Beau Rivage at Gloucester Park

Oysters, more oysters and a bottle of bubbly The social club organised a night out at the Trots last Friday and if it hadn't been a heavily subsidised meal, I might think twice about dining here. The buffet is quite basic for $69 per head when you compare it to the Atrium at the casino. $30 drinks package for free flow of limited alcoholic range for 5 hours is good value. Alcohol included Oxford Landing wine, Angus Brut Sparkling, bottle beer and cider, Hahn Super Dry & Hahn Super Dry 3.5 on tap & soft drinks Maybe it helps to reduce the sting on the cost of the buffet. Highlights of buffet: oysters! Get in early and avoid them after 8.30pm as warm room temperature oysters is not good for your health. Deep fried whole fish - succulent tender flesh, yum. Roast pork and crackle - no explanation required lol. Sweet and sour pork was surprisingly good. Prawns were apparently fresh. Cheese selection looked okay. Service was efficient considering how many diners are packed into the restaurant. Not so good: desserts are a non-event and not worth the extra calories. Overcooked vegetables and soggy salads. Although the buffet is meant to go to 10pm, they ran out of most of the desserts by 8.30pm. If you're a regular punter at the trots, it's a good night out. If you're part of a social club, it's an awesome night especially with free flow of alcohol. You get my drift...

15th Jan. 2016 Positives, food (especially the fresh Oysters). Fire-works were excellent  Negatives, air conditioning turned off in restaurant 30 minutes prior to fire works. Escalators for the 3 floors were turned off prior to us leaving the restaurant. Premium Drinks package over-priced considering the Vasse Felix red and white wines were not included despite being only $4 dearer than the others???? Also had to speak to manager to get premium beer as was initially advised that Little Creatures pale ale was not included in premium package despite being the same price as Corona which was included. Manager included the beer after being approached.

I went to the re-launch of the Beau Rivage at Gloucester Park recently - The Buffet food was top notch, Succulent Roasts, sumptuous salads and the seafood selection was vast and fresh. Shout-outs to the NZ Oysters, those bad-boys started the night off well! The service was good and the all inclusive drinks package was definitely worth the extra few bob. We had a great seat to take in all the Harness Racing action, If you're thinking of booking, I'd ask for a window table if they're still available :)

World-class Harness Racing venue, Grade A Entertainment AND the best way to kick-start a Friday night in town! Lots of options for all comers - The Beau
