Salamander Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by STEVENS FAMILY
Made reservations for 5pm and it was a bit disappointing when we arrived, a staff member asked us to look around for our table. Might have been better to walk your patron to the table, bring some menus and explain how we could order drinks/food. Anyway we worked it out for ourselves. Good variety of food which was well priced. . Ordering was easy and we received a buzzer which sounded when the food was ready. Click Norris burgers, chicken schnitzel and prawn fettuccine was excellent and served hot.

Bit tricky to find it if you aren't local, some signs might help. But when we did find the pub, it was much bigger than we expected it to be. Great value beers, and a solid chicken parmi done right. Staff were great and service was really good. Really good pub to grab some pub classics.
3 Star Review by Rachel
We were travelling through the area. Indoor playground is a win for the kids. Especially with all the rain. Staff on phone very friendly. Food was great. So handy being able to eat and keep an eye on the kids playing in a fenced in area. Only negative experiences centred around a lady at the bar. My kids wanted to look at the Christmas tree on the bar service bench and she told me to step away with my 2yo because minors werent allowed near the bar. Like I get it, your serious about your policies with the bar but cmon, she is a toddler looking at a Christmas tree. Also picked up by the same woman for 2yo having no shoes on in the bistro even though we were just ducking in from outside to use the toilet and I was carrying her. What a grinch! She was rude too. Shame.

Booked a reservation for my friends 18th birthday, hoping for a nice dinner but because a few of our friends were 17 we werent allowed to sit and eat. Not happy, the staff were rude and the food is mediocre at best. We were just sitting there hoping to order some dinner and the staff were looking for a reason to kick us out. 0/10 experience
1 Star Review by Lana
Wouldn't even rate this place. But I have to put 1 star to be able to post this review This restaurant should be shut down, the fact the price of food is out of control. I have an allergy to garlic and onion and they straight out said no to cooking me a meal cause they couldnt guarantee me a meal that wouldnt be cross contaminated. It would be so easy to clean a pan and a pair of tongs but they just said no. I sat with 8 members of my family with them all having meals and didnt have one. My uncle ordered a pizza and they took his money and didnt even cook his pizza, but cooked my husbands pizza which is the same pizza. He then went back after everyone of our family members meals came and out and they chef said it wasnt made yet. The kitchen is an absolute mess and the chef is serving salads with his bare hands. And touching other peoples good with his hands and is not wearing gloves. Im appalled to be honest

Extraordinary Food and Service. Food was ready after 10-15 minutes, Really fast compared to other restaurants Ive been to. My Cousin got pasta Bolognese but devoured my brothers chips. You get a free ice cream for every kids meal. My cousin didnt finish her pasta bolognese so the staff gave us a container to put it in to take home. Really good play area for the kids. I would definitely come here again. - Robbie 9 Years old
