We dined at Ballarat twice and enjoyed the meals and the service.Staff were friendly and welcoming each time. Highly recommended to everyone.
Ballarat is a really nice venue the food is amazing we had one of the best burgers we have tasted in New Zealand it was delicious. The staff were friendly, welcoming and gave great service. We are looking forward to to going back to est in a few days. Thank you Ballarat for a perfect dining experience.
Have always looked forward to going here. Local and been many times. Unfortunately they have changed menu. Also changed portion sizes , now way smaller for the price. Only bar service now , no table wait staff. Dropped the good old basic main meals. What a dissappointment ! Was a go to , now a go to , NO MORE !
Staff are charming and professional and fun. As always. Ummmm but the food was a serious disappointment. No longer and real meals just burgers and what I call snack food. There used to be beautiful steaks and salmon etc. I ordered some fish burger and to be honest, it wasn't very nice. Dry and tasteless. Shame but to he honest, I wouldn't go back (for the food) anyway
