    Though the food was delicious, and the mansion and garden setting beautiful, the cost is too steep as the service is amateur and the food (though good) not mind blowing.

    Upon attending the entrees, I found no spoons for the dips, no knifes for the cheese. Later I thought there would have been either cream, ice cream or custard for the pudding. Maybe a Pav would have been well received. The menu mentioned Yorkshire puddings but they were not to be seen. Also I saw on several occasions there were no plates around the hot food table for extras or seconds. I noticed a few people complaining about this problem. No spoons for desserts. I think the most important thing and all our table agreed was every thing should have been labeled.

    Dear Helena, Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our service and offerings. We apologize for the oversight with the utensils and the missing items like the Yorkshire puddings and the dessert spoons. We also understand how important it is to have everything clearly labeled, and we'll make sure to address that in future events to improve the experience.

    Food was extremely disappointing. Risotto hardly had any mushrooms, steak was char grilled. Waited 40min between starter ending and main. Yet there were only 3 tables of few guests. Sent our steak back, and was still charged for it
    Joseph's RestaurantResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Bianca, Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. We apologize for the issues with the risotto, steak, and the wait time.

    We went to Joseph’s Restaurant in the Lancemore Hotel Werribee to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and my husband‘s 40th birthday. We chose this venue for its location, beauty and uniqueness. It is situated within Werribee Park amongst the state Rose garden, Werribee Mantion, racecourse and Werribee Zoo. The restaurant is housed within a 1800s style mansion building, it’ features different sections to accommodate groups. When we booked we requested for a semi private area and we were most grateful to be accommodated in our own section, comfortably seating our 20 guests, 11 adults, 5 school-age children and 4 toddlers. We were able to have our speeches, prayer time and talk in private without disruption by others, and we appreciate that very much. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, helping to set up our balloons and also providing the 4 requested high chairs for our young ones. Our young ones were able to run freely, the staff were not at all bothered by them and they appreciated having children in the building. Also, as requested, we were given a space to have our celebration cake and we were able to have helium balloons in the space. The food was amazing, our favorite was the pork belly entrée and the chocolate mousse dessert. We can’t thank the staff enough for being so accommodating, fulfilling all our requests and making the night so special. We highly recommend Joseph’s Restaurant for any groups and any celebrations. Thank you very much to the staff, especially Victor, who looked after our group.

    The service was absolutely terrible. I ordered a cocktail mojito ($25) they served it with no mint or lime !! Because they had run out !! Drink service was awful Staff had no idea what they were doing, even with basic drinks …. Gin and tonic I was given a bramble Gin instead of Bombay gin. Good wise My starter of pork belly was great, steak was ok, and they forgot my desert ….. had to ask twice. Overall given the set menu of three courses was $105 It was terrible value for money and the whole experience was such a let down. I stayed at the hotel and had booked dinner for a special occasion. I wouldn’t recommend this place to any friends or family Overall such a below standard experience

    Extremely disappointed in the quality of the food and service, i would expect fresh food made on the premises when paying $99 per head For high tea. Outrageously overpriced for what we received. Sandwiches were dry, scones were dry, and hot food was bought in as were the cakes. The room was hot and we had to ask for the air conditioner to be turned up. It was my husband’s birthday and our table of 5 all left disappointed. Would NOT recommend. Waste of $495.00 😏
