Wonderful early-week group lunch - and so fortunate to have the lovely Katie anticipating our every need! Food was fantastic (can't believe the generosity in size of a couple of the entrees; and the $25 classics lunch special was fantastic value!) We had the b e s t time and service & food faultless. Remember being here in the 80s and honestly, all things considered, it's better! We'll be back, and often! Thank you.

Have walked past many times, and it's always very busy. Family visiting from out of town picked the College Lawn Hotel for dinner. The meal was amazing, and given it was a Monday, we ordered off the $23 menu! The meals are generous and well-flavored.Staff are super friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to Josh for making us some pots of tea and a hot chocolate. Likely the first of many visits!!

Was in Prahan for a long weekend visiting friends and was introduced to College Lawn. It quickly became our home away from home. The menu is incredible with fantastic weekly specials. All of the staff in the establishment were super friendly - hence it becoming a favourite jaunt.. Special shout out to manager Ruby, such a lovely welcoming human, the venue is lucky to have her. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
