Customs House Restaurant & Wine Bar

Great venue for a restaurant, however we got a table, no table service for over an hour, had to ask for menus. We're told staff were busy & someone would attend to us. Sadly we didn't even get to try the food or even have a glass of water. Ended up leaving and looking for another cafe. Would give you another chance in the future maybe if you had more waiters, otherwise we can't recommend you.

Lunched here today at around 11:30 am & chose their Lasagne with chips & salad for $22. The meal was flavoursome (even Garfield the lasagne loving cartoon character cat would have been pleased), with the chips being deep fried well and it was served steaming hot and within 10 minutes of ordering (although again I was their first lunch meal customer), however I would have preferred a little more lasagne and a little less of the salad. Service provision was very good by the young German waitress who went to the trouble of checking that I was enjoying my meal (not all wait staff care). The ambiance was one of comfort with stylish old charm décor with the background music at a level that could be heard over.

We were often passed on this place, and the location and the set-up looked promising when we sought something stylish. We happened to pass through Geelong for lunch and decided to stop. To be fair, we had the dinner in the meaning and he turns out that the lunch menu was nothing like dinner (that is, far away from the Classy). Well, we were anyway. It was a 1 o'clock booking and the first thing we were informed was that they only recovered from the breakfast service; No good start. A nice ambience, young employees and ... TATTY / GROBBY menus. There was a couple in, but it was far away from the number of employees on the ground. Wait for legally until we approached our orders (about 15 minutes). In view of adults, adults had big, that was good. While we wait the staff inhould ... read more

The service was good, the food were okay, the place was warm and comfy, overall very happy with our lunch there. I ordered fish and chips, the fish were not the best quality, but i love the sauce, normally it will be served with tar2 (hate it) but this one taste more like cocktail sauce. Parpadelle that my partner ordered taste wise was good just the sauce was a bit too thick, prawn was in good size & quantity.

Classic, appealing, knowledgeable and beautiful presented food. Began with a sweet wine and my brother had a white. Paired with zoccinni flowers (absolute generous size) and I had the pork belly W. scallops. Both appetizers were after perfection, 10+, the main head was marinated chicken breast and Scotch filet, paired with red when the manager did for us. Once again totally generous size, the taste is incredible and is a well-experienced Scotch, which is so tender as it was, Wow. The new chef (2 days) just started and is 10+, the way meals are presented and cooked to perfection. New menu is a class and absolutely fine food. The staff were knowledgeable and waited for beautiful. Klein wait, but that does not matter if you have a meal as good as ours. Big call the new chef, hands up! Will come more times practical. Best!!!!!
