Nautica Pool Kitchen - Geelong (VIC)

Our family of 6 Dined here during the stay at Rydges Hotel. We found the menu selection excellent with 4 hungry teenagers but thought it a little expensive. Garlic bread $14 is too expensive. Waiting for our meals was too long to get 1 hour for meals, but as we had a nice night, it wasn't too much. There were two young waiters who had the bar, tables and room service menu that I felt left diner a little unloved no offer for more drinks, dessert or anything else. They did a great job and were really friendly, funny and great at their job, they only needed another person on the floor helping I felt. The food was excellent, fresh and well cooked with beautiful presentation, and the dining area was spacious and welcoming, but a little soulless without music. Music would add a great atmosphere. Overall we enjoyed Nautica very much that in the late afternoon we had a few drinks in the pool bar before dinner and it was a really nice atmosphere outside under the umbrellas. Overall, I highly recommend for the food and the beautiful service with a smile.

Service was fast and attentive. The food was well cooked and well presented pub-style food. The ambience was good with different zones that were not accessible. Good for families or a happy evening meal.

Fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Food was good and the children's meals were great portions. Very practical if you are staying at the hotel.??????

Fantastic dishes and services!!! Nicely decorated and good menu. It took a little to wait for the food, but they came a little slow.

Did not have our online booking and the table could have been better, felt like we were stuck in the middle of 2 poles. Food service waitstaff were very helpful.
