    Food/Wine: 10/10, had the Snapper crudo for entree and steak special for main. Also had a beautiful Italian red. Staff: knowledgeable and can really notice the team work/theyre a well oiled machine there. Ambiance: if you prefer a more old school pub feel rather than a modern one, this is the place to go. Lovely open fire and cozy feel. Also, bonus they have a fantastic beer garden when the weather is suitable.

    Had a lovely night on Tuesday at the Morning Star for steak night. We had a table in the dining room that filled up fast. Cannot speak highly enough of service, our waiter was excellent! It was a busy night but he didn’t miss a beat. All staff were lovely, atmosphere was cozy. Steak chips and salad 11/10 (have been to steak night multiple times here and it is always 11/10). Best steak night in Williamstown. Can’t wait for next Tuesday!

    Great food, service and table for a catchup with friends from regional Victoria. We have dined here many times and I fully understand it’s a child friendly pub however I think we struck out with about 3 different family groups who had grumpy children and as a grandparent I also can relate to this situation Nevertheless a nice lunch and time was had by all.

    3pm booking with one person in an electric wheelchair. Staff were very accommodating with access to dining room and a table with plenty of room around it. Service was good and food delicious, especially chicken liver parfait 😋 For the price would have liked some veggies on my meal instead of a few lettuce mix leaves but without having to order a side dish. Slow cooked lamb. My friend had oysters, eggplant parmigiana, lettuce with anchovies or sardines which he enjoyed. Timing between entrees and mains was good as we asked for a longer time which was no problem for them. Have been before and will go back.

    It was a beautiful day, and with 6 kids under 8, we needed to ensure they had space to be just kids. The outdoor play area was ideal. But it would have been perfect if there was some play equipment in addition to the sand pit. We were well shaded and the kids were in a secure area and thus safe. We had a few initial hiccups relating to table set up, but this was soon dealt with by the friendly and efficient staff. Food was delicious and served in a timely manner despite the pub being packed with customers. (A recommendation in itself!) The inside dining area is amazing and certainly worth a visit. We will visit again. Great local venue.
