Very picturesque with the option of purchasing food to feed farm animals and turtles. Also a great cafe.

I have been many times, I have had good experiences and sometimes not so good but have remained loyal, now of late the place and the food has gone seriously downhill. I visited for lunch on Sunday with a friend. We ordered the pie, a meat pie that was $26, it was suppose to come with mash, runny peas and onion rings, so for this reason we both ordered it. We were feeling hungry and on a cold day thought it would be a filling dish- but a ridiculous plate turned up at the table holding a pie and a smear of mash, under the pie and a tiny spoonful of runny peas on the side of the pie and only 3 onions rings sitting on the peas, seriously ridiculous. Meaning to look like a pie - Al carte but why in the world would any person pay $26 each for a meat pie at the Jindalee hotel to receive less peas, less potato, than you get at a bakery with your pie, and at a bakery price maybe the highest price of $9 to be generous. The expectation paying $26 each would be a spoonfuls of mash, with peas and let’s say 6 onion rings with a pie- the pie was absolutely nothing special and definitely was not a good gourmet pie. This is absolutely robbery and really embarrassing that the Jindalee hotel expect $26 per person for a pie on their menu and not serve that pie as one would presume. A pie with mash, peas and onion rings on the side, a hearty pub meal. Trying to make it look fancy so they don’t have to give you a reasonable serving is a disgrace. A pie is just a pie and not worth $26 purely because they make it look artsy, using as little sides as possible- so annoyed. The staff are lethargic, no energy and bring drinks to the table without a glass or ice. People are doing it tough and expect to pay a reasonable amount of money for a reasonable serving of food, the staff have no idea how to handle a complaint, the place is a huge disappointment. Good on you, Jindalee Hotel! for grabbing $52 for 2 pies on a plate- great effort! I certainly do not recommend spending your hard earned money at the Jindalee hotel. The response from the manager seen on my review was not followed up, I did contact him at his request but he chose to ignore my contact-seems like his response was all for the readers sake to make it look like he cared, he didn’t, prefers to loose customer’s great work, Scott! Disgraceful.

We came here for lunch yesterday and had the best time. Kelsey the manager made sure we had everything we needed and was so helpful and friendly. She helped the kids pick out what they wanted to eat and made everything so easy. Whatever they're paying her isn't enough for the effort she put in to giving us a good experience.

Had a great dinner! Place was busy and buzzing on a Saturday night, but food was served really quickly! Wished the portion was bigger for the pork belly, but the lamb shank was really well cooked with a large portion!

I've had to reduce my rating - recently the food has been pretty poor quality. The pie was awful, the $38 seafood basket was mostly batter. The vegan burger was the only decent thing, and I found a hair stuck in the pattie. Oh well, it has good staff on the floor, and it's close to Coles.
