The Steak and Seafood Restaurant - Colmslie Hotel

Great food, lots of options, good service, easy parking, good to have a meal and then relax in the beer garden.

Took some out of state family here for a meal tonight. On entering, the restaurant I could not hear the waitress due to the excessive noise coming from the public bar. Asked to be seated as far away from the noise as possible but we struggled to hold a conversation. Table service was very good. Meals looked great. My gripe is I ordered a rib fillet. I no matter where I go order a rib fillet, so I know the cut very well. My steak was meant to be medium, it was more well done, but I struggled with it anyhow, as it was a very long wait for the meals to be served. Though I found the cut to be excessively fatty and tough. I mentioned this to the waitress and said maybe she could let the chef know. He told her that it's just the way that cut is. Now like I said, I have been eating that cut for years. I as a customer, who informs you that that was a terrible piece would expect as a minimum an apology. Not made out to be a inexperienced foodie. For $39.00 I expected better, otherwise I could of gone to the tingalpa, the wynnum or the Belmont, and spent $10 less. And to be honest, their steaks are a hell of a lot tastier. This is the 2nd time this place has lacked, and I will not be back, due to the cooks arrogant response and the atmosphere was very unpleasant. Otherwise the staff looking after our table were very attentive. A shame about everything else.

We went to the Colmslie for a Friday night meal. Started off by having our entree taken. The waitress rolled her eyes at us and had a horrible attitude from the get go. I ordered the $39 reef and beef. I ordered my steak rare and it turned up medium to well. I wouldn't normally complain but i did due to the price. It came back SO rare that my steak was freezing cold in the middle. I am not usually over the top picky but it was ridiculous. My partner told me not to eat it as he was worried i would get sick because it was so cold. Our waitress name was ZITA and i will NOT ever be coming back due to how RUDE she was to our table. Felt absolutely uncomfortable and like we were not wanted there.

Visited Sunday evening (also Valentines) arrived around 6:20 and the large restaurant only had a hand full of tables occupied - that should have been the sign not to stay. The restaurant is pleasant and has the potential to be great but no. I just wanted a steak.Staff were fairly prompt.Ordered some cheese and Bacon bread but the mains arrived and not a sign of the bread - so we cancelled that.Pork Knuckle looked great but was very dry and really below parRib Fillet - so I have cooked way better steak that I have picked up at Aldi. This was certainly not a $30 meal - more like a $15 Special. it was ordered Med Rear but while pink in the middle it was overdone and tough with no Flavor. I should have went with my first thought and headed to another establishment a few klm's away.

Have eaten here a number of times and has always been a nice meal. Good selection on the menu something for most tastes. Steak and also seafood is most popular on the menu and the entrees are tasty as well. They do desert but haven't been able to fit that in yet. Bit pricey for some of the meals especially being a pub but seems to be the way alot of Hotels are going now. Staff friendly and helpful and room is clean and not squashy. Nice for a family outing. Enjoy.
