Wests Ashfield Leagues Club

A very nice modern open and light filled space offering well above average bistro/club food at reasonable prices. The tap beer offering is limited but does feature some decent craft options. Service is friendly and tables well spaced.

The Garden: Food as usual was great. Which is why this isn’t a 1 star review. The service today was appalling:1. They couldn’t seat us in the dining area as there were no free tables. It was fully booked. The dining area was empty and the table next to us had a sign saying it was booked at 1pm. We arrived at 11:45am2. When we placed our order we were told the kitchen was not able to bring out our entree as an entree. It would come when everything was ready. Again, the dining area was mostly empty. Disappointing that a professional kitchen can’t achieve a bare minimum of service.3. Asked a waitress for a jug of water. Told we had to go ask at the bar. She then went off to polish cutlery. Again, dining hall was mostly empty.4. Asked for a jug of water at the bar. Told there were no jugs left. Given individual glasses. 2 min later see staff member bring 3 jugs to other staff, they all then proceed to drink out of these jugs using straws.5. Went to order coffee, waited in long bar line, once I got to the front I was told to go to a different part of the bar and wait there again. We left and had desert elsewhere.Don’t go if you value your time. Food was good but you can get good food and good service elsewhere.Oh and after perusing the menu, I asked if I should put them somewhere separate to be sanitized and was told not to worry about it.

When the garden first opened ,it was unbelievable.And then it went downhill when they swapped hands with in the year.NowDazzling lights , vegetation growing on the ceiling.Don’t be fooled with the decor.Reality is overpriced food.Dry pork belly.Dry steak.If you want surf and turf just add $15 for 2 small prawns.Grow up management and stop acting like the crown casino.

Love this place except the 2 tiny lifts they have. When they are a lot of people it’s almost impossible to get the lifts as it’s only big enough to fit 3 people at a time. The food however is really nice here. Decor and everything very clean and pleasing.

The food was good but: After we had our food and drinks I went to order dessert. I asked for the half of the donut balls not to have any sauce/cream on, and the person who was taking the order was confused whether it is possible. I said can you ask the kitchen if they can do it - meanwhile he did ask the kitchen about other people's requests before me - and he said straight out: No.Have some respect, at least. More than likely will not be going back although the food was decent.

Terrific club, had dinner at the beautiful Garden resteraunt, the food was just delicious, great atmosphere and great service. Had a very nice night out. Definitely recommend.

The level of quality has fallen so far from the top in the more recent years - my family and I have been regular customers for well over 15 years, the biggest problem is it's frequent change in management and the food is outright mediocre and overpriced!To add to this tonight's poor experience a order was made for four Chicken Schnitzel plus the added make your schnitzel a parmigiana" for an extra five dollars.Apparently now you would have to "buy the gravy on the side because you made your chicken schnitzel a parmigiana" which does not make sense. Parma is an additional to the original order not 'add the parma and we take your gravy away?' - That's like ordering a double patty burger but we take away your sauce because you've added an extra patty - logically FLAWED.If the staff and team on hand could kindly explain how does this even make any sense and best explain why my family should ever come back.What was a weekly family dinner location slowly became a monthly visit now I'm not sure how many times we keep coming hoping for redemption - utterly disappointed."

We love The Garden Restorant. Today is Ribs Monday but a bit too much peppery for our liking but still... The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful.

Delicious Yum Cha at Golden Times seafood Restaurant. Great place to have Yum Cha.Parking available under ground and club members get 5% discount. They also have Yum Cha daily. Plenty of carts roam the restaurant with a nice assortment of dishes ranging from dumplings and chicken feet to congee and egg tarts.We ordered the Prawn Dumplings, sticky rice, steamed prawn rice noodles, vegetable dumplings, Vegetables wrapped in bean curd, spicy chicken feet, black sesame fried balls, deep fried dumpling with pork mince.Washed it all down with a nice pot of Chinese tea.Best to go with at least four friends so you can sample more dishes (dumplings usually come with four pieces and you can ask the trolley ladies to cut up the rice noodles into 4 pieces)Note this place cane get very busy on the weekends, but the wait is worth it!
