Wife and I decided to take a trip in to Gawler for a couple of bevvies and dinner Saturday night.
Had heard many good things about the Golden Fleece so in was a unanimous decision to give it a whirl.
Immediate service was brilliant, we didn't have a booking and they were full but there was a table that a few guests weren't showing up so that group was fine with the staff splitting the table so we could dine by ourselves.
The waitress took our drinks order straight away and was back within the minute with them.
First thoughts were "it's a bit pricey" but we proceeded to order a Salt and Pepper Squid entree to share and then I took the 300gm Scotch Fillet, Mrs Mc took the Warm Dukkha Lamb Salad.
The entree was a fair size, it was $16 where the main's one was $20, very tasty, nice salad and the chips were nice too.
Mrs Mc's lamb salad was huge, plenty of lamb there, probably nearly as much meat as my Scotch Fillet, that was $22 and very nice.
My Steak was cooked to perfection, served on top of 3 potato rosti's that were amazing along with some greens, the meat had some unknown glaze cooked through it and was simply awesome.
In hindsight, we shouldn't have got the entree as we struggled through the mains but I'd probably go the squid as a main next time.
$115 all up for them 3 dishes, 3 Stella's for me and two champers for the wife.
Service: 10/10. The waitress was brilliant, genuinely cared what we thought of the food and encouraged us to say something if we weren't happy, kept an eye on our drink levels too.
Price: 9/10. The proportions matched the prices well.
Atmosphere 10/10. The place is it's own mall, we managed to score a table in the main dining area, directly near one of the big screens though which unfortunately had the footy playing on it.
After going to the Kingsford for a couple first we decided to stick around for a couple more at the GF, I chucked $8 in the Indian Dreaming poker machine and took out $50, that was after checking my phone account after umpiring and seeing that I'd won $190 in the last at Eagle Farm, was a good finish after a grueling forgettable day as a maggot.
