Overall Experience
The Ettalong Bowling Club receives mixed reviews from customers, with some praising the friendly staff and good value food, while others express disappointment with the bistro's poor service and subpar food quality.
Food Quality
The bistro's food quality is a major concern, with several reviewers mentioning that their meals were below standard in terms of flavor and doneness. Specifically, the schnitzels, steaks, and ribs were disappointing, and some dishes were even suspected to be pre-cooked rather than made to order.
Service
While some staff members, such as those at the front desk and TAB bar, are described as lovely and welcoming, others, particularly in the bistro, are accused of providing poor service, ignoring customers, and even being rude.
Highlights
On a more positive note, the Alfresco Brasserie is praised for its nice atmosphere, comfortable seating, and consistently enjoyable food. The coffee shop and Harry's Chinese Restaurant are also commended for their friendly service, good value, and excellent food quality.
Warning
Some reviewers warn against visiting the club due to the subpar food quality and poor service in the bistro.
