Restaurant & Pub Reviews

[The Dark Knight]

Largs Pier Hotel, we went there for dinner as a family for Mum's birthday on Monday night.

Knowing the do pretty good pizza's there I went with a Mediterranean Chicken pizza. I wasn't disappointed, it was very nice. The Moroccan Chicken pizza I had from the Gully is the best pizza I've ever had, so if that's a 10/10 I would give my Mediterranean Chicken pizza an 8. Got some Garlic bread to go with it and would give that an 7.5.

My sister and brother's girlfriend had chicken schnitzels (standard and boring), mum had Fish and Chips, sisters best mate had the Chef's Signature Pasta (that looked really good) and my brother had a Salty Pig pizza (also looked the goods). All very decent serving sizes and everyone was very happy with their meals.

The pier has always had pretty decent food that you can't go wrong with and they don't skimp on the serving sizes.

The Cheeky Greek at Grange (opposite the pub on Seaview Rd). Yiros' are different from the usual Ozzie version, but freakin awesome. Owners are a ripping family too, if you're in the area I highly recommend giving them a go.

Under recommendation from Spargo, we ventured in to the Star of the West in Port Fairy tonight.

Only three other small groups in a huge dining room made it feel a bit flat, but i got the closest chair to the fireplace, so it turned out to be a good thing.

The menu was pretty much standard pub food. Schnitzels only came in chicken flavour, which we found odd.

The mushroom gravy was a bit different to what im used to. A lot darker and richer. Not like the buttery stuff we get at home.

$19 a schnitzel, $7 Bundy (no spiced rums) and a water, came to $45, which is $15 more than i can pay in Adelaide. Being on holiday, I didn't mind throwing a bit of cash around though.

The salad bar was stocked with all the normals. Nothing special, but nothing missing.

All in all, it was a standard pub meal in a standard pub.

Can't fault them for anything. Maybe the review wouldve been better if Id tried something special, but I needed a schnitty in me.

8/10

Establishment 1858/The White House in Hahndorf.
Medium-sized gourmet burgers for $12-14. Greek Oregano salt on the fries, $3 with burger or $5 bowl. Only half a dozen options on the menu, which they do properly.
Been there for lunch a couple of times. 9.5/10.

The Ed Mitcham

Went back on Fri nite after a poor experience there a few years earlier.

No better really

Staff were very good early all over us three different people wanting to check if were ready to make drinks/food orders (no body has a designated section??)

Food seemed to take longer than normal to come for four schnitties (3 chicken 1 beef)

There was a delay in the missus coming out as they put normal gravy on it (she wanted pepper).

Her new one came out five min after mine but was for a beef schnitty was tougher than bird pooh on a car roof in a February heat wave.

Kids and mine were OK but nothing spectacular junior miss am bays thought her gravy tasted a bit funny

Four schnitties, two wines, four softies and 1 beer with Ent voucher came to $90.

All in all 5/10 with a bonus point for chips being to the side of the schnitties

We'll wait another five years before we go back

Went for dinner at Bar Torino on Saturday night. Was packed and didn't have a reservation and was about to leave but a waitress found a sweet little table for two just in time.

Shared a cutla dishes. Lamb and haloumi skewers....super tender, and the yoghurt sauce was amazing, a solid 8/10, but fairly standard kinda dish. Went for the special as well...slow cooked duck leg with chimmi churri sauce and corn salsa, which was a legitimate 10/10 dish, absolute flavour country. Washed em down with a local Pinot Noir.

Highly recommend. Probs a great place for a drink and some tapas if you're wandering down Hutt St during the arvo.

Ellenika's at the Glenelg Pier.

Was recommended by a friend (with a Greek hubby) so the missus and I checked it out for our date night. Food was beautiful, atmosphere good and service excellent. We shared an Appetiser, 2 x Entree's and 1 x Main, and couldn't quite finish it all. Missus had a coupla wines, I stuck to the mineral water. With the entertainment voucher came to about $82, so imho was really well priced and the lamb was as good as I've had.

8.0/10

Not a restaurant as such, but finally got around to trying Roll On Bower yesterday .. Had been hanging to try a pup from this place for ages, but went the Pad Thai instead whilst the better half went the Laksa. Mine was a good as any I've had before and the missus raved about the Laksa. I know most Western Suburbs folk are already aware of the place, but if you haven't tried it, I'd highly recommend.

Was the red head behind the counter? Saturday, hot out, shorts. Top notch.

Nup .. I had a good scour of the place because I'd heard there was some visual splendor, but alas, no dice

The Espy Brighton last Fri for lunch

ALM pub so you go in with low expectations

Ate in the bistro section we both ordered the trio of seafood dish (battered fish, salt and pepper squaid and prawn skewer, chips and salad)

Cardonay for her my usual for me (PINT)

Fish was OK, prawns were good, the salt and pepper squid wouldn't have looked out of place in Beaurepaires (I dropped a piece on the floor and it came back up and landed on the plate....)

Two mains two drinks came to $70, Ent voucher applied twice (see thing I rate thread) bill came down to $35

6/10 with a bonus point for each time the Ent voucher was applied....

The Donald Trump Speakeasy was on that day, so went that. Double beef, double American cheese, a hash brown, bacon, fried onions, pickles ketchup and American mustard. Was huge, might just go the regular burger next time as I felt sick on the way home, maybe with a shake as had a soft drink this time. Burger was just too good to put down and leave though. Loved the seasoning on the hashtag fries too.

Very nice, I saw the photo of that, sounds/looked like an epic feed!! Seeing the photos of the daily Speakeasy is a constant reminder that I have to go back there!

Either the proprietor is a former Geelong coach, or you should've come out with a house and land package.
