Springvale’s Greyhounds Entertainment has won a top award.
It received the Best Metro Club Bistro Award at the Community Clubs Victoria (CCV) awards on 16 April.
Dawson’s Bistro is open six days a week for lunch and seven nights for dinner, and on average caters for more than 1200 customers each week.
In its awards submission, the club said its customer base was about 70 per cent senior citizens, so the $12 seniors menu featured about 35 dishes.
“We are also the only venue in the area that provides full table service,” the submission said.
Dawson’s Bistro this year appointed a new food and beverage manager, Rocky Lui.
“He has taken time to train our staff and impart his knowledge onto them and to increase their skills in this area,” the venue said.
The front of the restaurant is set up as a quiet spot for tables of two, three or four diners, while the back half can cater for larger groups.
“Customers who frequent the venue on a regular basis will also request a regular table number for them sit at,” the venue said.
The venue also highlighted its loyalty program, which earns bistro diners one point for each dollar they spend.
There are 4400 members and they can redeem the points on venue vouchers, food and beverage vouchers or Coles Myer vouchers.
