Restaurant & Pub Reviews

[Lightning McQueen]

I took my daughters to "Little Eately" for lunch on Friday, it's located at Northpark shopping centre taking over the old Caffe Primo premises.

Eldest daughter selected the Ravioli alla milanese which looked a reasonable size and she loved it ($23.90).
Miss 17 selected the Fettuccini Calabrese and she loved it too despite not having any Italian sausage in it as the menu suggested, polished off the remnants and it was nice ($21.90).
I selected the Scallopini monte mare, the veal was two small pieces and very chewy, it came with two prawns and two pieces of calamari too, it was a bit of a rip off although the sauce they use was just brilliant, I'm keen to master what they have done ($25.90).

I won't be rushing back given there is a plethora of cafe's etc. in the Prospect area, if I do though I'll select a more traditional Italian dish, I wish we went to Spargo's in the end.

Couple reviews from weekend of 3/10/2020

Flute & Whistle on Greenhill Rd:

Missus and I with another couple took the kids to the Tree Climb thingy so stopped in here for breakfast. Excellent vibe with some tidy scenery, food and drink was of a very high standard (according to all members of the party). Reasonably priced for the quality produce on offer and staff were friendly and accommodating.

Rating: 8/10

Following night the missus and I spent the evening at the new Adelaide Oval Hotel so ventured into Bespoke for dinner. Overlooking the Oval the setting was excellent. Staff were nice and friendly, although didn't seem to have much of a clue. We decided to get a few meals to share (were dining with another couple, which included (from memory):
- Chargrilled Octopus
- Chargrilled Prawns
- Lamb Ribs
- Fried Potato & Smoked Scallops
- Bowl of Chips
- Mushroom Gnocchi

All foods I would normally enjoy (excluding the Mushrooms, but the Gnocchi itself seemed well cooked) but I found them all to be pretty ordinary. The Occy and Prawns were dry and overcooked, Ribs very good, Scallops far too smoky for my liking. Bowl of Chips probably my favourite.

For the cost involved I found it hugely overrated and ordinarily wouldn't return (however they lost our accom booking and didn't include any of the things they'd advertised, so have given me a voucher for another night there).

Rating 3/10 (Most of those points for the scenic value)

I've heard he is a whizz in the kitchen.

Had an afternoon meeting at Marleston on Friday so got the Mrs to meet me at Glenelg for an early dinner.

Chose SheShells Restaurant on Mosely Street.

We arrived about 5.30 and were the only ones in there for most of our meal.

I got the Scotchy with garlic prawns and Mrs HH3 got the seafood basket. Comes out looking like standard pub food, but f**k me was it good.

Small place tucked away, but itll be our go to if we're in the area now.

My youngest went to a birthday party there a couple of weeks ago.
Excellent set up, very professional & safe. Kids loved it.

We have been wanting to go for a while, but I've been tossing up whether it's worth it - and hadn't heard of anyone who'd actually gone. We have a million kids so these things cost us a fortune - I want my moneys worth.

Oi! @HH3 Do you want your housewarming present or not? By the time I get around to giving it to you, you probably won't live there anymore

Wharfe at Glenelg Marina

A large group of close to 20.

1st visit there.
Upon entrance it looked like a normal marina styled restaurant.
Waitress who looked after our table was brilliant. Very attentive on drinks and all round solid service.

Garlic bread was fairly stock standard, but pleasant
I went with chargrilled lamb backstrap. Apparently served medium rare, mine was just a fraction over, but still nice at $30.
Mrs went with Surf n turf. Packed full of big bastard prawns...i ended up with a good portion of the steak. And it just melted in your mouth. Absolutely magnificent to justify its $55 tag...

Few drinks and it came up just shy of $120.

Service 10/10
Ambience 9/10 a cracking sunset increased the points here
Value 8/10

Went to the Victory hotel in Sellicks last night. Never been there before... It was awesome. Loved the food, the service and sitting outside after our meal with an incredible view...

The Bartley Hotel

Late call at around 6:30 Saturday night to go out for a feed, off we head.

We went to the new Mosaic to give that a go, no good, booked out. Called the Woodville, booked out. Called the Admiral, yep. Said to Mrs and Miss, "The Bartley?". Sure. "Hey Google, call the Bartley Tavern"

Yeah, can we get in for 3 people?

LOL, yeah, that won't be a problem.

Should have been alarm bells.

Roll into the car park around 6:50, it's empty. Bar some around the back for the sports bar / pokies, the place is dead. Go into the bistro, of the 100 odd chairs in there 4 have arses on them. Should have been alarm bells.

Miss went the beef burger, stodgy, gristley, might have been made with the burger binding powder stuff. She ate 20% of the burger itself, most of the bun and salad.

Mrs went the "half" beef schnitzel, dry inside, oily outside, chips under the schnitty, salad looked like it was yesterdays. Ate probably half of it.

I went the "full" slow roasted pork, it was roast pork, but not as you know it, I got two lumps of meat about the size of your fist, not sliced neatly, just two big chunks. Roast spuds, over done, roast carrot, under done, bowl of salad ( WTF? ) covered in vinaigrette that was 80% vinegar and 20% grette. Couldn't be eaten.

Service - 4/10, young chick would have killed to be anywhere else.
Food - 1/10, it was shit.
Over all rating - Don't go there.
