We came around lunchtime on Sunday and were unaware that the $12 lunch specials ended at 2:30 pm but the lady behind the bar was nice enough to put them through for us. The veal parmy was ok. The crumb on it wasn't very crunchy and was quite soggy. Might have been sitting under a heat lamp too long and the oily crumb would've soaked through. My friend ordered the lamb shanks and I think they were the winner of the list of specials. The chips were good. Would be nice if the beers and cider on tap were cheaper too during these deals.

Fast service. Nice atmosphere over looking the lake. Good value for money with the 12 dollar lunch special. Other items on the menu also well priced. Great local pub!!

Breakfasts. Lakeside is now serving alacarte breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Great place to have breakfast and then take the children to the park to burn off energy.
From Pancakes to the Big Breakfast it caters for all tastes.
Lakeside Bar & Bistro is a great local venue that is Southlake's best kept secret.

Fantastic food and service, can't complain about anything.. I had the scoopon voucher for a value of 2 appetizers and 2 main dishes, so I went there with my girlfriend just now. We had arancini with pumpkin and feta, and calamari. The arancini is a bomb! They're so good, and the portion is really generous! both of us are actually pretty full after the appetizer. Then the waitress came and cleaned our table, and not long after that, our main dish came. The waitress is definitely keeping a good eye on us coz she knew when to take our plate and when to take out our main dish. great service!

We ordered t-bone steak and pork belly. The T-Bone steak is cooked as to my liking, the medium-rare, but the pork belly is the hero of tonight's feast, I have to say. It has this crackling skin to it, and when you cut in it, it's tender inside. Very delicious, very satisfying. Can't say anything more.

Oh, and we had the house red wine and white win as our companion tonight, and the drink came a second later, lovely service, once again. Both the waitress and the waiter are just lovely. Great service, even better food. We went there for dinner just now, but probably lunch time might be better as you can see the lake view outside.

Fitzy's has changed management once again and this is for the better. Excellent meals on two occasions, friendly, war welcoming staff. Kid friendly with real chicken bites not nuggets. Very affordable as well. Can't fault them on anything.

I hadn't been here for a while due to not being impressed with the food I heard it was under new management so thought I would try again. I'm so thrilled I did. The food and menus are brilliant generous servings. Couldn't fault the food full of favour meats n seafood cooked to perfection the service was wonderful too. Keep this up and I will keep coming back.

This place is under new management :) and the service is amazing :) the wait staff are great :) very friendly :) I had the chicken Parmy and it was the size of the plate and came with salad and wedges. My partner had the rump steak and it was so tender and full of flavour, they use MSA steak and proper chicken breast they crumb them selves. I would highly recommend this place for functions or a romantic dinner. And the wildlife are so friendly they come right up to the door. :) can't wait to come back and have dinner with my friends and family :) Thanx again for a great experience :)

Wow!!! What a massive improvement ten fold!! Have eaten here for lunch and dinner about a dozen times since beginning of January under the new management and chef!! Have been waiting to write my review to ensure the standard stays high! With new lunch and dinner menus being extremely appetizing and spot on every time for flavor and satisfaction... My family and I are glad to have there local back! Atmosphere and service have also improved extraordinary and very kid and family orientated! Especially love the desserts and the prices and always leaving way too full and overindulged!!

New Management, New Menu. A welcome change!. The management has changed hands again (Dec 2012), and what a welcome change it is! The prices are much more reasonable (only one main over $30), and the quality of the food is excellent.

We had garlic bread to start, which was nice though may be a little rich for some. It was hard to choose a starter because there were so many yummy options! We will be trying the potato skins topped with cheese and bacon next time, it looked tasty. Either that or the crumbed camembert, which is a personal favourite of mine.

For mains we ordered the Pork Meaty Spare Ribs ($25.50) and the 180gm Tenderloin Fillet ($29.50). The meat is provided from the South West, is aged 4-5 weeks and is Angus beef. And boy can you tell. The fillet was ordered medium, and it came out as such. The meat was tender, had so much flavour, and the pepper sauce that accompanied it was delicious. The Pork Ribs did indeed have lots of meat on them, and I got them accompanied by BBQ sauce (Home made with vegetables), mashed potato and garden salad. The salad was fresh and the mashed potato was good.

There has also been changes to the dessert menu, and we tried two new additions, the Honey Bees (Honeycomb gelato encased in chocolate with a honeycomb fudge centre), and the Cointreau Orange (Cointreau gelato encased in chocolate). In hindsight we could have shared one as they were large, but both were very good.

As it has only just gone to the new management there are a few kinks in the service, which is to be expected when new staff are being trained, but I'm sure this will be ironed out in time. There was great service from the bar staff, and the cook was happy to answer questions about the menu.

We hadn't been to Fitzy's for a while due to the changes that occurred in 2011, but we are really glad we went back.

If this is your local pub and haven't been there in a while, give it another chance. We would like to see it stay the way it is now, so support your local!

I liked it but.... I have been to Fitzy's twice now. The first time was with a group of friends who were all happy with their meals, especially my boyfriend who finally got his steak cooked the way he likes it. The second time we came just us two and he got theseafood salad. For $30 we got a handful of salad with about 3 prawns and 3 scallops, we were not too impressed. My meal was amazing though and dessert was lovely.

Fantastic. We went for dinner at Fitzys last night (party of 4 and a toddler) and i cant rave enough about the food. each meal was cooked beautifully with very generous portions ( Even the two grown men could not finish their meals).
I chose the grilled chicken with white wine and mushroom sauce, it was nothing short of spectacular!
the flavours were delicious from the first to last bite.

We will definitely be returning again very soon, i encourage you all to give it a try!

Not worth trying the expensive crocodile, but.... Nothing wrong with this place, i've been there three times and liked it.
Really appreciated their soft serve: amazing.

Good ambiance and prices are not so bad, compared to other places.

Good value!. We had not been to Fitzy's before and went because it's close and we wanted to try it. We went on a Monday night, usually a slow night for restaurants and generally no need to book. We were very impressed, service was very good, meals came out together and the meals themselves were absolutely delicious. I had the crocodile which came with prawns, scallops and calamari and it was superb. Cooked just right with a light sauce that blended with the subtle flavours without overpowering them. I would have it again! Good servings too. And even though it's not a chinese reataurant - I really loved the fortune cookies. They were a nice finishing touch to a really good meal. We will be back and recommend Fitzy's to our friends.

Awesome NEW Management. If you haven't tried Fitzy's in a while (pre September 2011) - you need to try it again. The meals are nothing short of sensational.

I must recommend The Flinstone - a 700g monster of a steak which they seem to cook perfectly as requested each time! It is the best steak I have had in a Perth restaurant in years. Costs $40, but worth every cent.

Friendly staff. Perfect meals and a great location. It has certainly surpassed The Gate now. For food and price at least.

Miss the Kids room - has been moved to a set of Game Consoles in the dining area.

Also would be better if they changed some of their tap beers and mixed it up a bit more.

But top marks from me!

New Management. 14th October 2011

We have been frequenting Fitzys Family Restaurant for the past 4years. During this time it has been managed by various people and the quality of the food and service has been average to poor.

Finally under this new management we have actually enjoyed our first meal here at Fitzys.

My partner and I both ordered a dozen fresh South Australian oysters (natural) which tasted like they had just been taken from the sea and were of a good size. This was refreshing as many other oysters we have had at other restaurants have been substandard (i.e. small and not fresh).
We then ordered as our main meals the Neptune Lobster which consisted of fresh north west tiger prawns, scallops, crumbed squid and half a lobster grilled to perfection with a lemon butter sauce, also it came with sides of steamed vegetables and potatoes, alternatively you could have had salad and chips.

The whole meal consisted of fresh ingredients and this was evident from the first mouth full right to the last.

The waiting time on the entree and the main meal were of a good time and we were not left waiting too long even though the restaurant was filled to three quarter capacity. The waiting staff still managed to make sure we were catered to at all times.

The only criticism we have was the small amount of time we had to wait to be seated. This aside it was well worth waiting for.

We recommend to all past diners who have had unpleasant dining experiences at Fitzys to try again as you would find the quality and improvement of the food and service much more pleasurable. As for people yet to dine at Fitzys both my partner and I recommend it.
