    Group of ten for Sunday roast. The beef and the pork were top notch and true roast vegetables. We have very much enjoyed 4 visits now to the hotel and so impressed with food and service.

    Great place for dinner. Food delicious, wine was a smidge on the pricey side, but it was open on a Monday night for a last minute dinner with friends. Absolutely no complaints.

    We love the Clare!!! We had another awesome meal there. The steaks are on point- my hubby rates them as the best in Melbourne. The only other close contender is significantly more expensive!!!! Personally, I had the new to the menu rack of lamb. Oh my goodness - so delicious, it will be my new go to dish. However, there’s a lot to love on this menu - you are sure to find something to tantalise!!

    We arrived early to ensure a Sunday Roast. The food delivery was slow, but it was worth the wait. The pork roast was yummy. Make sure you like peas!
