They make the best fish and chips

This morning I went there with Merryn for Lunch and I had the Fish and Chips but a glass of water to drink. Merryn had the Seniors Lamb's Fry with Vegetables, Mashed Potato and Gravy with a glass of water as well. We enjoyed our meals so we will be back.

I had been to this club previously and enjoyed a huge parma which tasted great, so I thought that I would return and try one of their steaks, and I certainly wasn't disappointed, I ordered a porterhouse steak with vegies and mash, it was delivered to my table in very quick time, and tasted fantastic, the staff were friendly and welcoming and I had a wonderful dining experience at this club 10/10

Sad to say but my meal was pretty 'meh'. Which was surprising as i've read and heard good things from there. I ordered the chicken and mushroom risotto. To be honest it tasted like a bottle of cream was mixed into the rice and cubes of bland dry chicken breast were thrown in. There wasn't really any flavour. I couldn't eat it all, and I looove my risotto.

My cousin's meal was forgotten, and when it came out and he said it was majorly disappointing that he only ate half. It was a chicken kiev that was so hard and leathery at the end of it, we thought it had been nuked in the microwave to cook it quicker.

Club Ringwood will not be high on my list of restaurants to go to. Shame really, as the setting is nice, and we had a great spot to sit where the kids could play with cars and do writing and colouring on the floor without bothering any of the staff or other guests.

Hi Kaspa90, thanks for such a detailed review. We too are risotto connoisseurs and despite all the hype about it being a â??difficult dish to master,â?? risotto is one of the easiest dishes to create. While itâ??s always sad (and indeed frustrating) to see (supposedly qualified) chefs deliver poorly executed dishes, itâ??s even more inexcusable when it occurs with recipes of a basic nature. Eg. Risotto, Paella, Soufflés, Meringues, Baked Alaska, etc. (We would classify a Chicken Kiev amongst these.) As for the level of service you experienced, there is no excuse for â??forgettingâ?? a customerâ??s meal! Out of curiosity, did the business in question offer to compensate you in any way for the â??lostâ?? dish or was your long suffering cousin forced to wait for his meal, while watching others consume theirs? Irrespective, it was obviously a very unsatisfactory experience for you both. Regards, Reeces

Very enjoyable night out at Club Ringwood. Food better than expected and entertainment was great. Initially one of the waitress was a bit terse, but the rest of the staff were fabulous! Very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back. Good venue. I was pleasantly surprised as I hadn't expected much.

I went to Club Ringwood last night for a Meeting and I found the atmosphere to be good even though the music was a bit to noisy to sometimes hear what people were saying.

On this occasion I didn't have anything but other times I have both eaten and drank drinks and were happy with everything to do with the Club.

Not too impressed with this place - we went here once not that long ago and found that the food wasn't really up to scratch. Very bland, poorly cooked food.

Wow!!! I am a regular at the Club and a club Member. I often go to the club on the weekend for a meal. They have recently changed their menu and there are heaps of quality, reasonably priced meals. I recently had a Nasi Goreng and let me tell you i will definately be having it when i head back this weekend. Staff are very pleasant and extremely accomodating which makes it a great place to be and also watch the AFL games that i dont get at home because i dont have foxtel. I give it 2 thumbs up (id give it more if i had more thumbs).

This was the worst place I have ever eaten and I was so sick afterwards. I ordered a chicken and avocado creamy pasta that came out at first with no avocado and with oil floating through it. And a few bites confirmed that it was disgusting. I would have taken it back to the counter, except the manager was shouting at the cooking staff, so I resolved to go hungry. My partner ordered a curry dish on the menu, that had no flavour or spice. When the waiter came around to check on us, we explained the problem with the dish and he offered to make us another one, when I said I would rather not, he insisted. The next dish came out with a heap of avocado but it still had oil floating in the cream sauce. I ate a few more bites, but it wasnt any better. Those few bites were enough to give me food poisoning however. There are many better options in the area and worth avoiding.

Hi SarahM16, thanks for your input. It defies logic as to why managers insist upon replacing a dish of the same (inferior) quality and can only assume it is done in order to prevent having to give the consumer a refund. As for the â??splitâ?? sauce and â??blandâ?? curry, no self-respecting chef would ever serve such things. The alleged food poisoning incident is beyond disturbing! As for the unprofessional behaviour of said manager, while there will invariably be times when staff need to be reminded of important matters (or disciplined), it is seriously unprofessional to do this within ear shot of a consumer and yelling is not necessary. After all, happy staff equals happy food. Thanks for the heads-up! Regards, Reeces
