I recently went to dinner with family at the restaurant in the queanbeyan Roos club and I have to say I was quite disappointed with the food and overall experience. Let me begin with the positives - the serving sizes are very generous! All mains come with a choice of mash, chips or jacket potato and choice of vegetables or salad in addition to the meal. Now for the let downs. To begin with, the service is almost non existent. You have to go up to the counter to order your meal and you have to prepare your own table with cutlery and serviettes that are available at the counter. Anyway, looking through the menu they have a range of different meals. I found it difficult though to pick something as either they meal was ruined by being battered and deep fried as opposed to grilled or had cream in the sauces. Both those things I do not like to eat so that cut quite a few options out for me. I decided to go with the fillet Mignon (one of the more pricier mains) which was eye fillet of beef wrapped in bacon and served with a wild mushroom sauce. And i went with chips and vegetables. And the meat ordered to be cooked medium rare. Sounds delicious-yes! But it was not what I expected. I was expecting this tender melt in your mouth piece of eye fillet wrapped generously in grilled bacon, with a side of sautéed mushrooms with its reduced sauce, and the chips and vegetables. This was not the case!The meat was a decent size- however it had this tiny stingy strip of bacon on one of the sides which was basically all fat with tiny parts of it being the actual bacon. The wild mushroom sauce was loaded on top of the steak and on half the plate with maybe a total of 6 very small pieces of mushrooms. The sauce was thick and basically tasted like your basic gravy and the meat was under seasoned. Salt and pepper were on the table which I had to add over the whole meal. Now another positive would be that the meat was cooked to the medium rare stage to which I liked - although the outer bits were slightly over cooked. However being eye fillet and cooked almost perfectly, it was unfortunately very tough and chewy!The vegetables were just steamed green beans, corn and peas which were tasteless even with my addition of salt and pepper and the chips tasted like those frozen chips you buy at the supermarket and then fried. They also had little to no seasoning. So overall it was a very average meal for me. I am very critical when it comes to eating out as I know what good food is (I am a brilliant cook) and this just didn't make the cut for me. Would I order that meal again? No!And would I return back? Probably not!In addition other meals that my family ordered included the seafood basket which was very oily and greasy from it all being deep fried. It was a large serving again. The chicken parmigiana which was a very Aussie style chicken parmigiana not the authentic Italian one. The chicken Caesar salad which I tried some of the chicken breast in it. It was quite tasty - tasted like the usual Caesar salad taste and it was a very big serving. Also the pepper steak was ordered which looked similar to my meal with the sauce a gravy style sauce again but with pepper instead.
