Great service, all our meals ordered were beautiful! I had the Wagu burger and it was yummo!! Wonderful to see it so busy. Only downside was it was soooooo loud.

Always enjoy the quality and choice of food. Can’t fault the service.

Overall the experience was good, the meet and greet guy could have been more upbeat, but I realise it's hard wearing masks. The girls managed to be very friendly and upbeat though. Reno looks good. Needs to be cleaned more thoroughly especially the window ledge near the booths and the toilets otherwise Reno will age very quickly.

We order our meals served was too slow. Meals order it wasnt the right food that we wanted.
Staff were unfriendly
Question?
Why seating outside has to go to the bar and order ? While seating inside they get their meals order taken that is a stupid way. At the back is a bit far to go to the bar and order its not fair
My hubby ordered veal+ pork linguine later on meal arrived pork with roast potatoes and coleslaw
Dont even give us a complimentary drinks of their stupid service.
Never go back again.
Dont provide hag of drinks instead by glass which is over the price $4.00
Ginger beer $8.50
Way too much pricey.
Not 😊

Staff were really adaptable and kind! Let us change tables even though I booked outside and didn't realise it would be so cold (my bad). Thanks!

The place was far to noisy. The meals were soso for the price.

The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and my son really enjoyed his choices of beer. My wine was cold and satisfying. My only uncomfortable time (not your fault), was the hassle I had with the parking metres outside!

Food took an hour to come out after ordering.
I don't mind a place that's buzzing but this was just noisy. Dreadful acoustics. Had to shout at people sitting opposite me to be heard.
Ordered the Jerk Chicken. Was expecting something with a bit of a kick. Lame attempt although the Chicken was perfectly cooked. Probably give the place another try as I so wanted it to be great.

Great food, great drinks, cool atmosphere

Mains were good. A bit disappointed with deserts. Very small and not what you expect.
Service was friendly

Nice place to eat. Food was really good, servings on the smaller side. Good selections of beers to try also.

As a group of 10, we were sat at a perfect sized table. Waiters were attentive and the food was delicious! The menu has a range of items, from small plates (I had vegetable side and fritters) to full meals (my friend had the roast duck, and another had a parma). Tables were well spaced out, waiters all abided by COVID policies and we were able to easily split the payment at the end of the night.

Good service as usual. Food was well prepared, not pub food. Range of beverages was good. Noisy, but not overtly as it was a Saturday night

Some of our food items were not prepared as described on the menu. Slow cooked beef cheek was pink and tough. The half rotisserie Jamaican jerk chicken was plain roast chicken.

Really Nice place to chillout and drink quality beer and have food.
Loved the Korean popcorn chicken

Delicious food, service was great, the staff were lovely and helpful!

amazing wait staff, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and good for the price and the cocktails were outstanding! would highly recommend :)

This place was vibrant , energetic, wonderful vibe and the most delicious food . Every morsel was divine .
The acrostic were a tadge loud , so if looking for intimate dinner ask for a quiet spot . We were a group of six so didn’t bother us .
Round tables brilliant as inclusive of your guests
Staff assertive and not ball . Can’t fault it
My only suggestion was on the notes it asked if celebration etc . It was son’s 19th , would of been nice if this was recognised and offered him a complimentary drink

Food was very good, excellent service with a large range of beers and wines. Extensive menu with choices to suit all. Overall very good

Love this place. Very welcoming and food and drinks are top notch.

Fantastic and friendly service and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back!

Favourite place in Geelong currently to go to for a quality meal and beer. Good for a date or a large gathering.

Great service, friendly attentive helpful & knowledgeable staff.

Food is great unlike a pub but more like a restaurant

Fabulous venue, great service, great atmosphere, staff were so friendly, the chef even made up a dessert for my partner whose 30th it was which was wonderful. Loved it!

Great atmosphere, very quick service especially for drinks, delicious meal and beers. 10/10 recommend!

The venue is bright and modern, with friendly staff serving great food.

Food came out staggered so half the table had eaten while the other half was still waiting for 40 minutes. Meals weren’t bad when we got them and the space was lovely, just disappointing about the meals

Food was great, friendly staff,overall would go back again

We were celebrating a birthday and it was our first visit. Very impressed with the make over the Interiors are beautifully detailed and furnished.

The only problem we had is that is was a Saturday night and very busy and NOISY. We had trouble hearing each other due to the noise of the crowd. Some acoustic treatment might be a good investment.

Food was good and service also good.

Everyone at our table had a great looking meal, and positive reviews were made by all.
The room was quite loud, with all the hard surfaces, and a little acoustic treatment wouldn't go astray. Otherwise, the fitout is quite lovely and I'd be happy to return.

Very loud and impossible to have a conversation. Food was ordinary.

The food was incredible, drinks selection was superb, ambience was lovely! Great place for dinner! Not disappointed in anyway

Table service was very slow. Waited almost half an hour to be asked about drinks once all our party had arrived.
We were never approached again for second round of drinks, and had to ask for water for the table. Took a while for plates to be cleared. The servers themselves were friendly, but not attentive enough. Food was great.

Quality food, service a bit slow due to lack of waiters who were working very hard.
Noise level was high, probably because it was Saturday night.

Overall, I will be going back

Great food, good prices, fantastic service by staff and the atmosphere was so good.

Great modern pub and fantastic selection of beers on tap. Food was good but not amazing, room for improvement

They went above and beyond for us, had a few requests that they were more than happy to help with. Thanks guys

Had lunch here on Sunday with family, service from the staff was excellent, food was very quick to come to our table, great choices on the food & drinks menu, staff we're very quick to clear our table when finished & they we're very happy to split the bill!
1st time here & definitely will be back, highly recommend Malt Shovel

Friendly and helpful waitress. Enjoyed the food, great variety of drinks. Little bit pricey but overall good experience

Our waitress was the best we have ever had. She was so smiley and very accommodating.
