The Garden @ Wests Ashfield Leagues

Great place to take kids as there is a play area. Lots of variety on the menu. You do need to be a member of the club, unless you live far away or are signed in by a member the usual arrangement at such clubs. Members get discounts on food and drinks, so it’s worth it to sign up.

Went there with friends and family for the first time. I have to say that we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the place looks and its kid friendly. That’s where the good ends. We ordered pork ribs, chicken tacos, kids dinosaur nuggets, Caesar salad and black pepper beef with steamed rice. The food ranged from disgusting to bland. The ribs were dry under seasoned and barely glazed. They could have been days old and I wouldn’t be surprised. The black pepper beef was practically seasoned with just soy, not horrible but not far off. The Caesar salad dressing was watery and tasted odd. I had one bite and could tell it wasn’t right. The taco was meh, Basically, we had an unforgettable experience for all the wrong reasons. Completely avoidable

The food can be a hit and miss here. Definitely recommend the scotch fillet steak and seafood plate. The lamb rump was good but the potatoes were burnt and lamb on the fatty side. We did also order the arranchinis but they tasted raw and frozen.

Additional information: This restaurant is INSIDE of the Wests Ashfield Leagues Club and when you 're alone, you have to be able to show that you 're over 18 (so bring your ID). I am a solo traveller at 18 and it 's my first Christmas alone, so I decided to have a nice lunch. For the 24th of December (Christmas is celebrated on that day in Germany) I booked a table over the phone (with a rather not so nice person). The personnel (most of them) didn 't look you in the eye, didn 't smile and didn 't say anything. The food was good (especially the sauce for my chicken schnitzel with chips). The atmosphere is really beautiful though! Overall it was an expensive but beautiful experience (aside from the personnel).

We had our Christmas party here at lunch time. Organising it was easy, the area was separate to the rest of the restaurant, food was beautiful and staff easy to deal with. Thank you West's Ashfield Leagues.
