Mt View Hotel

Came here on a Thursday steak night at around 8:30pm and the place was buzzing. No need to book, walked in and there were plenty of tables available. For $22 the steak is an unbelievable great deal. The portion is very generous, I’d say somewhere between 300-350gm. Comes with a choice of three sauces, I chose mushroom sauce and is accompanied by broccolini and cut potatoes. Steak might have been a little on the tough side (ordered medium rare) but at this price you can’t have it all. Overall very happy and will include this in my weekly rotational pub meals.

Huge multi story location in a great position close to the MCG and enough screens to be one of the better sports bars in Melbourne. Food ordinary and beer choice ordinary but they don't need to do anything special here to still be a good choice for sports. Rooftop. Rather minimal when you remove the smoking section from the equation but a good choice for smokers who like a rooftop beer.

I booked a table on the rooftop 2 days before hand, but when I arrived I was told I had no booking. I showed the lovely lady my email confirmation of outdoor dining, but was told because my group was small I was relocated inside. I went inside but there was no reservation for my group on any table. Later that night I was on the rooftop (obviously without a table) and was told to "move on, last chance" by this small man with a bouncer behind him. I am assuming that is management.. What a horrible experience.

I will be back, I was expecting a slapped together lunch. Well was I pleasantly surprised, the menu showed quality and practical pub food, with options for everyone. While a nice bottle of wine was easily purchased, happy times. I tasted the Vegi parma, hmmm I might order this next time. My calamari was not covered in cheap batter, but nicely prepared, soft and yummy 😋. On top of all that, the food came to our table. Then they checked with us that all meals had arrived - how nice was that. I have been at expensive restaurant that left people sitting without their full order. I suppose I should mention that all the footy fans could see a TV and the scores. Yes you need to book.
