She only wanted to sausage. Let Booney keep the meat tray.

Either way, she’s obviously not fussy!

Gilhooleys Irish Pub and Restaurant, Brisbane.

Had dinner there last night.
I had the Irish Stew, missus had pigs belly.

Pigs belly was OK but my stew was like water with some meat, carrots and potato thrown in, no flavour.
Pale Ale was $13 for Imperial Pint, Bulmers Cide $9 for normal pint.
Stuffed up our order and overcharged us, eventually got a refund after a 2nd person got involved.
Didnt have NBL, had a replay of a college basketball game instead.
Music was varied and when a good song came on they changed the channel back to a shit song.

The mrs took care of the salad

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.

Nine50 @ Christies Beach, anyone?

Went along Saturday to Nine50 at Christies Beach for my niece's birthday.

About 12 of us so I'm not going to list all the meals.

I went the Seafood Trio, butterfish, S&P squid, panko prawns with chips and salad and imperial pint of Yenda Pale, Mrs Boon the chicken burger and a glass of rose.

Nice big piece of fish, tasted very fresh, squid was in small "sheets" not rings, a little over done and the panko prawns were small but nicely crumbed and tasty. Chicken burger was well put together, nicely grilled piece of chicken, loaded with all the goodies, both came with nice thick cut chips.

Table service was very good, young chick had a great sense of humor, went over and above in most cases ( especially dealing with my pain in the arse brother, I asked her to put him in his place - he didn't say "Please" when asking for a drink and she, with some prompting, asked him "What's the magic word?" ) and she hovered just enough without being annoying.

While we were there for lunch it's more of a bar/restaurant evening place, it wasn't busy at lunch time at all.

Not the cheapest place though Nine50 seafood trio, chicken burger, imperial, rose, $72

Food - 7.5/10 Squid a bit over, prawns a bit small.
Service - 9/10
Atmosphere - 5.5/10 only one other table of people in the place

Overall - 7.5/10

Would I go back again? I'd go back to the location, I'd probably try one of the places either side of Nine50.
