Walking in it can be quite awkward if someone is sitting at the table directly on the left of the door (which there were - they were in the process of leaving which made it even more awkward) they've certainly utilised the max space they could when decided where tables can go. I personally wouldn't have the tables there - especially in the case of "runners". The bar/restaurant itself is really spacious. The bar takes up a lot of room is so many beer taps you would definately have a hard time choosing a drop - especially if you are quite a boutique beer house virgin. Which I am.
We were seated in the dining area which is quite seperate from the main bar. There are gold trellis type walls in between allowing for some flow between the areas and the windows provide a nice view of.. Traffic. I chose the salt and pepper squid and Mister got the meat feast pizza (both $15.00). The squid itself was really tasty and was served with fries and a small amount of salad - dressed with a muy delicious balsamic vinegar. The crumbing tasted like potato crumbing similar to the style they have at Gotham except done to perfection. The pizza left a lot of be desire with the toppings and was missing a sauce ie BBQ, sweet chilli or even just more tomato base. The crust/base was AMAZING. Perfectly crunchy. Nom nom nom!
To drink Mister had an Asahi beer and I had a glass of Mt Difficulty Riesling - which doesn't feature by the glass on the menu, normally $44.00 a bottle, but they were out of the Penfolds which was my original choice. Riesling really is the new Sav. Sav is soooo two years ago. Even Pinot Gris has had its time in the spotlight. Sav is so totally over - but that is a whole other issue. After everything all we had to pay was $8.50 making a very cheap night out.
Come on, buy me a bottle of Mt Difficulty Riesling
