After discovering that the place we wanted to eat at didn't open for dinner (on Saturday???); then driving around Ballarat for an hour looking for somewhere to eat (that didn't just serve chinese), we came across the BLC, & pulled in out of desperation more than anything, so weren't expecting much except to satisfy our extreme hunger.
Even though they were booked solid, they accommodated us, albeit in the Bar, but I was impressed immediately because the place was really clean, & didn't have that greasy smell that some of these types of clubs seem to have, (usually because everything is deep-fried, or served with something that's deep-fried).
I had a calamari salad with sweet chilli, lime & coriander dressing, & Hubby had the kangaroo. Being a seasoned foodie, I'll be honest here, I expected the meals to be average, but they were anything but...
My calamari was so tender you could cut it with a spoon, & the salad was so fresh & crispy, with tons of vegies, I'm happy to say (including 6 big pieces of tomato!). My pet hate is when you order salad & you only get one scabby cherry tomato (cut in half to make it look like you got more), but there was nothing of that sort going on here.
Hubby's kangaroo was exactly as he ordered, (rare) & again, you could cut that with a spoon, & that had a perfectly roasted sweet potato with it, mash, & this nice tomato chutney.
No wonder this place was packed, the food was surprisingly good.

Great food, they have different specials most weeknights, seafood night specials, steaknight, etc. All equally as yummy. Service is reasonably quick, staff try to be helpful. perfect place for a low-key family meal

Wow what a variety of nights. Thursday is Seafood night, Friday is Steak night, and then Sunday is a 2 course meal. There is also al la carte, and a fantastic area for the kids to play in while they wait for their meals. So I wasn't surprised when holding my birthday there, that the food was extremely satisifying and well presented - with EVERYONE enjoying their choices. The staff were more than helpful and those who had never been there before, saying they will return.

Went there this week and not impressed. Food came out way too quick for it to have been cooked rather than just reheated. Quite pricey and not overley large serves. Staff were not interested in criticism especially the very very dry cake they suggested to us.
