Rubiras at Swallows

When we made lunch catch up plans we didn't realise it was Mother's Day. It's been a long time since we went to Rubiras but I knew they were renowned for their seafood. Our table of 4 was located adjacent to the gas fire so it was a nice setting. Our attentive waitress advised there was flexibility with the item numbers listed on the menu for entrees so we ordered 5 bugs, 4 scallops and chilli prawns. Best for us was definitely the prawns with the bugs next and the scallops in their white sauce.

I researched before I arrived in Victoria to find a really good Fish restaurant. Rubiras came up as the best. Now that I have enjoyed my first visit I want to visit them again.

Booked online for Birthday lunch, requested a quiet table/area (if possible) . . . the area we were seated in, was extremely noisy, we couldn't hear each other, as the nearby tables were ridiculously loud, bogan types. We has 3 waitresses, none of which appeared very friendly at all, not even a smile, it appeared they wanted to be anywhere but there, also disappointing. The food was ok/average, not great, I specifically requested No onion in my meal, yep it came out with onion . . . sadly, my very weary looking waitress was no one to be found. Overall, the experience was very basic, staff lacked enthusiasm, food was ordinary, I just wanted to leave . . . disappointing.
