker !. we've been coming here for 15 years. mostly average..
we had lunch on saturday and the food was the best we've had in geelong. four of us ordered crumbed lamb cutlets with peas and mash and one chicken parma with chips.
the mash was sublime and the cutlets superb.
thechipswith the parma were twice cooked and the best i've ever tasted.
all in a good experience. we'll be back for more very soon !

beautiful ambiance and lovely waitresses. garlic bread was beautiful and very prompt service throughout the night. scotch fillet was absolutely amazing very tender, and mash was extremely creamy to match the peppercorn sauce. king george fish andchipswere very plain, batter very oily (didnt eat it) and salad plain as well. no better than a fish and chip shop but paid $33. overall would go back for the steak (however pricey at $34). would have been nice to see more variety on the menu there wasn't one salad which was disappointing and only one pasta. 6/10 overall

mutton dressed as lamb. the website and menu make the food sound a lot better than it actually is. we ordered tapas thinking it would be good to try a few things but overall very ordinary. this is definitely a bistro not a restaurant and the food was definitely not freshly prepared.chipswere those soft powdery frozen type, calamari overcooked in something that tasted like spare rib batter, arancini tasted like it had been in the fridge/freezer for a very long time before cooking, i couldn't finish my thai fish cake it was that ordinary, and the peking duck spring rolls did not have any taste that resembled peking duck whatsoever. disappopointing and expensive. the beer was cold and the table service relatively friendly but you had to go to the bar to order a glass of wine.

poor lunch review. hi - three adults and 1 child attended the lord of the isles hotel yesterday for lunch. the prices of each lunch were well above what is generally expected in geelong, especially given the quality of the products. the ceasar salad was 'messy' inpresentation - the bacon pieces like charcoal and inedible. the second lunch - whiting - consisted of two tiny filletsw (i would question whether the fish was 'size'). poorly presented salad and thechipswere cold. the other lunch was definitely two entree sizes - entrees for a child. again the salad was poorly presented and the bacon like charcoal in the mini ceasar salad. the childs calamari ws (heavens above), just that awful processed white fish (if it could be called fish). as long term patrons of the lord of the isles out lunch reinforced the decision we made some months ago that it is a) too expensive for what is provided. i need to note that the service was okay - that's because of the limited number of patrons. as an aside, as a lunch venue the interior is incredibly dark. okay for an evening meal, but more is expected at lunch. we were extremely disappointed and won't be attending again.

disappointing. i have been to lord of the isles a few times now and i will never go back again! the service is not as good as it used to be and i found out tonight that they have a employed a new chef hence why i will not be returning. our food was terrible, there was a basket ofchipsthat we disgusting (how hard is it to getchipsright?) the beef, lamb and duck did not taste good at all. when paying i wasn't even asked how our food was. we both left very disappointed with the food and service. i will not be recommending this place to anyone again.
