    We enjoyed the Royal Oak, the staff were fantastic and attentive and the food was amazing, the Wagyu beef was tender and very tasty served with a side salad and chips. We will definitely return.

    Three of us enjoyed our beautiful Mon lady evening meal at the Royal Oak with a great atmosphere all around. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and service was very quick. The food was quite good and pricewise quite normal for that area of Melbourne.

    My wife and I were recommended the Royal Oak and we were not disappointed. The service was very good without being overbearing. Our two meals were spot on and worth the price. The French red wine I had was exceptional as was my wife’s cocktail. All up a lovely night.

    Menu was full of surprises not the usual pub food. All 6 of tried different dishes and found the food amazing. Service was spot on, not too rushed but attentive. We travelled from Brighton to have dinner with our son, who lives locally and are disappointed there is nothing similar in our suburb.

    No coffee machine seemed odd to us and also we waited for our food for over an hour and after almost finishing it ( not quite) we were told we had to leave in 15 mins. No time to consider desert or drinks etc Everything else was very good. Lovely staff very tasty food
