   What a great place to eat. The staff and food are absolutely amazing. If we come to NSW we will definitely stay at the same place and eat at the restaurant. We have booked i for lunch today as well 👏👏👏

   A local hotel in Curtin offering delicious pub grub. Having undergone renovations, the Statesman offers a lovely ambience for a quiet drink with friends, or watching footy while having a beer in the sports bar or a family dinner in the policy dining room. I recently had dinner with family in the dining room and it was busy so I recommend to book a table. The food was plentiful & delicious. The service was friendly & efficient. A call out to the manageress who walked the floor checking in on the patrons & taking the time to talk to people - a lovely touch.

   Amazing lunch, beautiful setting. We utilised the lounge after lunch to sit and chat in front of the fire - very nice! Highly recommend policy for family and get togethers as numbers are not an issue- well done

   The new renovations at The Statesman are very nicely done. The meals were top rate, very nicely cooked and presented. All staff were attentive and friendly. Top venue so close to home.

   My Bannockburn chicken itself was good, but the sauce was so vinegary it was hard to eat - bit disappointing really. Wife's Lamb shank was good, though could have done with a few more veggies.

   This time my fish was burnt black at one end, so overcooked but still edible. Otherwise, everyone enjoyed their meals and the opportunity to catch up.

    Five of us dined. The venue is modern and open. We were welcomed warmly and service was prompt and friendly. Meals were served quickly, and we all enjoyed our meals which are of a high standard. Will go there again.

    Good food & service, just think some greens on the plate or extend your extras list to incorporate some. Maybe some fried onions. Yum!

    What a complete delight! The reno is amazing, hard to recognise the old place. Loved the period features and political references. Witty and charming all at once. Loved the lounge - we'll be back!

    Five of us went to the Statesman for dinner last night. The standard of food varied greatly. We shared two serves of the spicy chicken nibbles as an entree. The dipping sauce was lovely however there was no spice whatsoever to the chicken. For the main courses the chicken snitty got the thumbs up. The serve was generous and the chips were crunchy. The vegetable curry was delicious- served with rice and a papadum. The gnocchi was very disappointing. It swam in a lemon flavoured yoghurt dressing and was almost inedible as the lemon just over powered any other flavours. Two of the group had pie and chips for their main course. The pie was tasty but did not have a lot of meat in it. Would we return for dinner - maybe In 6 months when hopefully there is more consistency in the meals produced.

    Food was a little disappointing. The venue has been refurbished and looks good however we probably won’t go back for a meal.

    Enjoyable family get together. One had pie- enjoyed. One had fish and chips - good, hot, crisp chips. Three of us shared Charcuterie board, scallops, bread and dips and prawn cutlets. Prawns particularly good. Cheese on board fairly tasteless, would prefer a sharp cheddar. Service from Tanya was excellent. We'll be back.

    Love the new refurb. The food was terrific and the service was attentive. The only criticism I have is that the wines were overpriced.

    Very noisy even though not really crowded. The food order was not recorded properly, so not all of it came out and the missing meals had to be re- ordered. The food quality was very good, as was the table service.

    The dining area looks great and our table for 11 was well-situated. Thanks to the manager who brought a wine taste to my table 90 seconds after the bar staff had twice refused me one. (I had explained I wanted to buy a $36 bottle of white but wasn't familiar with the wine, so wanted a taste. I'm glad I got one because the wine was awful.) My fish and chips - no salad at all (unusual in my experience), a very dark batter which was also VERY oily; thankfully the ling itself was still nice. The price of wine - crazy expensive by the bottle. Most of us at the table are wine drinkers but only 1 glass was purchased. In summary, vrrh nice venue and a good vibe (it was Trivia night) but I wouldn't return as wine too expensive and I did NOT get good value for my very plain $25 meal.

    Clean and nice with good service from staff. Understanding of special diets needs to be improved as I found it awkward to ensure I ordered the right food. We did get there in the end.. I recommend this venue for a very pleasant meal out with the whole family. I suggest that the venue buy more high chairs. It’s a family are and venue and a limit of high chairs.

    Great service. The steak ended up being expensive as it was unaccompanied. Would definitely return.

    We enjoyed our meal. Not as much choice in food as the ‘old’ dining room : perhaps some specials when the new restaurant settles in. Staff welcoming and table service good.
