Connors at the Clare Country Club.
We stayed there Friday night, so had dinner booked there too.
On arrival there was a wine tasting in the foyer area. We both declined. I did catch the winery guy telling a couple how to swill it in their mouths to taste a hint of yadda yadda and had a chuckle at the wankyness of the whole thing. (The male of the presumably hetero couple had his shirt unbuttoned all the way to his belly button, and rolled up khaki shorts. Is this a thing?).
Shown to our table, and given a specials menu. Nothing under $28. I had checked the menu while we were in the room, and it is quite expensive.
The restaurant is presented as a fancier place than expected. I had three forks. The waiter was attentive, but spoke very fancy, which seemed forced, and I caught Mrs HH3 answering him back in the same breathy voice. Hilarious.
Mrs HH3 was asked if she wanted still or sparkling table water, of which she selected the sparkling. When we paid, we were charged $9 for a bottle of Mt Franklin, which she has still not gotten over.
Garlic bread - delicious. (Hard to f**k up)
I had the Kangaroo Fillet. When I asked for medium rare, I was told it comes "rare rare". I responded to that with, "Mine will hopefully be medium rare". It came out and was cooked to my liking. It came with a side of sweet potato slices, and beetroot (an unexpected perfect match for the kangaroo) and a walnut feta salad.
Mrs HH3 had the Chicken Ceaser Salad. Basic salad, with grilled chicken and slices of huloumi. The olives in the salad still had the seeds in them, which is kind of annoying when you're trying to enjoy a nice salad without spitting seeds into your bowl.
I had a coke and Mrs HH3 had a Miss Mollys Cider from the tap.
For the two meals, garlic bread, a cider, a coke, and the sparkling water, it was just over $90.
Fairly expensive for what we got, but the setting and service was nice, so we copped it.
We'll probably go there again.
