Restaurant & Pub Reviews

Popped in to NOLA on Saturday night.

They have an extensive range of craft beers/ciders/ginger beers (bottled and tapped) and a small menu based on New Orleans styled dishes.

We shared plates of meatballs, fried chicken, corn & bean salad, and rabbit & sausage jambalaya. It was all ******* delicious. Fresh ingredients, dishes bursting with spices and flavour and not too ridiculously priced.

9.5/10 - I took a half a point off because the dishes aren't big, but the price somewhat reflects that.

Awesome, Ive been wanting to try that place out, so its good to hear its decent

Another fine dining experience at the Pancake Kitchen enjoyed the German Feast with Irish coffee once again

It is good value hey? Very filling too for the $14.

Very much so I've gone in there a couple of times now thinking I'll do two of them then get halfway through the pancakes accept defeat and end up barely finishing it.

My recent attempt was after about a dozen beers at the pub, went through a bottle of Jacks after that, snuck in 2 hours kip and then thought I'd demolish breakfast, I still had one complete pancake and a half a kransky that I couldn't for the life of me digest.

Burger Foundry, Torrensville.
Have been here probably a dozen times, always good...... until today.
Walk in & the place is hot, no air con? It's filled with smoke from the kitchen grill, no exhaust fan?
I don't recognise any of the staff serving or cooking. I can here other customers who aren't happy about the "conditions".
I'm here now I thought, order your lunch & toughen up. I have the same burger every time, The K Burger with beef patty, mozzarella cheese, bacon, kimchi, runny egg & extra sriracha sauce - hold the lettuce.
It comes out & straight away looks much smaller in height than usual. They forgot the bacon, the kimchi was virtually non-existent & the patty seems to have reduced as well. Couldn't be arsed sending it back, I hadn't eaten all day and was hungry.
Told the bloke what I thought as I left, but I will go back & give it another crack as they do have previous points on the board with me.

Today though, they get a 3/10.

Anyone tried the new burger place on Semaphore Road, near Copenhagen? It's called Barrys.

Anyone tried the new burger place on Semaphore Road, near Copenhagen? It's called Barrys.

Went there a week or so ago.

Was tasty. Small burger though. But only been there once and ordered their cheese burger cos it had Camembert and I love that stuff.

Sweet potato chips were good, but standard burger joint SP chips.

They do mention on the menu to add extras to burger if you have a big appetite, not sure the costs on that, could add up quick. But then their other burgers could be bigger than the one I got too.

Worth a look out of curiosity anyway, at least that's what I did.

Bread & Bone.

Sweet baby Jesus of Nazareth. Had a succulent double cheeseburger, juicy onion rings and the tastiest fried chicken I can even remember and washed it down with an IPA. Gotta go back there asap.

Went here a couple of nights ago, and have to agree with the above.

I had a straight up cheeseburger, and the patty was absolutely delicious, and it came with a generous helping of tasty french fries to boot. Good price, around the $14 mark. Onion rings were yummy too.

Definitely subscribes to the hipster philosophy, as do most venues on Peel Street. Atmosphere was not too bad, not too noisy although it was pretty early in the evening (about 6pm-ish). I imagine it'd get quite loud in there later on a Friday night.

I'm not a fan bench-style tables where you have to eat within close proximity of other people. I know it's a more informal place, but I feel like I'm being forced to eat and socialise with complete strangers. It's worse at more 'fancy' establishments' Anyway, I digress.

Didn't try the desserts, but the ones coming out from the kitchen looked alright.

Definitely one if you love your burgers. I'm not really on who hunts out these fancy burger places, I'm happy with something sloppy from the local fish and chip shop. Having said that, it's bloody good and deserves an 8.5 out of 10.

Bath Hotel - Work Christmas lunch there yesterday.

Food started really well with S&P Squid with an excellent Chilli Aoili. Others ordered Arancini Balls that looked good, and Lamb Ribs that were huge for an entree.

Sadly, it went downhill from there. The Butchers Cut I had was a decent size, but just an ordinary cut of meat and only cooked medium, whereas I like it a bit bloodier than that. Others had Gnocchi (which received terrible feedback, with noone even eating half of their serve) and Fish and Chips, which was pretty basic - Again good sized portions, but most who had it didn't eat a lot.

Service was pretty slow, sometimes waiting over 20 minutes from order to get a drink.

Scenery however was outstanding - On a nice day it's worth going there for that alone.

All in all 5/10 .. Closer to a 3 without the visual delights.

I've never been a big fan of the Bath. How were the prices? My recollection is that it's not a cheap venue.

Veering slightly off topic, the pick of the Norwood pubs for mine is the Colonist, for beer, vibe, and food.

[JK]

We had a set-menu so not sure of the pricing mate .. Colonist has been good for a few years now, not that I've been there very often. I've always enjoyed the Norwood/Finns, but again hardly get in there these days.

Yeah, not a bad spot to go pre and post Norwood Oval footy. The tacked on Irish theme doesn't do much for me, though. Can't divorce it from the nightclub out the back in the 1990s, though. Not sure if that's good or bad!

I reckon there are a few posters who either live near or frequent the Barossa restaurants. I have booked a romantic sexy time holiday in Tanunda for Myself and Mrs Wristy. It shall be more than Wristys on that holiday.

I was surprised to see so many vouchers in the various sections of the entertainment book for Tanunda and the surrounding areas. I don't remember reading many reviews from the area. Does anyone have any recommendations.

For somewhere special go to "Ferment Asian " in the main street of Tanunda. Asian 7 course menu with an excellent wine list. Expensive but definitely worth it.

Sounds good minus the wines. A couple at the wineries will be enough for me. I reckon that might be a goer. Cheers for the tip.

Have you ever eaten at Barossa Weintal Hotel. It's in the Gold section, looks alright on paper?

Vintners Bar & Grill in Angaston is a good one.

Cheers Benny, will have a look at the menus of these places and make some choices. Hope the new addition is going well.

Ha ha- first place I picked up, and first place i tried Green Chartreuse. Further experimentation proved the 2 were not related...
