My husband (a member of Geelong Cats and one-eyed supporter) and I had lunch at the Brook today. This was not our first visit but as usual, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The wine was good the pasta both vegetarian and marinara was delicious as was the banana concoction and the Brule. though the Brule may have been enhanced with cream or ice cream.
Staff are respectful and friendly the place is clean and the food at all times something to enjoy. I would not hesitate to recommend The Brook Well done guys and gals
We are from out of town visiting friends, & wanted a casual night out, so our friends brought us here & we were really happy with everything, nice casual family restaurant, the meals were yummy, didnt have to wait long, granted it was sunday night, not over priced at all. Katrina our waitress was great, very friendly, accommodating & nothing was an issue for her. We will definitely be back when we visit again. & dont forget to look us up when you come up Katrina!
Came here first time
Few months back, had the flounder special and came in a set. Very filling and satisfying. Taste was on point, place itself was very cosy and great for families and kids, awesome ambiance and would definitely return. Great valueđ

Really impressed with the Brook. This local place was once a dive which was not inviting at all. It seems new management have taken over and really lifted this place to one of the top in the area. We initially attended the function space for a funeral wake and were very pleased. The familyâs wishes and style were executed in a very tasteful way, the food was in abundance and bar staff were accommodating. After the wake, a group of us moved into âThe Food Roomâ for dinner. Equally as impressed with the changes to the restaurant, meals were fresh, hot and delicious. Nice sized menu without too many options. We enjoyed Espresso martinis after dinner which were smooth and delicious. After dinner we went to the sports bar, live music and a big crowd. Didnât stay too long but if youâre in the mood for drinks and music, Iâd definitely spend some time here. Definitely will be back and recommend all locals give it a go!
Myself and my wife just spent a very pleasent evening at The Brook. The service was excellent, and the food was tasty and delivered to our table promptly after we ordered. However the highlight of our evening was our host, Claire. Talk about making one feel at home. This was our first time here, but most definitely, will not be our last.
Came here with friends for drinks, didnât get to eat anything but I would definitely come here again for either lunch or dinner because I liked the coffee and the environment. Very nice seating and friendly staff
Really great place , food was ample serves and tasty , attentive service friendly staff ,nice decor , only lost .5 star due to needs a bit more variety on menu !
Amazing that all I have to say but need more staff took to long for the food to arrive but it least it was worth the wait!coming back! Be ready!

Love the REVAMP! Great menu - surprised by the offering of crocodile sausage, kangaroo and wallaby! Amazing crispy chips to go with my TBone steak. Fresh seafood was evident in the surf. Excellent espresso martinis and great service. Will be back
Older reviews for this restaurant can probably be deemed redundant after the entire restaurant was moved, redesigned and revamped with a completely new room, design and menu. It's still located within 'The Brook' however the restaurant goes by 'The Food Room'.
I have to say my initial impressions after the revamp were extremely positive, the atmosphere is quite cosy, with booth areas for groups and low dimmed lighting. It makes for a relaxing social dining environment suited for families with kids with a new playground outside, there are also larger tables towards the back. Staff are very attentive, friendly and talkative which is great to see.
Food wise I'm also very impressed, the new menu has a massive variety of meals, including tapas which is great if you aren't hungry enough to tackle one of their steaks and parmas. Personally, I've tried the Bulgogi bento box (which unfortunately seems to have been taken off the menu) as well as the Crumbed Calamari, Â Vegetarian Gyoza and Chicken Drumette tapas. I enjoyed these a lot more than the Wagyu Beef Burger which didn't exceed my expectations and was fairly average.
Overall for a local restaurant I recommend this to to groups of moderate size and families who all enjoy good food in a modern industrial interior atmosphere.
Great service, really cool decor and well designed environment. Large play area within sight but away from meals so isn't noisy or intrusive.
Huge variety of tapas, meals and desserts.
Started with saganaki, bruschetta and calalmari. All fabulous.
For mains we had the crocodile sausage which came drenched in a smoked BBQ sauce and a tender kangaroo fillet with an incredible mash accompaniment. The fillet was amazing, the sausage was really good but I feel it would be better with the addition of some green veggies to break through the sauce.
Service was fabulous-friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend to families for the play area and for anyone else that enjoys good food!
Table service works well and efficient. The Chicken Kiev was a little burnt but still worth it and would be happy to recommend this place to friends.
Recently went here on a Saturday night after reading a few reviews. Quite a few people there showing that it was reasonably popular. Good for families. Staff was friendly and the service was reasonably quick. Reasonable menu without being too expensive. The only thing would be to update the menu on the website to what is currently being offered at the restaurant. As the online version had more options but was told by a staff member (after showing her), that it may of being changed. Overall, was happy with my overall experience and will go again.
