   This is the fourth time we have dined at Chifley's Bar and Grill. It is always five star. Sajjan was our waiter and his attention to detail and friendly service were wonderful. We ordered a sirloin steak and gnocchi with king prawns. The steak was cooked to a rare request perfection. Likewise, the gnocchi was prepared to a perfect texture and tasted delicious. The chef is masterful. We will definitely return.

   I was very disappointed in the Veal Marsala, the veal was thick and very tough. Desserts and cheese plate were fine

   We loved the ambience, the food was excellent and the service outstanding. Prices were more than reasonable and in fact less than we would have expected to pay.

   It's a pleasant, old-fashioned atmosphere with pretty good service. But the food was sub-standard. The salt and pepper squid was a tasteless dish covered in oily batter. The gnocchi was soggy, of indiscernible flavour and floated in oil. Just not very good at all.

    Food, wine and service were all very good value for money in a special environment. We didn't have to wait for food and wine. Some late customers didn't comply with the dress code which was disappointing.

    Absolutely loved the whole experience. Stylish period decor and a very pleasant ambience. Friendly staff pampered us; chicken breast with creamy brandy sauce was ambrosial. We would highly recommend the Chifley's Grill to our friends.

    A great disappointment. Very amateur service “what sauce do you want on veal Marsala”, wrong wine, arms across you. Food no better than Macdonalds. This hotel has a great location and comfortable rooms, just don’t eat there.

    Had the gnocchi which was lovely but extremely small. Luckily I had added prawns, but it still wasn't filling, or good value for money.

    Service and food were good though we felt rushed despite there being lots of empty tables. The music was very pleasant. When it came time to redeem the NRMA voucher, 20% off on the app, the first 2 staff members didn’t know what to do and the third told me their system said 15%. He honoured the 20% but it was not a smooth process. I was surprised as the NRMA owns the property.

    Another amazing experience. The pasta and bread is our favourite and offcourse the mixed grill is cooked perfectly. Setting is great with options to sit in nice dining area, the atrium for open space or outdoors in the garden with plenty of room for family with 2 babies.

    I really enjoyed my meal, the wagyu steak with a lovely jus, but my two dining companions were not happy. One had the past with chicken extra and the other gnocchi with prawn extra. They complained their meals were overcooked and dry. The pasta eater could not eat his, left a full plate and complained to the waiter. No compensation was offered.

    We enjoyed our meal and thought that the ambience and environment was a significant factor in this. Both meals were well cooked and well presented although perhaps a little on the expensive side. Both the veal and the Wagyu steak were tasty while the steak itself was little on the chewy side. Service was efficient and unobtrusive

    It is difficult to write a review when there was no service and no food. I booked for Chifley's. I received confirmation of that booking. I even received a reminder of my booking but when I arrived at the restaurant, it was closed for people to dine in but you could order room service. I wasn't staying at the hotel. They obviously knew of my booking but chose not to notify me either via email or my phone, that the restaurant would not be open. I left very disappointed then had to find somewhere else to eat. If there was an option to give no stars for each of the categories, that would be more appropriate as I didn't get any food or service. Just nothing. Total lack of customer service. No apology for the inconvenience. Nothing. I even emailed the hotel to notify them of the issue. I have not heard from them either.

    Three of us went for breakfast/brunch. Our experience was very disappointing. Food was ordinary and took three attempts to get our drinks order correct. Even though staff were polite and quick, we won’t be going back.

    The burger Pattie’s were very greasy dripping oil. The service was not super. Had to get up to get things ourselves. Not much variety in the lunch menu (less than a normal pub).
