The Cheeky Squire - Frankston (VIC)

Paid $25 for a Lamb Greek Salad that was missing both the Fetta and the Pine Nuts. The lamb skewers were both entree sized half skewers and one wasn't full at that. So maybe enough lamb for one full sized skewer at most. Although the lamb was cooked well and tasted great I was starving after having essentially a side salad and a lamb skewer for my meal. Worse still my partner paid $42 for what was a thin slice of steak with a lot of sinew. Not a scotch fillet! I've eaten here many times before and it's never great but this one takes the cake. Yet go to Wheelers Hill James Squire and you get the biggest juiciest perfectly cooked eye fillet steak imaginable. So dissatisfied. Add all this to the system of ordering through QR code and you'd be forgiven for thinking there are no staff at the venue, except to dump and run when serving food. They were pleasant enough when I asked questions, but they looked like the life had been sucked out of them. Go for the beer or wines for sure, but I wouldn't recommend the food or garden dining, which is next to the road and smoking area. Added bonus if the smoker is also going and the wind happens to be blowing in the wrong direction. It's a pity because they have the best location but this place just doesn't seem to have its S*#t together. EDIT Went back today and had the first good experience we've had here in years. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was terrific. The best part, we were told we could order through the damn painful and stupid app... Or at the bar. We chose the bar, what a relief. My faith is beginning to be restored. Fingers crossed they continue on the right path.

Well what a incredible surprise. Congratulations on a truly amazing place. Right on the foreshore side of Frankston amongst everything (food, night life beach). Big props to the door managers. So friendly easy going the perfect people to greet you. A chilled elegant vibe with lots of tables to sit watch the sunset, be romantic or to have a rowdy party...this place rocks rolls it'll surprise you how BIG it is. Heaps of parking but be warned kitchen closes at 930pm . Did I mention the door managers. Thank You. See you there again soon. G

Food was delicious. Calamari, steak, kids pasta, lamb salad, dessert… everything on point. But… best thing about our dinner was the service. Jo Jo, you were amazing! Our daughter loved you, chatted about u the entire drive home

Waited 1 hour and 15 minutes to be served lunch (pizza and a burger). Pizza was oily and warm, burger was alright but chips were warm, not hot and fresh as expected. Expected more of such a large venue. I spoke to other patrons who waited 2 hours for their lunch to arrive. If management see this review, I highly recommend the menu is condensed to fewer items to speed up service in the future.

Went here for an early lunch on Sunday It was quiet at the time. Food was generally good, pizza came out barely warm towards the middle. Pizza better when put through the oven again. Schnitzel was good, fried chicken burger was good. Scan at table to order meals arrived quick. Orders placed at bar before the others were forgotten and required someone to give them a shake up after other meals had arrived.
