Great venue and atmosphere. Meal portions very pleasing. Variety of meals and definitely value for money. Good area to bring the kids and they accommodate them well with appealing kids meals. Meals are very tasty. Lovely place for a birthday or christmas get together. Staff super friendly and very helpful. You will want to come back I assure you. Have dined here many times and enjoyed them all.

I am really surprised that this place as not had a review since my last one in 2014!

I've not been out here for a while and a friend suggested we do lunch so I said let's go to the swill n grill! It did not disappoint!

The menu as had a bit of a change since I was here last, but the prices and meal sizes are of equal value and the service is second to none!

This visit we share the Aranchini balls for entree, I've never had them without aborio rice before lovely! Main we both had creamy prawns, the prawns were soft and cooked perfectly. There was a short wait between courses, each meals was well cooked and fresh.

We even stopped to look at the dessert cabinet both going with the flake cheesecake, I love the variety of the dessert cabinet there is always something new to try.

I am definitely a regular here now with many reasons to come back! Highly recommended for a great meal, great service and great prices!

This is the kind of place that you keep coming back too. We came back here again to celebrate my birthday, My husband booked a table for lunch and tipped the staff off it was for my birthday so my dessert came with my very own "sparkler" candle it was a nice surprise and made a special day even a little more special!

The service is always great and the food is always amazing and great value.

We keep coming back here time and time again, a great local place to have a nice lunch though it can get a little loud inside at times, its always been a pleasurable experience for us!

This year we decided to skip the Valentine's night out but decided we would have a post Valentine's lunch at "The Balcony" Swill & Grill Belmont. It was the first time we had been here and I have to say I was very impressed.

At first we were a little confused about where we were going as we went through the side entrance via the car pack through the Gunyah hotel, but one we found our way in we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our seats and offered us a menu and explained the service since we had not been here before. We sat down had a look over our menu though we had a fair idea of what we were going to order since we had looked at the menu on the website previous.

I have to say with that menu, your very spoilt for choice. We decided we would have an entree and a main, as we were planing for a small dinner.

There was a short wait for our entree, when we were finished our table was cleared and again the wait till our main was severed was only short. We arrived about 12 and business was about moderate not overly busy but not slow either.

My husband opted for an entree of "Seafood Crepes" and I had "Oysters Kilpatrick" for main we both had the "Admiral's Feast". We were very happy with our meals. The portions were a good size. The food tastes very fresh, it is well presented. It was definitely one of the best Oyster Kirkpatrick I have ever tried. My only complaint would be consistency some of the oysters didn't have much sauce while others had a lot and some of the bacon was burnt but it still tasted amazing. The admiral's feast is something like a fisherman's basket giving you a selection of fish, prawns and calamari with a beautiful side seafood salad. All cooked to perfection. The "prawn twisters" are really really nice! Something I've never seen anywhere else, a real nice surprise.

Quality: We were more than impressed with the quality of the food served here. This is far better than just "pub grub" it is a really nice dinning experience. It's fresh, the menu as a lot to chose from and we were more than happy with the flavor and size and quality of our meals.

Service: We found the staff to be very friendly. We did have a slight issue when I ordered a cocktail from the bar, I was asked if I could ordered it from the main bar as she didn't have the ingredients down there and would have to go get them... On my way back to the table another waitress told me that the bar lady was going to make it so I went back to the bar. I was a little confused by this since they have "cocktail menus" on the table so wasn't sure why they couldn't serve it but it was sorted out and I got my cocktail.

Value: It definitely a WOW! The meals are a great size, you won't be left feeling hungry! I've had similar menus else where where the meals cost the same but are half size. If your local, keep an eye out for the 1/2 price meal deal on your "shopper dockets". Makes the value even better.

Overall: The atmosphere is very casual. If anything the restaurant is only let down by the decor and the view. There are no less than 3 different chair/table combos which don't flatter and are actually a little uncomfortable and the view while over the lake is obscured by building and yacht club but come here solely for the food and I think you will be happy with what you find.

We will definitely be making this a regular on our dine out list. All in all a very enjoyable experience. One I would definitely recommend!

Went back here at Easter with the in laws and I think it was even better!! Little disappointing the "shop a dockets" couldn't be used that day though...

The special of the day was by far the best dish. Everything else on the menu was pretty average. Nothing very interesting. There were 4 of us and we all chose the fish of the day which was excellent. We arrived by boat so we just moored in at Belmont and walked up to the restaurant. Very convenient.

Always have great food here! Friendly staff that know what they are doing and are knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Meals seem to come out fast no matter how busy they are, and there is a varied menu so everyone should be able to find something! Great views and atmosphere for a gathering or quiet meal for 2.

Thanks for your review! It's what made me give this a go! Much better than the yacht club where we use to go for lunch!!

Met a few girlfriends for lunch and the place was very quiet - only 2 other tables. Food took a very long time to appear, one order was wrong and I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish which looked pretty average, was far too salty and contained bacon... last time I checked bacon wasn't a vegetable!

The Gunyah is reliable for quick service and yummy food. If you check your coles dockets you will get 1/2 price meals which is really handy for those nights you just dont feel like cooking. The service is really friendly too.
