The Chase Hotel 270 Canterbury Road, Forest Hill, Victoria 3131

"I’ve been visiting for years. But their prices are very expensive now. $5 extra now to swap a side of salad for vegetables. When they came they were barely cooked. The corn was wet and soggy and the carrots were tough. Timezone is nearby making the bistro noisy. Won't be back anytime soon."

"We ate here on a Tuesday night and were very disappointed. Firstly, there's the view of Timezone, then there's rarely a staff member to be seen. We waited about an hour for our meals and it wasn't that busy. A table of four ladies next to us had to get take away containers to put their meals in as soon as they arrived because it took so long. The prices are also too high for the quality of food. There was also no water on the tables and no one came around and offered us any during the wait for our meals. A bad experience that could easily be fixed if management is so motivated."

"The food is average pub quality-gravy was like water. Atmosphere from the bistro is pretty average unless you like listening to arcade games next door. Service unfortunately is pretty poor- -we previously booked and we were pointed to the direction of where our reserved table was and left to our own devices. -got to table and had to go up to the front desk to get more menus -they had also set too many chairs up on our table so we had to remove excess chairs out of the way to even to sit down. The excess chairs remained in the bistro main dining area and were never shifted the entire time we were there. -went to order meals and drinks at the main counter but was told they could only process the meals in the line we were in so I had to line up again at the bar in the same area less than 2m away to get drinks. -I ordered 4 drinks- no help offering by staff to take them back to our table -No service on our table, not even tap water offered.. Overall terrible service given the number of staff on a Sat night- no wonder they were quiet."

"Was good at the start for drinks.. but when we had meals and ordered pasta, we asked for extra Parmesan cheese and chilli flakes.. which we needed to pay 2 dollars for. I had my fair share of dining experience and even fine dining… to charge for cheese and chilli flakes, that’s unacceptable. 1 star deserved."

"Great space to chill and have a pint. I went there whilst my son was going bowling with mates as I had to kill a few hours. The tennis was on (mute). Beer is very good value, burger was solid and great chips! I worked on my laptop but noticed they were playing poker. Nice respite place."
