    Food was good as always,the tasting menu well priced but the music was too loud and not well suited to eating and talking.I go to restaurants to eat good food and converse,not feel like I have strayed into a disco!

    * A lovely restaurant in downtown Merimbula, with beautiful views out over the lake & foreshore. * Very attractive decor & furniture * Great staff & very efficient, friendly service * Unusual menu offers, very worth exploring. * The only minus is access - up a very steep flight of stairs, which would preclude many people with physical disability, from accessing the wonders of this facility.......... NB: Bega Valley Shire Council have a great Access & Inclusion Advisory Committee which could be worth contact for any advice which may be required ???

    The food and service is absolutely amazing. Can't wait to go there again. My partner and I honestly believe it's the best food we've experienced. The anchovy crostini blew my mind. It was a delicate looking starter with the classic fish and chip taste, all in one mouthful. My FAVOURITE. Service was above and beyond. Plus the feel of the space and that view, hard to beat. Thank you for having us. Val's is certainly a venue to not miss out on!!

    Went for date night with wife. Great. Flavours slightly confused and heavy but that might be what we ordered.

    The food & service at Valentina’s was exceptional, and views over the lake added to our overall enjoyment. I especially enjoyed the artichoke & the cod’s roe appetisers & the blue eye fish main courseThe crispy potatoes were to die for!

    Great for a special occasion and couples or small groups. It’s upstairs entry so consider this for mobility needs. Awesome view. I wouldn’t suggest young families, go to the local clubs instead.
