To be fair it was a very, in fact extremely hot day and so my wife suggested the Mona Vale Hotel as a venue for a cold drink and a quick lunch. We had been here on previous occassions and had an enjoyable experience.To begin with the aircon wasn't working and the ceiling fans did little to stifle the heat. The place has either just been sold or new owners just taken over, as the decor and surrounds look in dire need of a refurb. The staff too could have been smarter and more customer service aware. In a time when good pub food is a drawcard for both groups and families as an alternative to smaller restaurants.The steak I ordered ( blue) was both tough and chewy but the vegetables were crisp...
We went to the Mona Vale Hotel for lunch. The staff were friendly. We ordered a beer and then looked at the lunch menu. It was quite extensive but then we noticed they had a Seniors menu. There were about 6 or 7 dishes on the menu. My husband ordered the Sirloin steak with chips and salad while I decided to have the Chicken Caesar Salad.We decided to sit outside which was nice but a little dated. The food arrived quite quickly, mine was great and my husband's steak was cooked medium rare which was the way he ordered it but it was rather tough. Otherwise it was quite a nice lunch experience.
Perhaps our impromptu visit caught them all off guard. The Pretzel was small, the prawn on the Surf and Turf was an inch in size and there was nobody around to ask me how my stake was. It was chewy, under cooked (I ordered medium rare), and a scanty drizzle of Bernaise sauce hardly satisfied my palate. Definitely in need of more staff.
As a 22 year old from the Northern Beaches, I have a love-hate relationship with the Mona Vale Hotel - the love is residual, from when I was 18 years old.
