   Unfortunately I had to send my lunch back as it was not edible. They gave me another dish which I did enjoy but the whole experience was disappointing and we had to wait for quite a while to be served and then I needed to wait for a replacement meal

   What a great place, we had 3 dogs between us, table set with water for the dogs when we arrived. Asked staff for recommendation, we had the red Thai crocodile curry and the steak sandwich, both excellent. Service was quick and staff friendly. This is our third time here and it never disappoints. Thanks.

   Our food was tasteless and unfortunately not good. I also asked for a pick up service but was told No van was at a function transferring people ( we never saw the van at all )and maybe after that could use that was very disappointing as was visiting

   We had two incredible waitresses at lunch today who promptly took our orders, delivered our drinks and food and could not have been more accomodating even though the kids wanted modifications on everything they ordered. The meals were so large none of us could finish them.

   Food was great, the drinks were cold , just the service when she took our food order she didn’t send it to the kitchen as we sat there for 1 1/2 hours waiting for it
   

   Grand View Hotel, BowenResponded on 17 February 2025

   Hi Terry, We're so glad you enjoyed the food and drinks, and we sincerely apologise for the delay with your order. As our team explained at the time, a system glitch caused by a brownout on Friday night affected some orders. We truly regret the inconvenience this caused, which is why we provided your meals free of charge as an apology. We always strive to provide the best experience and appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Team GVH.

   Waiting over an hour for curiosity bus,. Had booking at 7.30pm arrived late (7.50)when ordering meals at 8pm, been told no scotch fillet, no crispy pork belly, no Thai curry.. it’s disappointing with having to eat something you don’t want. It was my daughters 18th birthday and been asked at 9.30pm for my son to leave as his under age, which I get that however we just got two desserts sent to our table to sing happy birthday and security asked him to leave the premises. As I explained to the security we are waiting for my daughter to return back from the bar to sing, then we will leave. Not ok to push out my family and friends when we are there to celebrate her milestone, then once again waiting for over another hour waiting for curiosity bus. Maybe look into having another bus to commute patrons. Never had this experience two years ago,, but won’t be back SORRY!!

   We are from the USA so everything tastes a little different to us. However, in this case, different was very good!
