Generations Bar & Grill

we booked it the venue then when we come there the front desk says that we are not in the system. But anyway ,its okay because the venue is not so busy so I accept it no worries, We are five people but the waiter never gives us straight away the cutlery since our food is ready. we have less cutlery instead of five. It only four on the table plus we ask for the glass. uhh bloody hill the glass coming half an hour but the water in the pitcher is on the table already, how come He gave us water but no glass? the heater is broken and it's cold. the salmon with asparagus and kayle vegetable sooooooo salty!!!! I just only eat because i was hungry come from Geelong all the way to drive in Port Melbourne to try this venue..If it was not for my niece that she wants to have a driving lesson to come down to Melbourne i wouldnt come to this Resaurant anyway.,

The table was covered in dust when we arrived and we had to ask to get it cleaned. The service was slow, several staff seemed very inexperienced and there was a really long wait time for the food even though the restaurant was barely half full. Some of the dishes were missing components that were listed on the menu (the Aussie parma was supposed to have an egg on it, and the cauliflower 'steak' was actually small florets and was supposed to come with toast). Overall standard of burgers and parmas was good.

Attended breakfast seated quickly, sat outside which was nice. Waitress served us took our order waited within normal time food looked average presentation pretty much was disappointing. No butter on toast dry and hard, bacon flavourless no rashers with fat which takes away the flavour and was dry, hash browns seemed from freezer deep fried in old oil that taste like fish was cooked in it. For the price was very disappointed..

Been here before as it was wonderful food and staff were great but today was a real disappointment. They had run out of certain food and also drinks and waited a long time for service even though it wasn’t busy. Food bought out to us was missing ingredients etc. Entertainment by Gary Eastwood was great though

I waited 55 min with a drink of water for my first drink. It never arrived. At 56 mins my table (4 if us), complained. The manager said she would be with me In 5 mins. At 1hr & 10 mins when noise. Came to assist us and the waitress who served us, avoided our table repeatedly, we walked out & went 2 doors down the road. They reopened their kitchen for us. We spent $600. U will never visit Generations again nor recommend it to anyone. It’s a shame because the real estate is a prime location.

Whilst we understand it was the Easter Long weekend, we were disappointed with the staff service and food quality. We had to ask for cutlery many times, the wine was warm and beer was hot. The entrees and mains were served at the same time. We ordered two steaks (of four meals) which we had to return the kitchen as they were dry and inedible. It took a long time to serve the new steaks and the other guests had finished their meal but the time they arrived. The staff were inexperienced, dismissive and blamed restaurant being busy but there were only 5 other tables (approx. 15 other guests). The bill was inaccurate and we were charged for other items. We understand it is under new management but there needs to be much improvement in customer service.

Place was understaffed and only 2 waiters were friendly but stressed. Place looked a bit neglected and food was average and not worth the 75min wait.

Brilliant service and very nice food.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food, large serves, and very reasonable prices. Great position looking out over the Bay and quiet ambiance.

Parma's were huge and very tasty. Restaurant was very quiet. Really feel for these larger establishments, there are so many to choose from and not many people are venturing out.

Lovely location with views of Beacon Cove and the Bay. The restaurant is very modern and has windows that open up to allow the sea breezes through. We had a very nice shared platter of calamari, arancini, nachos and chicken wings and refreshing mojitos. There was a very talented girl singing and playing her guitar (Nat Allison) which made our leisurely lunch even more special. The restaurant appeared to be training new staff but the service was good nonetheless.

Soft shell crab salad and sweet potato chips were delicious. The only problem was that the foods were slow to serve.

A beautiful night , great place, great staff and lovely food. Thank you guys, everything was perfect. We will definitely be back soon. And thanks for firing up the heaters as it got a little fresh on the waterfront. It made everything that little bit more extra special.

This is our second visit to this restaurant and the service is far better than our first visit. Foods are as good as the first visit. Beef ribs and pulled beef nachos are the highlight. Salmon & vegetables are quite nice too. Foods including entrees are quite big servings. Highly recommend this restaurant to others.

Service a bit slow, food amazing

Had a lovely time catching up with family. Service was great. Food amazing!! Definitely will be going back there. Gorgeous view too :-) and we were lucky also to have amazing weather.

Nice venue right by the water, food was okay but nothing out of this world.

Personally I feel like I should have known better!! When a venue offers discounts on food it should have been questioned, after a long day out at the zoo with kids in tow we opted to catch up with some local family members and descended on this venue for the first time. Must I say the whole lot lacked any excitement. Menus are not current for product you request, items which are simple up sells to any business with good GP are completely out between both owned venues as stated, wait staff as inexperienced as they’d come. Food was boring and simply lacked any flavour, thought or flare. There was a common theme with this venue everything was over cooked rare steak came out literally medium to well, Parma overdone, chips over done and just simply a waste of our time and money.

Gorgeous spot on the waterfront. Friendly service. Food was fantastic, especially the seafood dishes.

Six of us meet regularly and are quite fussy. We found the service excellent. Lovely, friendly waitress. The food was well presented, plentiful and very tasty. The sea breeze was welcomed. An enjoyable experience.
