Gordon Hotel Reviews
Worst meal I have ever had. I ordered the seafood platter it was over cooked frozen when I returned it the only thing the staff could say was ok I will tell the chef . No refund no sorry nothing.

With a group of friends. Prompt service and friendly staff. Most meals were good. The Chicken Kiev was a little over done and tough. Waiter took my advice on board and did not try to dismiss my comment.

We went to the Bistro for dinner. Both meals were excellent and quite reasonably priced.

We had a off-road buggy race near Portland and we wanted to go into Portland to have tea and support the local town
We saw the Gordan pub was open and it looked very nice along the esplanade
There was 4 of us and we walked in and were very kindly greeted . We were shown to our table and we ordered a few drinks while we decided what we wanted off the great pub menu . We all ordered and the meals were so quick to come out and the meals were absolutely delicious. Everything in the bistro was clean and tidy and had a great atmosphere. It was definitely a great experience and when in Portland , I’ll be going back to the gordan pub again

To the waitress who served our lunch today on table 20 and told us that gravy didn't come with the schnitzel we ordered. It did! and you could've easily checked the menu as it was written on there. Just remember the customer is always right and good service goes a long way, while bad service is always remembered.

This Pub lacks atmosphere,
Stopped in for a drink on Saturday evening and it seemed a hard chore for the lady serving us, no smile or suggestions, maybe if she was more welcoming and chatty we would have stayed to have dinner at your hotel.
One drink was enough.

The staff were friendly enoufu but the food seemed overly ambitious for what it was. I ordered the Spanish mussels and whilst they were generous with the chorizo amount, they were not so much with the actual mussels, usually you expect a huge bowl when mussels are listed as a main. I should also add I am unsure as to whether the mussels were fresh. In regards to the dish itself the broth was overall tasty but the vegetables fennel and onions in particular were poorly cooked and most of the onion was in fact undercooked massively. The sourdough bread served with it whilst good at mopping up the broth was far too dense and could do with rising more during the proof assuming they make their own. I would probably return as its a nice location and my friend enjoyed his Parma but it ¹could just do with a bit of fine tuning.

The pub is clean, uncrowded and well lit, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The tables are organised with room to move between them when guests are seated, which is important for anyone with mobility or access issues.
Our meals took a fair while to come out, even though the pub was not busy at the time and the lunch crowd had not yet arrived when we ordered.
Two of our group said their meals were great. They ordered the beef burger and really enjoyed their lunch.
The other person in our group and I both ordered the chicken parmigiana which was very nice and well-presented. The staff were quite happy to substitute bacon for ham in my parmi without question, demonstrating a great attitude toward customer preferences and/or sensitivities.
The sweet potato fries were excellent -
crispy and perfectly cooked.
However, the salad leaves looked and tasted as though they were at their freshest at some point during last week. Other than my one initial ‘poke and chop’ test to determine whether its appearance belied its quality — it did not— i did not touch the salad.

The family went to the Gordon for a meal and we were not disappointed.
Reasonably priced and something for everyone including the kids. The highlight was the chicken mushroom risotto.
A nice place to pop in for a meal if you are staying a few days in the region.

Sunday night dinner, I ordered a mixed grill and not what I expected, rissole the size of a wall nut,piece of chicken couldn't have been dryer, piece of steak dry and horrible, Chipotle sausage only thing cooked correctly every thing else tasted precooked, I'm local and will be eating elsewhere next time.
Very disappointing.

Poor signage to help navigate new customers of the venues areas. Cleanliness of bathrooms was lacking. The manager on duty was eating dinner in the TAB/Main bar area whilst the few patrons they had were waiting for drinks. Bar staff dissuaded us from ordering food. Very limited draught beer selection. I could go on but I won't. Disappointing....

Nice pub in a great spot.
New owners having some teething problems but food is good. Large beef schnitzels, tasty salmon fillet with garlic prawns, yummy chips.

Meals were barely warm and when we told staff they said they felt them and they were warm and not too bad being just warm. Yes we got a refund eventually but they had no manager on so I rang the black rhino corporate office to give them feedback and the staff at the Gordon were not happy I rang. If the staff won't handle when issues arise then it has to go to higher management. Also prices are high for what you get $41 for a porterhouse steak

I would give the hotel a miss went there for dinner ordered 2 Thai salads one with prawns one with calamari the size of the servings were very very small . I got 4 small prawns my husband got 4 frozen calamari which cost us $59 the table beside us also ordered the same salad but it was twice the size of ours the other table were locals I would say don’t waste your time eat somewhere else

Had an amazing southern fried chicken burger for lunch here. Piping hot. Stuffed full of ingredients. Sauces so tasty. Faultless presentation. Chips light, crispy and piping hot. I could not fault this burger in any way. Staff were exceptionally kind to me. Venue beautifully clean. Thank you.

Great little place. Waitress was a bit pushy. Trying to convince us what we should eat instead of just taking our order.
Food was great in the end. Salad fresh and crisp.
Would recommend this venue.

Great evening with the family. Very popular over the long weekend. Nice menue and very tasty food.We reserved a table as there were many many people wanting a little bit of country style hospitality. Nice refreshing drinks we had with our meal. We will be back..

Food from here is very consistent, with big portion sizes and good food. Every time i've been here i've ordered the parma every time its been very similar and of a good quality.

Dropped in for dinner whilst in town. Waited an hour for a beef burger, calamari main and barramundi. The burger and the calamari were luke warm and dry. Barramundi was nice. If not for that we would have given a one star review.

Been here for a lunch on a weekend. Food was nice, especially the Risotto was marvellous. We also tried the sweet potato wedges and fish n chips which was pretty nice too. The Thai noodle salad was quite cold, but was nice n gently spicy which all of us enjoyed much. The seating n ambience was nice n cozy and great location near to Portland town centre.

Bar Man was a bit off-putting. But the food was alright. Veg wasn't that tasty! Meals a bit pricey.
