What Katherine Escobar likes about Sawyers Arms Tavern:
Brilliant food had roasted duck with Moroccan inspired lentils . Highly recommended . lovely atmosphere too. We live two hours away but will go again when we're in geelong View all feedback. What Omer Kunde doesn't like about Sawyers Arms Tavern:
great service, beautiful atmosphere, good selection of drinks, but very overpriced diners choice with a very cheap cut of scotch fillet on a bed maic. could have been perfect if also the food proportions and quality. that's not a good food, no matter how to dress it. one of the three served the flesh back, because if not it had been a catastrophe. the manager had to ask.

The restaurant received mixed reviews from customers, with some praising the great service, beautiful atmosphere, and good selection of drinks. However, there were complaints about the overpriced food choices, particularly a cheap cut of Scotch Fillet. Despite this, some customers enjoyed their meals, with highlights including the ricotta gnocchi, eye fillet, and lamb rump. One customer described it as the best pub meal in Geelong, while another praised the friendly staff and delicious food. Overall, the atmosphere was enjoyable, although some felt the interior could use a minor revamp. The restaurant is recommended for those looking for a nice dining experience in Geelong.
