Banjo's On Albert

I have loved this place for many years however I have unfortunately come across a few faults recently… My grandmother came out for tea with us and only had a doctor’s covid vaccine certificate, she was refused entry and our entire family had to go home because we weren’t willing to have her sit in the car whilst we ate. The elderly group behind us had the same certificates and were also denied entry. As for the menu, many favourites were removed INCLUDING THE SENIORS MENU. Half serves were barely $5 cheaper than full size yet served in tiny portions inaccurately balanced with their prices. The font size is also tiny and my grandmother simply couldn’t read it so we had to go through it all for her. Service from some are delightful and genuine, others particularly the front desk are blunt and snappy? Calling out to elderly people across the room to PLEASE PUT YOUR MASK ON SIR in front of the waiting crowd and very much embarrassing people who forget. I would’ve expected an RSL of all places to be most forgiving/understanding towards elderly people; especially since most don’t own electronics to even access check in, MyGov and whatnot. It’s extremely disappointing seeing a once much loved dining experience go downhill so quickly. On a positive note, the food was still delicious, the special nights remain great and the timing of meals was amazing.
