donegans steak house - BATEHAVEN

O. M. G. The BEST surf n turf I have EVER had. The new owner/chef has done an awesome job. I asked my wife if we could marry him it's that good

Booked in for Christmas Lunch 2020, was given a warm welcome on arrival, window table #1. Set menu. Welcome Sparkling Wine, entrée then a large main followed by dessert tea/coffee. Was priced on the high end, but wait staff and kitchen staff would cost them a bomb on Christmas Day rates, well worth it due to the friendly and efficient service offered.

We were recommended to dine here by Krystie the owner of Batemans Bay Caravan Park however we had two dogs so lucky enough they do takeaway and the food was absolutely incredible. Being an ex chef I always want to try peoples recommendations and this was by far the best steak I had the eye fillet and my partner had the Scotch and we had a dozen donegan's Kilpatrick oysters which were absolutely amazing. Fresh food great service I would highly recommend if you're ever in the area.

What a terrible experience, was like being back in the 80’s. Bad food and bad decor , woefully bad service. The oysters were bad and I suspect were a day old and definitely not fresh( how do you get bad oysters in Batemans Bay!)The steak was so mediocre and not worth the money, could cook a better steak at home. Seriously feel ripped off at the low standard of this place, you need to do better in this day and age. I felt like I was in an episode of Ramsay’s kitchen nightmares.

Oh my goodness, the surf and turf at this restaurant is the best I have ever had. The new owner and chef have done an amazing job. The food was so good that I jokingly asked my wife if we could marry him. The sticky date pudding was the perfect way to end the meal.
