We had a work event here which was executed with exceptional organization and professionalism. The staff were notably accommodating, and the quality of the food was outstanding. The extensive range of vegetarian options was particularly impressive. Overall, we had a very good experience!

The smallest rump steak I've ever been served. Half the size of a green bean and cooked medium well when I asked for medium rare. Ordered from the Park Bar. Disappointing.

The Heritage Room downstairs is really big and private, not far from the lift and restrooms. Our guests really loved the selection of dishes they served. Thank Michelle for her professional organizing who provided us everything we need; includes their friendly staff, especially Matthew and Bill. We’ll use them again!

We booked the Heritage Room recently for a Celebration of Life service. We were very happy with our choice. The staff responded promptly to our initial query, we paid a site visit and met with Mikaela who would be our one point of contact for the day. The room was set up beautifully, the food was great, and all the team were a pleasure to deal with. Everything ran smoothly and according to plan which is exactly what you need for an event like this (in particular). Thank you to Mikaela and her team.

My parents are patrons of this RSL club, so they wanted to treat myself and my husband to lunch. Surprisingly the food was very good albeit a little cold. The portions, taste and value are honestly better than most RSL clubs.

The schnitzel was cooked perfectly, fish was flaky and the curry of the day was very flavoursome. The fries unfortunately were cold and the wedges were mediocre at best.

Food presentation is quite sloppy, and the salad was merely a few morsels of salad leaves and onions.

For dessert we had a variety of cakes, carrot, blueberry cheesecake, passionfruit cheesecake, tiramisu and black forest. They were all delicious. My personal favourite was the passionfruit cheesecake.

Staff were friendly, atmosphere was pleasant. As for the gambling aspect, I cannot comment as I did not gamble here.

Overall I would recommend this RSL for a quick lunch or dinner with your parents.

Note to chef, presentation and side dishes really do make a difference. My rating would have been a 4 possibly a 5 star had the plating, food temperature and sides been better. The foundations are all there, it just needs to be better executed.

The price to join was cheap... At 6 p.m., there was NO ODE to the fallen that takes place in every RSL club all over the country... I found this very rude and disrespectful to those who've served and died for this country...

As for the food... I got the Baby Back Ribs. Let's say that I can cook them and make them taste better than what was served last night...
The membrane was NOT removed from the back of the ribs, as it should be... They had absolutely NO flavour, and there was still the sludge from boiling the ribs on them... The sauce was clearly an afterthought as it didn't stick to the ribs like it should...

Maybe someone needs to head to "The Sherlock Holmes" British Pub in Melbourne to learn about cooking ribs properly (I was there last Thursday night and those ribs were cooked right the sauce clung to the meat and every bite was delicious)...

Also a salad needs more than 1 cherry tomato cut in half and way to much extra strong red onion and carrot as garnish for the over abundance of mixed lettuce leaves... Salad should also include cucumber and capsicum if nothing else...

Dessert was the chocolate fondant and that wasn't half bad...

First time back since the beginning of the Festive Season and the club has gone through a few changes...

The club wide menu is completely different and a lot of the old favourites have been taken off.

Tried the Prawn Saganaki... truly one of the saltest meals i have ever tasted...
The Salt & Pepper Calamari was really good as was the Pork Schnitzel.

One of the best food experiences I had so far in Sydney.
The service starts from the minute you open the door. You get greeted by the smily staff that guides you on how to proceed further with clear instructions.
The restaurant team are very friendly yet very professional.
The food plates are master pieces as you will see in the photos. The taste is simply out of this world.
We had so many kids. Each one of them got an excluaive coring kit that kept them busy for long.
