Castello's Cardinia Hotel

Went here for a family double party, ordered a chicken schnitzel (w/ chips + salad) ... the chicken was microwave re heated was moist for fist and second bites rest was like rubbery hard to cut and chew, salad was over dressed. Chips were the most consistently average. Won't order that again. 28$ I can go to my local pub and get it freshly made and not microwaved.

Sometimes can be a little hit and miss, however more hits ☺️ I always prefer the International buffet down the road. It’s more affordable of an option. Generally can’t complain. Had some really phenomenal staff but some less than pleasant experiences too. They do have days where they have kids activities. A clown goes around and makes balloon animals. I believe there was a raffle. I was too busy chasing my nephew around and didn’t pay too much attention. Manoeuvring around can be a mess. The way tables are configured doesn’t give the best walking spaces and sometimes feel like you get to close to other diners

Food was discusting and I now have really bad indigestion/ and very strong pains in my stomach as the rice in garlic prawns had Indian spices and the prawns were hard, dry, even hard to cut. It's not an Indian dish. I am not racist, I am now sick I cannot eat spices. My husbands roast Turkey was thin slices like you buy from the deli, processed meat, as you can see in the photo, my daughters fish and chips tasted like the oil was weeks old, filtering your fryers is different to changing the oil. Deserts, well, wat can I say they didn't disappoint, that was just as bad.. Apple turnovers was from woollies or coles along with the custard in a carton, Tried again now failed, will never go back... . Food was Terrible. TERRIBLE Terrible......and cause we complained, the staff became rude. We didn't want our money back, the head of staff and the cook should be careful with what they say, but you definately will not get anymore. Would definately NOT Recommend

Menu is large and includes seniors and kids menus. Food quality was varied. Entree tasting platter was both a great idea and a taste sensation. Everything on it was delicious and a great choice for our group. Pork ribs were very good. Brisket was dry and not very flavoursum. Chicken tagine was really tasty. Caesar salad with chicken was sparse and chicken was dry and tasted not right. The servers were great when we could get their attention. It is a venue that can be very busy and extremely noisy but it was neither this time which was nice. Parking is easy and there is lots.
