    Have been coming to Watsonia every month for just over a couple of years just have a range of different RSLs … the only downside is CAR PARKING which was changed by local council??? The spaces are MUCH smaller than they used to be and I now have a smaller car than I used to . It’s Ridiculous ….. the fish & chips was yummy nice and hot with a good amount of chips & salad …

    Food and Service is always first rate, but the venue desperately needs to upgrade its decor. The tables, chairs and carpets have been there for many, many years and are completely worn out.

    My roast beef special was excellent lots of juicy tender beef, generous serving of potatoes, carrots and broccoli - my better half had the fish with chips and salad - what a let down - a thimble full serve of salad - really? Two quarters of a cocktail tomato, two microscopic lettuce leaves, three pieces of carrot shavings - can and should do a lot better

    Firstly we love going as seniors and have a 2 or 3 course at a good price but found that Watsonia rsl no longer do it, even though I was there a week ago. Any way dined and our meal was Luke warm , I’m not sure if they have new chefs or the meal was waiting to be delivered. It’s the first time I didn’t enjoy the night.

    I usually have the Crispy fried Salmon and have never been disappointed. Unfortunately the Lemon pepper Calamari was not worth $31.00. Not only was it soggy and just warm, there was no flavour except for the rémoulader sauce. I suspect that it was frozen crap from a local supermarket. Horrid.
