    The food was excellent, service attentive, and the pricing very reasonable—no complaints there. However, the overall experience was significantly diminished by the sheer number of unsupervised, screaming children running around the venue. And when I say screaming, I mean nonstop, echoing shrieks that made conversation nearly impossible. It was disappointing to see parents so disengaged while their children turned the restaurant into a playground, and even more surprising that staff didn’t step in to maintain a more comfortable environment for other patrons. If you're hoping for a relaxed dining experience, I’d strongly recommend avoiding the early evening hours—perhaps dine after 7:30pm to steer clear of the chaos. I fully understand that children make noise, but what we witnessed bordered on neglectful parenting. Even my 12-year-old commented on how out of control it was, and ultimately, we left because it was simply unbearable.

    We have not been to Watsonia RSL for over two months, sadly we were disappointed with the food and service. The service was slow and may explain why my meal was overcooked and dry. This venue used to be consistently good value with tasty well presented food , served promptly with a smile.

    * Great food * Great range of food * Service is always outstanding * Sadly, the venue needs an entire facelift - Chairs are 80 years old and are very uncomfortable - Tables belong in a furniture museum - Carpets, I think they were brought over with Captain Cook Seriously, renew everything and get out of the '60s and '70s

    We enjoyed our lunch at Watsonia RSL. There were very few people there so the noise level was low. The food that we chose was delicious. Very generous serves. Service generally was very good. There were times however when the young staff members did not 'scan'....to clear our table or to respond when politely summoned. The bread order was possibly forgotten. We would definitely go again.
