We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Grill.
We had both breakfast and dinner, both of which were delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked, rare as requested. As well as the Salmon which was medium rare. The wine selection to go with the dinner was quite good, as it matched with both the beef and the salmon. We also had Calamari and a prawn cocktail which had a very good thousand island sauce, I only wish that there had been more!
I noticed in other reviews that people had food take a long time to come out. We had dinner on a Friday night at 7pm and had no issues.
For the most part, the staff were friendly and attentative(one of the staff seemed new).
The decor was very nice. The utensils and wine glasses were impeccably clean.
I would definitely recommend going there and look forward to going again.
An exceptional and amazing place. Absolutely loved their dinner menu, food was outstanding, received a complimentary bottle of wine and staff and service was just excellent! They also make breakfast fit for champions!!! Pure elegance in it's finest form and will definitely be visiting again soon!

Having had an exquisite meal at this restaurant in July, I was really looking forward to eating here again on New Year's Eve. I ordered the fish of the day with baby potatoes and quinelle of scallop... my partner ordered the pork. I was extremely disappointed when my meal arrived. The fish was dry, the potatoes were enormous, dry and not peeled properly, and there was no quinelle of scallop. A very bland sauce accompanied this meal but had little or no seasoning in it. The staff sought an explanation from the chef as to the potatoes ... apparently a different delivery from their supplier ... fair enough had they been cooked in an appetising manner ... also the 'quinelle of scallop' was hunted down and placed in front of me ... two small circular rubbery moderately fishy tasting items the size of a 10 cent piece. My partner enjoyed his meal more although the pork too, was very dry. The staff were apologetic and we did get a small discount on the meal. I was told the head chef was on holiday and that the feedback would be passed on. There was a table of four adults adjacent to where we were sitting, who, on their departure commented to me that their meals were terrible also....a shame they did not give this feedback to the restaurant staff. It is such a shame that the calibre of food here has taken such a catastrophic dive as 6 months ago the food was devine... and at $36-$42 a main, one would expect only good quality food be allowed out of the kitchen
19.4.13 Have just had a superb dining experience back at the Solway Grill!! Thank you Jerry and your attentive staff for giving us a complimentary dinner for two in reparation for the below par dinner we had on New Year's Eve. The whole meal was absolutely delicious ... and the service was excellent. Much appreciated and we will definitely be back. :-)
We were not staying in house but dined at the grill on Friday the 8/6/2012. The wait staff were great, as they had a large dinner party entering the dining room at the time we arrived they offered to seat us or to have a drink in the bar until the larger party had ordered, we chose the bar option and did not regret it. We relaxed over a couple of drinks while the staff were still attentive to our needs, regularly checking with us as to whether we were ready to go through or not, we ended up ordering and eating our breads and dips in the lounge and the waitress also took our orders for our mains while we were still in the lounge bar. We were shown to our table a few minutes before our meals arrived, which were sublime. I had the lamb which was absolutely gorgeous and the other three in the party all had the 500g steak that they all really enjoyed.
The food was lovely and the staff couldn't have been any more friendly or accommodating. Well done, keep it up.

We had booked to stay at the Solway (pre return of the child from school holidays trip) and had decided beforehand that we would eat at the resident restaurant.
Solway has changed a lot since the last time I was there, its been ungraded considerably, which is great because it was a dive previously.
Upon checking in we were told to book as they get very busy, only to arrive at the restaurant that evening to find 2 other couples. Hardly brimming to capacity, but based on our earlier experience of the Cafe Solway I wasn't going to argue with them.
We both had the seafood chowder for an entree, and I was impressed. Its has quite a few chunky its of seafood including discovering a whole scallop - which was a pleasant surprise.
After being told there was no salmon or lamb, it left few options on the menu, so surprisingly I opted for steak. I prefer my steak pink but not bleeding, but often find its quite often done wrong. The sirloin at The Grill is a nice big piece of steak, but was way overdone. Probably my fault because I asked for well done. But it wasnt just well done, but overdone to the point of being dry. But I do accept my part in that.
Other groups and couples came in to dine as we sat and ate. The thing we noticed was that despite the size of the restaurant, which is relatively big, we were all being seated in the same area and relatively close together. Good for the staff I suppose to manage patrons, but it makes it hard to talk about evryone else when you're sitting so close to them.
Overall, I didnt think it was bad. Bonus points for the chowder! Staff were friendly, courteous and quick to help out if needed.
We had the Lamb Rack and Chicken Supreme both were so tasty just pricey. Otherwise the staff were amazing, very attentive.
Enjoyed an evening here for the Fleetwood Mac Experience recently. A cosy and fun evening. Band was awesome. Solway Park staff provided great bar service.
Steak was beautifully cooked. Came with creamy mash, garlic butter and fresh veggies. Absolutely yum! Well done Chef! Friend had the Salmon which also received raving reviews.
Food was good. Service friendly. Would have liked to have more soft drinks and milkshakes on the menu
Nice dinner. Not many veggie options. Wine list is extensive. Not busy on Friday early evening. Staff are friendly and helpful

High Tea at The Grill was very good. Plenty of variety savouries, sandwiches, scones and sweet treats. We had the bubbles as well. Tea was a little cold and weak but the rest was good. Shame there was only us there as it is certainly something different for a change
Our Christmas lunch was absolutely appalling and we said we would never return. However, we had had 4 good HiTeas last year, so ventured back and we were more than satisfied. The food was great and the service excellent. Caitlin? our server was delightful and nothing was too much trouble. We sent our compliments to the chef.
Have just tried to make a booking for a large group of ladies for upcoming Mother's Day, and they have put the price of their High Tea up BY $8.50 😱😱😱😱To $32.....the price of a steak meal. AND they have reduced the contents. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮Greed has been their downfall. We are all going elsewhere.
So nice to go to a restaurant rather than cafe/ bistro. Really enjoyed the restaurant feel and some great food. Salmon was full of flavour,, succulent and cooked to perfection. Thanks to Kesha, our designated waitress, Service added to the experience, attentive, polite and friendly yet not in your face, A great dinner and evening had by all.
Just a bit disappointed this time around. The menu has been reduced quite significantly and the portion sizes have followed suit, but not by quite so much. The food was still good, and the atmosphere is still congusive to a relaxed and enjoyable meal with friends where one can talk quietly and be easily heard, but...
Delicious cocktails, super attentive and friendly waitstaff! Shared the aranchini, pork belly and the yummy soba noodle salad - we loved every bite! The chefs were working hard for a super busy seating and they did an amazing job. We shared the Pannacotta for dessert and it disappeared so quickly, we were amaze. All in all an amazing night :-)
Never been before . Had a lovely meal. No complaints what so ever service was abit on the slow side but suited us as we were not in a rush
Super yummy meals! We had the scotch fillet and lamb rack. Both extremely tasty and worth the price. Service was very friendly. Our waitress Keisha was nice and knew her stuff!
Just had lunch here and am blown away by the food and service we received! The food was delicious and fresh! The staff were friendly and cheerful. Thanks so much for a great feed! We will be back for sure!
