The Royal Hotel Mornington

I have been going to The Royal for years. It's a nice place with old-fashioned good food and service. The staff are always pleasant and the ambiance is warm and friendly. Highly recommended !!

The Royal has always been a family favourite for us. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service is alway excellent and the food is fantastic. Probably a little expensive for the serving sizes but the flavours are amazing.

Quality of food very poor for $200 plus for 4. Calamari floury, prawns in linguini over cooked. $40 steak was appalling for price. It is an amazing venue with great service team but it seems somewhere corners are cut either on staffing or quality of food. The venue is wonderful and the service team always try their best but the food has now been way below par too many times. Just not good enough. Can go to lots of other Mornington or mt Martha restaurants for less and have much better food and the same service.

We live locally and this hotel has been a favourite. It has experienced changes in management and style, not all positive, but now we like it again. Stylish decor, small but excellent menu and one of Mornington’s best example of 19th century architectural grandeur.

Food atmosphere and view have always been the highlight at the Royal ????

Had to order from the bar, rather than full waiter/waitress service and the kitchen is only open until 8.30pm, but otherwise food was fantastic and the views from the veranda are beautiful, especially at sun set.

Great food great views!

We have dined at the Royal often and always enjoyed it....staff are great ???? and food is delicious. There are a variety of dining options.....formal or casual, indoors or outside. We had lunch in the main dining room then coffee and dessert in front of the open fire at the Bar .....perfect!

The Royal’s size and quality of their meals have gone downhill. Won’t be returning which is unfortunate because it used to be one of my favourite spots in Mornington

Good food, reasonable drink selection, appropriate round table for large group, service was fine but far too noisy. With 8 at our table it was hard to talk over the loud background music

The food is always good at the Royal. A dependable favourite. Quick service, maybe too quick sometimes but always excellent food. Staff are always friendly.

Poor Bar service, Poor table service, Poor value for money. I invited good friends and felt very ashamed of my choice

My thoughts were it was a bit overpriced for the meals an not much variety on the menu .. but stil enjoy The food

We will be back

Enjoyable lunch at nice venue, bit of confusion re ordering meal at different registers once that sorted all good! I feel that this Restuarant would be much better with table service instead of queing to put your orders in, food very tasty, just seems to be lacking in the service area.

Enjoyable lunch

Staff were helpful and friendly. We six could find no fault with anything. As we all want to pay separately we are pleased with the system of ordering and paying at the bar.

Very enjoyable

Service was very ordinary. Food was well cooked however quite overpriced for a pub meal

Lovely atmosphere but food average
