Mietta's Review
Having moved up the road from its original digs, The Hamilton Strand may be in finer surrounds, but it continues to please the locals. It also has a lovely out door dining area. The food is excellent for the money and unmatched in this part of the world. It utilises produce from local growers and producers.

Other published opinions

Age Good Food Guide 2008 "The Strand's cottage garden and baroque dining room harks back to another time: you halfexpect the ornate Mediterranean-accented dishes to come on a lidded silver platter"

The Age Good Food Guide 2006 "Country folk don't fall forfads, but they soon spot a winner. The Strand, set in an old bank with idyllic gardens, draws from quality produce to create top-value lunches "

The Age Good Food Guide 2005 "the Strand is actually a rather grand Victorian house, with a formal dining room and fair-weather veranda."

AGFG 2004, excellent breakfasts
