Taste Bangalow - Bangalow Australia

Arranged to meet pals here today for lunch. Youngish manager ? very informative about the ‘ new today ‘ menu. Plenty to choose with local produce being prominent….. we’re told. Ordered the prawn and calamari entrees . Wow . Fresh. Tasty, beautifully presented. Ten out of ten. Excited about our mains…..My husband ordered a burger, it’s just ok he said. Our pal had the beetroot salad. Bright colourful with lovely flavours he said. I was told there’d been a mistake with my roasted sweet potato with Cajun spices and they’d deliver it when it was ready. My husband and our friend had finished their meals, my husband went to the bistro servery to ask about my meal it’s coming soon…….he was told.Eventually my meal came, with the offer of a glass of wine to compensate for the 30 minute wait, gratefully accepted, Thankyou.There was not one hint of Cajun spice whatsoever on my cold, boring, unappetising meal. Terrible. Awful. Actually to be honest it was disgusting. To add insult to injury, the ‘complimentary wine ‘ was some house variety which was definitely NOT what I’d been drinking.Will we go back??Not a hope with the attitude of the female staff who delivered my ‘ meal ‘.So disappointed after our entrees were spectacular.

Lovely old hotel, situated on main street towards top of hill.Staff were friendly, warm helpful.Had Bundagerg ginger beer fish chips, sorry to say fish wasn't the best, however was eatable. Accompanying salad was nice, needed some more orange walnuts. Chips were great.

Drinks were good.Not much for vegetarians.Food not great chips were good tho.

The restaurant offers a fantastic variety of beers and delicious onion rings. The scallops were tasty but a bit expensive at $19 for three. Overall, the experience was just as enjoyable as before.

The food took an hour to come out even though the restaurant wasn't very busy.
