The Dava Hotel - Mount Martha

Ordered the trout with scallops but received no scallops. I told the waitress who said she will talk to the chef. Next time I saw her she had forgotten to tell the chef snd went to talk to him. Came back and said sorry forgot the scallops! Not very good when that is listed as part as the meal. No coffee offered, no desserts nothing. Very disappointed,

We have been going to the Dava since the 1980's It has never waived from Service and Food excellence . During Covid everything was different , but over the last few visits we have done maybe new management the Staff have been fantastic , enthusiastic young waiters and waitresses, great food very enjoyable. It is our go to place when we have friends visiting from town also.

We loved our experience here. The pumpkin soup was outstanding. Great flavour with just the right amount of heat. The accompanying bread was nice too. My roast lamb was faultless. Perfect amount of meat and veggies perfectly cooked with a lovely gravy. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her osso bucco ravioli too. The service from the young severs was terrific too. Efficient and polite. We loved not having to wait around forever too. The soup was brought out quickly and we were asked if we were ready for our mains. We thought the meal prices were most reasonable too. I’m not sure what the story is with some of the negative reviews here. This is a classic Aussie pub experience and a very good one.

We came with our family for dinner. The kids had fun playing on the outside play area, but we were really disappointed in our meals. We paid $35 for each adult meal and received some fairly sloppy food with not a lot of taste. Unfortunately we won’t be rushing back

The staff were helpful, courteous and friendly. They were generally very young but had the skills and good manners to deal with customers. the $27 three course Seniors meals were tasty and filling. The food was nice and hot and served quickly. The place is a bit like a canteen but clean and well lit. Highly recommended
