Sawyers Arms Tavern

Beautiful food in a relaxed atmoshpere with attentive happy staff. Meals were brilliant. Would definitely return.

This place is very nice. After a longer than planned day trip from Melbourne to 12 Apostles and back we stumbled onto this nice looking tavern. Needless to say, myself and my American tourist partner were dressed for travel not for dinner out. The manager (maybe owner) was more than accomodating seating us in this lovely full table service restaurant (with stand up bar on one side), despite being under dressed,in shorts and featuring full leg tattoos. The service by the table staff was friendly and accomodating, the food just great.Both mains were the two different steaks on the menu which were accompanied by a very nice red. If you are on your way through Geelong, make sure you have dinner here. You wont be dissappointed!

Wow !! Best pub meal in geelong by far !! The eye fillet was magnificent, prawn calamari entree was perfect the veal schnitzel was very good but could do with a potato side....service met standards the chardonnay was the best I've had as a pub chardy. Didn't like having to buy a side of fries at the price but the rest made up for it. Will definitely be back !!

Great atmosphere, food is okay, service is good. This used to be a regular haunt of ours for reliable pub food. I used to really like it but there are other better places in Geelong. It only does some things good and the food is pretty standard and a little expensive. The salmon steak is usually cooked perfectly. The desserts are always great. The steaks are pretty good. Everything else is kinda average, particularly the chicken meal and the duck is not good, way too over cooked and dry. However, as long as you get the right meal it is pretty good. I mostly go there for the atmosphere which is always great. Great place to go with a group of about 8 people.<br/ <br/ I wish they would bring back the deconstructed snickers pudding. It was the best. If it is on the menu and you like chocolate, get it!

My husband and I ate here on Saturday night for the first time. The place was packed which is always a good sign. We had a mustard and cheese bread to start with which the waitress suggested (we were glad she did, it was yum). For mains I had the Coq au vin which was lovely. My husband had the veal which he enjoyed. The only thing I will say is I wish we ordered a side of greens, both dishes were lacking green veg. For dessert we shared the chocolate malten pudding. One word, Yum. I wish we had of ordered a dessert each it was that nice. So we had a great first time at Sawyers the food was amazing and the girls on the floor were lovely. The only thing letting this place down is the interior! The roof is about to fall down, the toilets have cracked tiles, the front door bangs closed and let's in a gust of wind every time it's opened. I think it's time the owners put a bit of money into the venu to get it looking presentable!
