Jarmers at Bowden.
Went among a group of 7 adults and 3 children for lunch on Sunday afternoon.
Food was exceptional, and better priced than I'd thought it would be.
We shared a couple of boards to kick off with, included Olives (puke), Duck croquet type things, Arincini Balls and grilled Chorizo. All good in the hood!
For Main I went with a Chilli Crab Linguine that was outstanding, and at $24 pretty reasonably priced I reckon. I couldn't finish it all, so whilst not a big eater, it was a solid serving size.
There was plenty of Wine and Champagne for the girls, and Beers and Bourbon for the lads. Bill came to about $450, but the grogs took that so high. Everyone loved their food.
Now to the establishment itself .. We had a table in a separate/secluded section, in what was an awesome setup. The kids played on the free totem tennis sets outside before we came in, and no sooner had we sat down than the staff delivered cookie dough. rolling pins and sprinkles (M&M's etc) for the kids to design their own cookies, that were baked for them not long after. They were provided with board games and colouring sets. The staff could not have been more helpful and were great for a bit of banter - Even chucked the Cricket on the Telly for us whilst downing a few post-meal ales.
I seriously could not recommend this place more highly - Easily the best dining experience of 2016 for us. They have such a great committment toward family values, and all seemed invested in the ethos of old man Jarmer the original founder.
Rating 9.5/10 (And the only reason I can't give a 10 is in case something better comes along)
