   Well if I went for dinner as my booking I might review however when we arrived after a drive from Melbourne it was closed , like a ghost town .. we we never informed in fact our reservation was confirmed several times to even the last minute on arrival .. by this platform . Finding another dinner venue wasn’t easy and we see pretty pD off to be honest

   I had a great meal at the Westerport. The staff were really accommodating and adjusted my meal to suit my allergy, which I appreciated. It had been a year since my last visit, but the owner still remembered my name—a nice, personal touch that stood out. It’s little things like that that make me want to come back.

   We had a reservation and ordered drinks and meals, and while the staff were friendly, this visit was disappointing. Our meals were only average at best, but the real issue was the heat inside the bistro. Despite the 26-degree temperature outside, the inside was uncomfortably hot—easily over 30 degrees. It made dining there unbearable, and we had to leave most of our meals behind. I spoke to a waitress, who apologized, but there was no sign of further action or involvement from management. As we left, we overheard others commenting on the stifling heat, which indicates that this was a widespread concern. We won’t be returning anytime soon, especially on hot days. It would be beneficial for the management to address the temperature issue to improve the overall experience.

   Westernport is consistently really good for food, ambience and value. This time however, the staff were exceptional…including the free song from the barman!

   The white hair lady is as rude as her usual, which is same as the last two time I dined here. She thinks she acts friendly but can’t hide the fact that she’s a racist and she gives customers pressure during ordering. The customers can feel if it’s true friendly or fake, and customers don’t have to dine here. The serve portions are no longer generous. After we’ve given 3 chances we won’t come back here anymore.

    It's been many years since I dined at the Westernport it will now be on my list of places to dine. Service was prompt, staff engaging and meal composition pleasantly different from the typical pub fare. I highly recommend Westernport Hotel as a venue to dine.
