We’ll I don’t know how you call this a Parma Take a good look at it Terrible 😞

We had the terrible misfortune of 'dining' here last night after a long hiatus, hoping things had improved and oh dear, what a mistake. The complete lack of love and connection to food and what it means to serve people proper food was instantly recognisable, and I cannot even imagine the state of the kitchen, given what we were served last night. The freekeh salad I ordered which I paid extra to have calamari come with, was an abomination. The grains were glued together and rock hard, and the calamari was the most tasteless lacklustre just revolting stuff of nightmare imaginable. It had been away from the ocean a really, really long time. My partner's burger was equally horrendous and his daughter's open souvlaki was bathed in hot sauce (?) and encased in a very stale pita. When the waitstaff came to collect the unwanted remains of the day and asked why there was so much food left over, we advised the food was the stuff of nightmares and to advise the chef, and there was no recourse, which of course, was testament to the lack of love for the food in the first place. What a shame as the RSL is somewhere we as a family would like to support but the food is not safe and is utterly disgusting, and without love or integrity of any kind.

We called in on a Monday night hoping to have dinner there but the bistro is not open on Monday nights. However they had a choice of three hot snacks on offer so we opted to have those. Our chicken strips and chips and fish and chips were served a disposable container, the food was well cooked and plentiful. The staff are really friendly. The building is lovely, with many heritage features. There is a gas log fire which creates lovely ambiance.

We are members of the recently closed Bentleigh club and thought we would try this RSL as our new drinking hole. But they were not interested in honouring our Bentleigh club membership. Which put us off big time. They are you missed out on our groups business.missing out on a whole lot of business. So went to RSL Bentleigh and was welcomed with open arms. Pity as Elsternwick would have suited us for our Friday night drinks. It was nearly empty when we went. Drinks quiet expensive and food very ordinary. Sorry Elsternwick

The Caulfield RSL has a great character to it, especially in the St. George’s dining room. The staff are super helpful and polite, plenty of on-street timed free parking is available (check the signs). It is quite well connected with public transport with the train station and tram stops close by.

Solid food at good prices. It can be a little bit hit and miss but it's a lovely building and some of the best pub food in the area for the best prices.

Previously I've enjoyed my meal and experience, but today was a disaster. We had a table of 16 and we were all so dissapointed. Mediocre meals that took over 1 hour and 15 mins to arrive! No communication and overall poorly managed. Sad that it appears to have gone down hill.

Our group seemed to enjoy the relaxed vibe and food selection. A couple of diners hadn't been to this RSL before so were pleasantly surprised by the historical building.

On initial approach i asked the staff member on sky the booking but apparently it did not exist so on that front I was not happy. And after the phone call apparently it was there which was a surprise. ...... dissatisfied with that part. Anyways there was a massive heat wave of 43.5 degree heat. It was surprisingly cold inside. So with that I was extremely happy on that front. When the meals came through I loved it also. But I wish most of the startup dish didn't have spicy things on it. Otherwise a great to catch up here

No personality, bad meals and not who they say they are. Not a R.S.L. not recognised as a card is not acceptable. I mean a R.S.L card. Thanks for the memory and never again.

Nice fire place - staff relaxed, funny and helpful. Nice out door tables to eat at in better weather - Parma looks good, salad good, chips undercooked & chicken schnitzel, the crumb was too thick & chicken average thickness. The dinning room is nice. Good place for a quiet punt, read & coffee / glass of wine or dinner with family & friends.

My wife and I are from Canada and we visited this RSL on Nov.7th, the people and staff were very friendly and the building was gorgeous.
We had dinner off the senior menu and enjoyed it very much. I inquired about Remembrance Day ceremonies on the 11th of November and returned to appreciate the wonderful ceremony they put on.
Hope to come back before we head back North.

My son took me there for Mother’s Day. The service was poor. The carvery was terrible. Couldn’t chew the lamb, the broccoli and cauliflower were not cooked. The two meals was $66.60. All round shocking lunch, and a rip off.

My partner and I used to frequent this RSL very often. We were members. When we first joined we there often and enjoyed the great deals on drinks and the food was decent and there was pool table.
Then everything changed and it was awful.
Don't know what it's like now and don't care.

I used to really like this place. The food in the kitchen is still good but there is one staff member that refuses to serve certain people he actually brings down the place. I don't understand why he works at place like this if he doesn't like serving people. But seems to get away with it. I myself am OK that he doesn't serve myself because I find every interaction with him scary.

Hadn't been here for years after having bad service and poor food.
Food is greatly improved.
Very fast service and all 13 meals came within minutes of each other after only about 20 minutes.
Risotto was very tasty and there wasn't a scrap of a Palma left.
Very affordable as well.

Great service in the restaurant by Daniel. Highly recommend the crispy skinned salmon - cooked perfectly and the mash, wilted spinich and tomatoes a wonderful combination. My compliments to the chef.

Great community RSL, happy hours make drinks very reasonable and always an nice meal to enjoy. Standard up-market Pub prices, but food is usually pretty good. Loosing a star because of very disappointing soup but 4-stars because staff were quite friendly and easy to talk to.

Great building but and used to be fun, but unfortunately you receive a lack lustre reception from most of the staff these days. Don't know what's happening behind the scenes - but hardly anyone smiles now or asks how your day is. Especially at the main bar. At least the food is still okay.

Function in Anzac Room - Perfect
We needed a quiet and well priced function room for our Dad's memorial service. The Anzac Room at Caulfield RSL was absolutely perfect. There is ample parking, it has a lift for people less mobile, there is plenty of space and projector facilities. Shauna was amazing to deal with, we can't thank her and the other staff enough. The catering was amazing - superb quiches and enormous amounts of filling in the sandwiches. We were able to access the room the day before for set up, and were not hurried out on the day, it was very relaxed which you need at times such as this. Nothing was too much trouble and we were thrilled that we chose this venue. Highly recommend. Thank you Caulfield RSL.

Everything at this RSL is awesome - the staff, the food, the atmosphere of this 100 year old building....just a great place to catch up with friends, have a few beers, watch the footy and place a few bets! Great times all round. The only thing they need....Melbourne Bitter on tap :-)

Drinks are pricey, AND a gin & tonic charged seperately i.e. $1 extra for the tonic. Heading towards the $10 mark. Unjustified price gouging (not that price gouging is ever justified. Apalling !!

Been going there for years but lately it has changed. The wine i was told i had to have because it was already opened day before yesterday, (i know would have turned acidic ), i said i would like a fresh bottle. It is my favourite wine. I was told they couldn't open a fresh bottle although there was very little left in the bottle, so i had to settle for something else. I stopped eating there last Nov due to the chef they had. 3 of us couldn't eat the meal. The manager at that time said he would get back to me & didn't..i was told yesterday he had left.

A good reliable local. A bit pokie and gambling based inside but a great outside table area for when it's sunny. Steaks are a highlight but I can't complain about any of the meals.
