Ibis Bar & Grill - ORANA

I have always wanted to give a truthfull review, for the sake of both sides of the picture. Last Friday we went for our usual buffet lunch, only to find out that the Lets do Lunch Club card was no longer in use.The buffet was absolutely terrible with a very poor variety of dishes, none of which looked very atractive, except the cups of chips. I do not know what has happened with the kitchen, after such good meals previously. We will not go back again as it certainly was not value for money.

Once again, I had not visited here for some time, but was very surprised at the layout of the restaurant, as it was very presentable and a very tasty lunch. We were very taken back by the wonderful way we were made welcome by the receptionist who deserves top marks for public relationship. Will definitely go back again.

Group of seven of us had a Sunday night dinner here on the last night of our Albany Holiday. Very impressed with the service and value. Staff were friendly and kept our drinks topped up. Buffet food had a good variety of hot and cold foods on offer. Steaks all round were cooked perfectly and with tasty sauces were enjoyed by all. Give it a try

My husband and myself paid $65.00 each for this. The pumpkin soup was OK but the soft rolls were not. Followed with prawns, small, unpeeled and SOFT - no finger bowls to rinse fingers so did not eat. The amount of food on buffet very limited and ordinary. Chicken dry, slabs of ham were tasteless, turkey floating in sauce had an aweful flavour, the roast verges undercooked, 3 salads of Greek, potato and beetroot all not appetising. The antipasto meats were dry and no cheese. Really, chips served at a Christmas Lunch and not even hot. The plate of food we took each was not eaten, this food really was just terrible! We tried desert, a mouse type thing with 1 half strawberry in it served in a small glass - again not nice.and left. Onto the small piece of Christmas pudding with custard, more like a dry cake. NO cream served with either sweet. We did let the Manager know our disappointment and asked him for perhaps a glass of complimentary wine which he agreed to with his apologies. Just the same the glass of wine and a bowl of soup cost us $130.00 - NOT HAPPY, the worst Christmas lunch EVER,

Very ordinary. Limited menu. Had chicken parmezana. Did not enjoy. Would not go there again. For food.
