We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate a friend's 80th Birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meals very much and said they would visit the Clare Castle again - a hidden gem! A big shout out to the staff who were extremely helpful and always smiling - nothing was too much trouble. If you haven't visited Clare Castle - you should - I highly recommend the garlic prawns!

Far too much salt on chips, otherwise great food and service. Perhaps include a small salad with the fish and chips? Great night at our fave Port Melbourne hotel/restaurant. Staff are the best 😁👍❤️
