Here in a group of six for dinner. It was a lovely night and we were surprised that it wasn't busier. This great looking pub come restaurant really does have a bit of wow factor when it comes to looks... simply stunning inside. There's a large central bar area and a separate dining room. All our meals and great, no one complained about the quality or serving sizes and they really were decent in size. The only let down was the friendliness of the waitress, she wasn't. Staff attentiveness and making patrons is a huge part of the overall experience for diners. I will return as it's in a great location across from the Carlton Gardens and along the tram route..
From the moment you open the door at St Andrews you receive a warm welcome.
The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and outstanding (Management - make this a prerequisite in the future)
The steak range and swordfish cooked to perfection.
The wine is a little on the pricey side, but remember ordering starters and mains doesn't sustain businesses like St Andrews.
Get a dessert and bottle of vino into you and we'll be seeing reviews for this place in 20 years time.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Fillet Steak was cooked to medium rare perfection and the choice of sides and ability to mix it up worked well. My companions sampled the full range of steaks and the swordfish special and all devoured their meals. Sticky date pudding and cheesecake were an outstanding finish. Service from the lovely English lass was attentive and professional. Talented chef in the kitchen. Will return.
Ate here recently with a friend, it is a beautiful pub that has a real country feel about it. I loved the decor, it reminded me of a family friends farm with the old photos and decor. Really is lovely, service was great too.
Our wines were nice, a good wine list and food menu We shared the pork belly which was nice, good crackling on the pork. My kangaroo was really delicious and I enjoyed this with the beetroot risotto, the beetroot risotto was a first for me and I loved it. Unfortunately my friends curry wasn't that great. It was very sweet and a whopping $28! Very expensive for a curry and the fact that it wasn't even enjoyable seemed to hurt the pocket even more.
A nice pub, but next time I will skip the food and just have a bevie.
Just had a wedding here yesterday and would say the space is great for a ceremony/reception, ambience is really great and wine selection was delicious. Food highlights for me as it was cocktail was: crumbed prawn with a sauce , pulled pork roll, mini hamburgers and duck pancake , lamb skewers with cheese a must and chicken skewers nice too.
Staff friendly if anything a bit too tidy , I’d put my wine down for two minutes and it seemed to disappear every time. Lol
Would recommend that’s for sure !!
I quite enjoy this place and will often turn to it if I’m after a relatively quiet, warm and inviting pub meal that serves all the pub classics to a good standard. Good hospitality can be expected here too!
Their food is always cooked very well and delicious, and the staff are lovely. Definitely above average pub fare! They renovated awhile back too so it's got a nice atmosphere.

Charming and cosy pub overlooking Carlton Gardens. We dined on a Saturday night without a booking and were seated straight away by the friendly staffs.
We were blown away by the food when our dishes arrived. The Chicken Parma was huge, and it was covered on top by gooey creamy cheese and surrounded by crisped crunchy cheese on the edges. Cheese done two ways on a Parma that was moist and tender - loved it! The chips however weren't that great.
The Spanish Chorizo Pappardelle was coated in a rich creamy sauce and accompanied by pieces of chorizo and roasted pumpkins. The salty chorizo and the sweet pumpkins worked wonders to create a beautiful balance of flavours in such a decadent dish.
The Eye Fillet was cooked to perfection. My partner asked for medium rare and received a sexy piece of meat that was pink in the middle, with some juice flowing, and soft yet slightly springy. Safe to say that he polished off everything on his plate.
While the 3 mains were excellent, the lamb, feta and mint croquettes for starter was just slightly above average. While the execution was spot on - creamy on the inside, and crispy on the outside, the mint somewhat overpowered the signature gamey taste of the lamb.
Not the cheapest meal when alcohol is added into the equation, but it was a very tasty meal indeed.
Second time here and just as good as the first.
I had the Eye Fillet with tossed vegies and mash. Steak was cooked to Medium perfection and melted in my mouth. Vegies fresh and crisp and mashed potato smooth and delicious. Tried the Anchovy and Mustard butter with my steak which I enjoyed (although it was so cold it took quite a while to melt on my steak).
He had the Black Angus Porterhouse with Steak Fries and Salad. Only criticism was not enough dressing on the salad but otherwise very enjoyable.
Pub has a great classy atmosphere and staff are very attentive.
Prices seem to have increased since last visit - normally a glass of wine from a pub bistro is around $7.50 their wine list was on average $10 a glass which to me is a little high.
Nevertheless a very good experience overall.
My partner and I had dinner there last night. It was a relatively quiet night w only 2 tables full, yet we were sat next a kitchen door. This is one of the worst seats in the house!
The food on the other hand was really good. We started w duck spring rolls which were full of meat and excellent quality, but some seasoning would help.
Then some wedges which were the best I’ve had. For mains we had pork belly which was great but unfortunately too fatty overall.
Then it was a chicken parma of course, which was HUGE! Tasty too, but the salad and the chips let this dish down.
The drinks were good but definitely not cheap. A small range of craft beers and tassie cider. Overall it was a solid night.
I can’t thank the staff at St Andrews Hotel enough for helping make my daughter's Christening day extra special. The Room with a View was a great space. The food was delicious. The staff were so friendly and attentive. All my guests have spoken so highly of the service and day. We really appreciate it and will highly recommend St Andrews Hotel to family and friends. Thanks again!!
I booked the private dining “Room with a View” for my daughters christening and I am so glad I did. Organising everything was so easy, staff were thorough and went through all the little details to ensure a smooth night. On the night, service was fantastic. Staff ensured every guest was well taken care of all night long, the food was lovely and there were options to suit everyone. We all left super full and happy!
We recently had our engagement lunch at St Andrews Hotel in Fitzroy in their "Room with a View". We had a fabulous day! The team were so lovely to deal with, professional, friendly and organised. The food was excellent with very generous portions. The room was a lovely size for our party of 24 with a great view on a perfect Autumn day. I would definitely recommend this space for any small-medium functions.

Was there for group Xmas lunch. Food was delicious. Generous portion size for a set menu. Staff there was very attentive and lovely. Room was beautifully decorated for xmas functions. Shout out to the two young bartenders (1 in the front room and 1 in the back room). I was looking for a cocktail not on the menu, the bartender in the back room said he couldn't but the front bar has all the ingredients and can make it for me. Front room bartender, although he didn't how to make it was willing to google and make it. Drink was spot on. The other bartender even came over to my table to check if I was able to order my drink. Cudos to both 😀. Only negative (hence 4 star and not 5 star). I found the older barman/ manager rude, unfriendly and grumpy. When i arrived was not welcoming at the door. Asked me "which group"that was it. I dismissed that, then when i went to the bar later to ask for an off menu cocktail, same demeanour. "Don't know what that is, how you make it." Didn't seem like he cared. The young bartender then chimed in and said he would look it up and make it for me. Loved the drink but didn't want to stay for drinks after that. May consider coming back just in case it was a once off. Feedback to the older man is don't make a paying customer feel unwelcome or that you couldn't care less. There are a lot of great bars and pubs around Fitzroy to choose from.
I recently celebrated my 30th Birthday at The St Andrews Hotel, Room With View. From the moment I made the booking the team at St Andrews were onto everything. On the day of my event the team were ready to help set up flowers, decorations and cake. The table was beautifully set with antipasto platters and glasses of prosecco on arrival for my guests. The service was beyond what I had imagined and everyone commented on how attentive the staff were. The food was great and there was plenty of it!!! I could not be happier with how my event went and could not recommend The St Andrews Hotel more for your next party or event.
Thank you to the amazing team for helping me to create beautiful memories with my loved ones on my birthday.
I can't wait to come back 😊
Ebony!
Never fails! Excellent food, impossible to select a bad vintage and service exemplary, attentive and not obtrusive.
If you're wanting a fail-safe experience in a well appointed hotel overlooking a park go to St Andrew's.
I love coming here for a good steak and mash potato. The service was excellent and the fold was even better. They treat you like one of the family at this place. Highly recommend.
Went here for dinner last night and only one word - WOW. We had the Crispy pork belly and the Seafood Linguini and neither dish disappointed.
The flavours were just sublime and the service - spot on, attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely visit again.
