Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

After the lunch, I was left wondering why I had never visited the Yacht Club restaurant before, it was that good. I ordered the Marinated char grilled chicken breast. Served with small Greek salad, chips and red capsicum aioli. The suggested wine was Wild Oats... More

We sat outside and the view was lovely but our food was terrible- I really do not understand how you can cook fish that badly- dry as a bone and tasting like cardboard. Go here for a drink but would not eat here. More

Hi Anuka, thank you for your feedback. While we are delighted to hear you enjoyed our lakeside views, we are disappointed that your meal did not meet our usual standard. We do encourage diners to let us know of any issues at the time so... More

Was very dissappointed with the slow service, especially when it was a set menu. The young staff were very pleasant, but very inexperienced. There did not seem to be any senior staff to guide the. Food was nice, but just too slow.

Hi Leah, thank you for your feedback. While we are delighted you enjoyed your meals, we are disappointed to hear that your experience did not meet our usual high standard. Could you please email [email protected] so we can learn more about your experience?

Whilst visiting Canberra my friends took me here for lunch. The lamb was cooked to perfection. Great service, great food and great location. Would recommend.

Thank you for your recommendation. Fantastic to hear that your lamb was cooked to perfection - and that you also enjoyed our team's service and beautiful lakeside location. We hope you visit again soon 😊

I had a fish and chips which was really bad. The chips were horrible and the fish batter was hard and sliding off the fish. There were not enough servers to keep up with the full dining room (most were having the lunch buffet), so... More

Dear MannyG2000, I am sorry you didn’t enjoy your visit to our venue. We were disappointed in your review and it is not in keeping with the reviews we normally receive. No matter how busy we are, a high standard of service is mandatory –... More

We had lunch in the restaurant located upstairs, which is different to the ground floor more casual place. The upstairs restaurant has a lovely outlook across the grass to the lake where you can see boats go past and wildlife. This upstairs restaurant has an... More

The club isn't too bad. We hadn't been there before. We weren't sure whether we had to wait at the front counter or could walk into the restaurant. Staff saw us standing there and didn't do anything so we walked over to the cash register... More
