Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
Greek on Halifax Saturday night, my favourite restaurant in SA, pricey but the food is just brilliant.
Started off with the Four Island Mixed Dip Platter then took the Mixed Platter for mains (Prawns, calamari, octopus, lamb yiros, lamb cutlets and chicken souvlaki).
2 reds, 2 coronas.
$219 all up, we were going to go the Seafood Platter which was $25 cheaper only because of the Moreton Bay Bugs, we decided we'll just go back and get them separately another time.
Service and food was impeccable as per usual, the Elvis album playing softly in the background set it off nicely too.

Can confirm that Bangcoq Thai Fried Chicken on Unley Rd is right up there as the best Take Away I’ve ever had.... Seriously good!
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
If you're ever looking for a place to have a feed in Gawler you must consider "The Golden Fleece".
Went there again on Saturday evening and it didn't take long to remember why I chose to go there.
Got a S&P Squid to share as an entree and it would suffice as a meal on it's own ($16).
Selected the 300gm Scotch Fillet served with smashed potatoes, broccolini, red onion, cherry tomatoes topped with a red wine sauce, it was cooked to perfection.
The Spanish styled chicken looked the part and tasted just as good.
It is an ideal location, the pizza's looked pretty tasty also.

Had f*** all to do with their pies or hot food in general.
You're pretty blessed down your way too with the Port Elliott bakery, other ones of note are the Port Wakefield bakery and Yorketown bakery, wasn't a fan of the Bakery on O'Connell or Ardossan bakery, this is purely based on Peppered Steak pies.

Kipling's at Port Wakefield is severely underrated.

Not by me.

Spent the ANZAC weekend at Port Elliot. Was in the bakery within minutes of arriving. Huge queue out the front but fast moving, they have their system worked out to a tee.

Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
Crystal Brook and Barmera are my favourite bakeries.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

All of those bakeries are very good. We are spoilt for choice.
Ill throw Two Wells bakery in the mix. Is easily up there with all of those above.

If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

Port Elliot is massively over rated, head to Middleton if you are down that way.

That's because you eat the wrong type of pie mate. Give me steak + mushroom over pepper steak anyday of the week.

Shit yeah, although they used to burn me, I'd hang off eating all day if I was umpiring a 17's and B's game only to go there and they closed at 2 on Saturdays.

I just can't seem to like mushroom in a pie, I know I'm pretty alone in that department.

Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
Not in our state but I had to go to Yatala in Queensland for work, a dude from up there took me to the Yatala Bakery and I seen the pies were $7+, I thought WTF?
I should've tweaked to how busy they were and how many people worked there, these pies were brilliant, and huge.
