spread eagle hotel

was pleasantly surprised on friday night by how decent the food is. from the music playing and the crappy drinks selection you wouldn't expect much but the food was really nice. the steak i had was cooked just right and we appreciated the mustard bar they have set up. the staff were friendly and efficient.
if they increased their beer selection to include more than 1 porter or stout then i'd be here every week...even the mountain goat surefoot stout would do!

definitely one of the best pub feeds in the area. food here is consistently good. the parma and steak are really good. beer selection is ok. shows the footy which is another plus.

we we're visiting for the long weekend from adelaide and stumbled across this pub. we had just popped in for a drink on a sunday evening., a table came free and we decided to stay for dinner.
in our group of 6, 3  including myself had the gnocchi with mushrooms. it was so delicious. one had the chicken parmmy, which was well received. another had the crumbed pork cutlets which i tried and also loved. i would definitely order that next time and the last person had the chicken ravioli which had the most amazing rose sauce. 
i have a sweet tooth but don't normally order desert but i couldn't resist the chocolate fondant pudding with peanut butter ice cream and salted caramel sauce. omg my dessert of the year so far. 
great little pub on outskirts of cbd. ended up dancing the night away there too.

rude staff, good food though.

as a local pub it is exactly that, great a few beers with the lads, casual cerb side parma in summer and more fitting wintry dinner with the olds on a saturday night with the footy on the tv. can happily say every time i go am a happy customer. table service in the dining room can be a bit hit and miss, and on more than a few occasions a little whirlwind like, but i'd put that down to the fact that the place is pumping every night! looking forward to trying out the new italian night soon.

the steak and service tonight made me sign up for urban spoon, by the looks of things it's already received the pat on the back it deserves but absolutely could not recommend more. definitely be coming back soon!

the food is great. the steak on steak night is awesome and great value. what made it most enjoyable was that the service here was genuine, friendly and attentive - what a lot of melbourne casual restaurants are missing.

food-wise i would recommend the veal schnitzel. 10/10.

great night, thanks all.. went to a christmas function upstairs on friday night- and had a great time. staff were fabulous- very accommodating with allergies and intolerances (options provided still numerous and delicious), drink service prompt and our orders were memorised pretty quickly. dinner was fantastic- plentiful, tasty and well presented. pity that dinner wasn't served until approx. 9ish for a function that started at 6:30pm, lots of hungry punters, found out later that this was in part due to the party before finishing 15 mins before ours was due to start...

this is a cool classy pub! the food was lush and the service was great! two men looked after us and they were entertaining yet helpful. definitely deserved a love but there is only a like button.. #urbanspoonfaults

delicious. last night i had dinner at the spready with some friends. we regularly come here for drinks and occasionally have dinner here but this was the first time we had tried the new menu. we were blown away! the lamb shoulder pasta in particular was amazing! went great with the stone & wood pacific ale which we all are hooked on in this weather. the service is consistently great; attentive without being annoying. they're always accommodating (we changed our reservation twice!) and it's just an all-round great place. we will certainly be having dinner here more often!!

amazing!. upon entry, i was served by a lovely gentleman with glasses named justin at the bar. then proceeded to the dining room where a tall handsome man named harrison was our waiter! he had a great knowledge of the whole menu and took out order with patience!
the food was amazing we had the steak and the fish pie! definitely can't wait to come back to see that spunky waiter !
atmosphere 10/10
food 10/10
drinks list 10/10
10/10 would come again

meh. porterhouse was overdone and kipfler potato hash thing on the side was barely warm. wouldn't go again.

i had the veal schnitzel with mash and green beans & husband had the cassoulet of duck and pork belly with chorizo and beans. to be honest we either caught chef on a super busy saturday or they were still recovering/celebrating the shock richmond win in the footy, because i'm still not sure what all the fuss is about. schnitzel was slightly soggy being oil-logged; and husband wondered if he was the only person that night to have ordered the cassoulet (oh wait no, someone behind you has ordered it too honey!)... the meat was a tad overdone. we waited next to no time however and the waiter was friendly and efficient, so perhaps they are making a few tweaks trying to address the gripes about lengthy waiting times (that i browsed here).
seeings as this is basically our 'local' now, we will be back at some point to give it another go. maybe we'll stick to the much lauded steak night instead

enjoyed a fabulous meal there last night. the eye fillet was cooked to perfection and the side order of chips were crispy and yum! others enjoyed the lamb shanks and the parma. service was tip top. highly recommend. this pub makes great food and doesn't take itself too seriously.. great relaxed atmoshere, no fuss.
