The Clayton Hotel Reviews
We went last night and the gentleman and lady servers went above and beyond at the restaurant! Their enthusiasm was fantastic, the food was also really nice. Thanks :)

We got here at 1130, quite inside. Some staff seemed rude. Had a steak sandwich and it was very nice.
Place has keno and pokies.

Was in the area catching up with a mate to pick-up some stuff and he suggested we go to the Clayton Hotel for a Parma. Excellent parma and chips and the salad was good too. Took a little longer than expected for the meal to come out but it was well worth it. Best parma I have had in years. Highly recommended. Cleaned up the entire plate!

Very tasty food, generous portions in right price. Fast service and friendly staff. Good coffee and good selection of wine and beer. It's a great place for family lunch.

Very friendly and professional service. My flathead fillets were delicious. The barely there crisp batter over succulent tender fillets. Large chips, tartare sauce and tasty salad accompaniment.
Today I had the Linguini De Mare. Selection of local seafood; mussels, calamari and prawns, in a white wine and cream sauce. Delicious.
My partner had the Chicken Schnitzel, home made to order on the premises. Not reheated frozen dried out chicken. Very tender and lightly crumbed. Perfect.

Two of us came to The Clayton Hotel in Clayton for dinner on a Friday night. We both ordered Chicken Parma’s and they were very delicious. A big shoutout to the Clayton Hotel worker, Leanne, who was absolutely brilliant. She was hustling and working hard to make sure every single patron in the restaurant was comfortable, fed, watered, and happy. She was so smiley and positive and made us feel so welcome. 5/5 stars for her amazing service. Thank you!

This place is great! We love coming here for coffee. Meals look fantastic and delicious but never have tried one. The tiramisu in a little glass is amazing. All the staff are very talkative and friendly

The security over here has issues with guest being expressive over sports. And this is a pub with 10 screens all of which display a different sport. The old cranky man from security is acting as if you're in his house.

The restaurant's happy hour from 4-6pm offers cheap beer and incredibly delicious onion rings. Highly recommended for those seeking affordable drinks and appetizing snacks.

Stood waiting to be seated while waiter was wondering around looking for something to do. Eventually seated by someone else. Order at the bar or with QR code. Service at table was awkward almost clumsy by the male waiter. Food was delicious. Would recommend the fish and chips or the burger. Everyone was satisfied with their meal. The atmosphere is very bistro, the pokies are just there in the next room and there were a number of noisy children running around. Overall the food got them over the line and I would recommend if you want a good reasonably price pub feed. Parking is a little difficult may have to walk a bit.

Not much to shout about. Reasonable food to sort your cravings.
APPETISER
1. Calamari is tender and was good. Extra slice of lemon would had been perfect. Overall a 4.3/5.0
2. Roast Pork. Crispy skin and balanced flavour. Paired with the sauce and grapefruit was a good combination. Overall 4.0/5.0
MAINS
1. Beef Steak was a little over done and was little dry. Vegetables was just blanched therefore not much flavour and no condiments to pair with. Overall a 3.0/5.0
2. Barramundi with Truffle Sauce. Love the Truffle sauce. it wasn't overpowering. The sauce is compatible with the fish also the mash. Overall a 3.8/5.0
It was a wedding dinner, not sure about the price. Do not quote me on that.

My brother and I had lunch here. Has a sport area, pokies, bar and restaurant in the one place. The staff extremely friendly. The food were massive portions and very tasty. They have an outside area. Very close to public transport and on the main road of Clayton. Highly recommend.

Love coming to the Clayton Hotel. The staff are amazing especially Leanne. She remembers you even if it’s a year between visiting! Nothing is too much for the staff, the customer service is next level, they are friendly and you can tell they all like working there. The food is delicious and the owners wife and mum make delicious cakes. It has a really great atmosphere like you are visiting family. Highly recommend! Leave time for parking as for any location in a built up area.

I was my first time there, and what an impression I had. The bistro is a tad small, but we didn't have to wait for a table even without a reservation. The highlight of the whole place was Leanne. She was such a charm. Top notch wait staff I've seen anywhere. She's the reason I'll be back, although I have to travel more than 3 hours' return trip. Invaluable staff member for the hotel. She's so friendly, helpful, and experienced in what she does. I can't say enough. I don't even need to talk about the food. Kudos to her.

It’s a good spot for drinks but don’t bother with the food. I went there on a Friday and was given cold, uncooked pizza. I asked for it to be remade but I think they just microwaved it

I remember when this place was called L'Unico and it was underwhelming in all aspects. Fast forward several years and it's successor has made big improvements. We had a large group and everyone was happy with the meals and attention from the wait staff. The decor is brighter and the vibe is way more upbeat. On a road where some excellent dumpling restaurants could distract you, this is worth your while for pub food.

Have been to this Hotel for a meal several times and the food has always been quite good - except for today.
I ordered the Cold Beef and Mango Salad from the specials board. The board said that in addition to the beef and mango it had coriander, mint and fennel. I love all these ingredients and was looking forward to enjoying the dish. However the dish contained NIL coriander, NIL fennel and ONE solitary piece of mint half the size of my pinky fingernail.
The waitress passed on my observation to the chef and he was adamant that there was indeed plenty of coriander, mint and fennel in my dish. I grow my own coriander and I know what it tastes like. I also know what mint and fennel taste like. So one of us was wrong - and it wasn't me. The chef should have just owned up to the omissions and rectified it. Very, very disappointed.

Could not recommend The Clayton Hotel more to host your next event ! Everything from the coordinators / staff / venue / food / service was absolutely perfect & exceeded expectations. The staff were beyond accommodating and addressed every need to ensure my event was seamless and stress free ! My guests still can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the food tasted ! Special shout out to Dinushi, Allison, Michaella and Frank for making my Baby Shower as amazing as it was ! Thank you and I look forward to hosting my next event with you

Came here with my group of friends to watch the footy. We normally go to Forest Hill, decide to give this place a go because it’s next to my work.
Customer service from Leanne was amazing.
Atmosphere was great for Friday night , no long wait time for food to arrive compared to other places.
Crispy Salmon was beautifully cooked.
My first time at this venue.
I’ll be back.

$20 steak night on Wednesdays - great price so decided to give it a go.
The steak was a bit too chewy for medium rare and the portions of chips/salad were quite small. The price was still okay for the value, but I would’ve rather paid a few extra dollars and had better steak/more sides.
The customer service was a bit out of the ordinary, we couldn’t order from our table and we had to get up and go to the counter and pay before we received our food. Didn’t expect it as most other bistros/pubs let you eat then pay.
Thank you
