Interesting meal @ this venue
Very limited menu but what was ordered by our group was most enjoyable. #For something completely different in a dining experience try Merewether Golf Club's Bistro.

The pro's can smash those drivers! Dodt drove to the mound 30m from 1st off the back tees! And the pro from Ryde Parramatta bounced on the cart path past the mound on the 1st and ended up 20m past the 1st green on the 2nd fairway!

Went to the golf club for dinner and it was so delicious. It was excellent. I had the carbonara and my friend had the roasted vegetable salad which looked amazing and she said it was the best she's ever had. Our friend has chicken schnitzel and salad, chips and he said the chips were the best he's ever had well cooked golden brown and crunchy. The schnitzel was golden brown and very moist and render. The portion size was very generous and we left very full
Top marks to the chef and all the staff very friendly
