Star Hotel - Echuca

It was a very cold day in Echuca and after a morning out lunch at the warm pub was just the thing. We opted for a pizza and drinks, fresh hot and delicious. Washed down with a local chardonnay and beer.

This was a return visit as we had enjoyed a lunch here before, what happened ? I ordered the special Greek lamb with green salad and greek roasted potatoes. The supposed "Char grilled" lamb had been over cooked, it was dry on the edges and very greasy. I think it had be previously carved and then pan fried again) the potatoes, what there was of them ( two thinly sliced wedges) also greasy and the "salad" well a bit of greens with a few sliced onions. Over cooked Over priced Over it. Lost me and the group of 4 others.

Enjoyed the food, it arrived quick & was delicious. Once we finished eating we moved to sit next to the open fire & had a chat with the locals. Would go back again.

This pub is in the old port historical precinct on Echuca and promotes Pizza as a speciality. So that's what we decided go there for. However, on arrival we were greeted by someone who proceeded to tell us everything they offer and it got so confusing that we didn't end up having Pizza at all. That was our mistake, granted.However, what we had was delivered lukewarm and was appealing. Service was ordinary and our overall impression was of a restaurant that tries way too hard to please everyone, and where staff don't seem to have clearly defined roles. We left feeling cheated somehow.

I found the food delicious!!!! I ordered the Beef and Reef The beef was very flavorful, juicy and went very well with the garlic butter sauce.
