Tumby Bay Htl
First up got to say not the best night to go as not long after we ordered the whole town lost Power in those storms - fix it Jai
Schnitzel night four schnitties eaten in darkness - apparently the visitors didn't need a candle but the large table of locals got three and the empty table next to us got one
The ordering was chaotic - can we get a table number? "I'll bring it over" wait for a while go up and order despite being in a queue a local to the side of the queue side get's there order taken before u. "What's your table number?" - um we're still waiting for you to bring it over..... In her defence it was just her taking orders, trying to man the bar and one other girl doing table service.
Schnitty's on the small side, OK for pub food 4/10 with some marks given for having to cope with the blackout. reminded me of an ALM pub.
Seabreeze hotel
Having lighting was a bonus - the large windows over looking the gulf helped with the ambiance and the power being on helped.
Fri nite Steak night so i went the rump, Missus crumbed whiting, Miss am bays salt and pepper squid Mst am bays schnitty with sauce.
My steak was a poor cut and fatty cooked OK more rare than the medium rare IMO that I ordered but still within the realms of how I like it. I stuffed up ordering the Dianne sauce - should have gone the mushroom.
Missus loved her fish. S&P squid over-cooked (not uncommon) and the schnitty was devoured.
Service much better largely due to having more staff - maybe the bloke was supposed to be in the bar but he was having a crack at the bar wenches....
6/10.
Over all good spot Tumby Bay we'll be back to to both pubs next time one to see if it was just a one off and the other to get the mushroom gravy next time.
Modra's apartments are good to stay at.
Getting orders right is a challenge not unique to the TBH either - Sat nite we went to have a BBQ in in the grounds of the apartments so went and Ordered three porterhouse and one Rib eye. Go to fire up the BBQ and the local yokel apprentice couldn't count past two porterhouse. So my rib eye got cut into two porterhouses....

On a positive note, The Broadway at Glenelg is like what the Kensington used to be and I've got to give the thumbs up to the Wellington hotel in North Adelaide as well as the Hampstead Hotel which has great value and is definitely one of the better punting setups in Adelaide

Most pubs are doing that it seems. I'm a plain food man and now every dish seems to be full of strange bits and pieces of currently fashionable muck I don't want to eat, let alone pay more for it!

100% spot on, and it's been happening for quite a while now IMHO. Pubs aren't restaurants and shouldn't try to be, plain and simple.
As far as the Kensington is concerned, never really thought much of it. Always preferred the Rising Sun, although that's a bit different - a pub with a restaurant attached (and a bloody good one too).
