Oaks Hotel reviews
3 Star Review by Juliet Zhu
Great setting with plenty of space for large groups, but the food is not the main event here. Went for a large work function and understandable that food was average with the snacks being the better option. Mains were expensive and bland, with the fishes being the better of the mains. Pizza looked great however didn't taste better than frozen supermarket pizza as the prawns were definitely of the frozen kind which lacked flavour. All in all, we liked the location with the beautiful outdoor setting and Oak tree, and service was decent relative to the amount of patrons.
5 Star Review by andrew lee
Celebrated a mile stone here and the setting and evening was terrific. Loved the bar and grill space as much as the outdoor gatden. Food options were extensive and what we chose came out promptly and tasted bloody good for a pub! Drinks were great too as well as the service standards especially for the food counter team and the service staff, we will be back for sure!

4 Star Review by Jonathan Kwok
Was in the area and felt like a good pub steak. Ordered the Scotch Fillet 300g. It was a bit on the pricey side however it was good quite well. The vibes here are quite chill. Definitely a great place to come with friends for a few drinks and food.
5 Star Review by Matt From bolwarra
Super busy at lunch on a sunday, but worth it!! The scotch fillet was cooked to perfection and the blanched beans and creamy mash were out of this world good!!!!! There is so much room for dining both inside and out. Aswell as downstairs.

Literally no service, expensive food. Small portions and mediocre flavour, only good for location and outdoor dining. Avoid if looking for quality
