Diplomat Bar & Grill - Griffith, Australian Capital Territory

We had a two course meal at the Diplomat. The restaurant sits awkwardly in the centre of the hotel with a view of open walkways and hotel room doors. The service was amazing however the food was lacking. I had a pumpkin ravioli but I didn't taste any pumpkin as it was overpowered by another salty taste almost bitter. I also had beef cheeks which were falling apart however the flavour wasn't really apparent. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed by the food. Bar service was great!!

Lovely food and nice atmosphere, but disappointing service at the end.

We really enjoyed our meal—the food was delicious and the ambiance was lovely. However, the experience was let down after our Mains,when we tried to order dessert at 8:50pm. One staff member told us the kitchen was closed, without asking if we’d like dessert or giving any advance notice that last orders were approaching.

She also said we should have known the kitchen closing time because we booked through EatClub—which felt a bit dismissive and it’s shouldn’t had been mentioned.When we checked the app, it clearly showed the restaurant closes at 9:00pm, so we ordered dessert with a different staff member, thinking we were still within time and she said Yes we are still on time to have our sticky date pudding.

Nice to enjoy breakfast and dinner at Diplomat Bar & Grill (Ramada Diplomat Restaurant) during our stay in the hotel across New Year’s Eve and New Year 2025. The food quality and price are good. Service and atmosphere are also good. The 2 and 3 course menu is clear to read. It’s easy to pick our drink from the beverage and wine menu.

I was pleasantly surprised. I have lived in Canberra for many years. It was a bit of the tentative decision and was a little concerned about the place after reading a couple of reviews.
Although the hotel and restaurant is old they have renovated the indoors and have beautiful blue carpets and comfortable seating. There is ample room to sit and they must cater for tour groups so not exactly a place for romantic dinner. But great place to hang out with friends or family. Food was delicious and healthy. Being on wellness journey I ordered Zuccini noodle and wasn't disappointed with the taste and mango pudding with real fruit was yum withoout being too sweet. My friend wasn't disappoined with her Srilankan chicken and rice. It was also very reasonably priced as well.

Food was absolutely delicious. Paid $33 for slow cooked beef cheeks and garlic mashed potatoes and carrots. Lovely environment. Quiet.

I am very impressed with all aspects of my dining experience. My friend and I had a cocktail each and shared several small plates. Everything dish was divine. The prawns were standout. I've had tapas at some fabulous dining establishments in both Australia and Spain. These were possibly the best I've had. The waitress was professional. The dining space is softly and pleasantly furnished allowing easy conversation. I will definitely be back.
