Honestly, this really isn't one of the best pubs that I have encountered in Portland.

The service was okay, and it was comfortable, but there was a decided lack of atmosphere. Oh, the beer selection was somewhat limited as well, particularly beers on tap, but in the end, it really wasn't my scene.

Indoor and outdoor seating for the bar and an excellent pizza menu- we accidentally went on 2-for-1 night, bargain!! Great pizza and good sized side salads to balance it out.

The back Garden is also lovely in the evening with elegant lights strung overhead. I felt a deep sense of peace in this place. Would totally 100% recommend it to anyone, whether you drink or not. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you Dart and Marlin! P.S. The Bar staff were absolutely lovely, kind and attentive. Many thanks to them.

Well, I won't argue with them on that one, since I'm certainly not an expert on the matter. Anyway, I do have to say that I liked it, even though the beer selection really wasn't particularly great. Well, it was decent enough, and the pub certainly did have a rather nice atmosphere, though it probably does have something to do with the nature of the crowds that tend to flock here. Another thing was that it did have a pretty cool beer garden, so I'll certainly be giving it points for that as well. Yeah, pretty cool pub.

There are a lot of trendy places in town that charge about twice what you will pay here. The food is generous and the flavor is still there. Add to this the bread, veggies and potato bar area and you have a great meal at a decent price. We had a chicken plate and a Guinness beef stew dish. Both were way too much food but we ate them since they were so good. Drinks were normal price. It could get noisy in there but it wasn't the night we were there. Music was playing over the speakers.

The service was also pretty good, and which it didn't seem as popular, it still did have a bit of charm about it. In fact it did feel like one of those places that would be quite nice to visit again if I was in the area.

It's worth coming here just to have a coffee and watch the sea. The menu is your typical brunch fare and while it isn't a place that you'll be wowed by the food, it is very solid given that you're in a regional town. The pancakes with macadamia nuts was a definite winner and kept me full for the long drive back to Melbourne. Service was prompt and friendly---note you pay at the counter here.

The staff was attentive and even got us drinks at the bar while they were setting our table. The entrees were mid priced but decent portions. The American Ribeye was good, the bbq bourbon rub added great flavor with a hint of spice. The mac and cheese was just ok. We also ordered the surf and turf which had a yummy garlic sauce with really tender prawns on top. The lamb was also good served with beet chutney and vegetables. It was well cooked with garlic stuffing served inside.

I was staying at the Best Western that Clovelly is attached to and was pleasantly surprised to find that Clovelly is rated one of the top restaurants in Warrnambool. After walking into the city from the hotel to find dinner and checking various websites, we walked back to Clovelly to give it a shot. The dips with Turkish breads was delicious and worth getting as an appetizer. The smaller sized quartet of seafood comes with 2 of each item, perfect for sharing for two people. Each type of seafood was well cooked and comes with paired sauce. We also got the spaghetti and meatball daily special to finish things off. The noodles were cooked al dente and the sauce was good but a little watered down, I'm assuming because the noodles weren't drained all the way. Service was nice and attentive and there was live music from what looked like a neighborhood band. Good experience overall.
