In fact, what's really cool about this place is that they have proper English beers on tap. Okay, I have to admit that I honestly am not a fan of English beers, namely because I just don't like the way they are made (they tend to taste like flat soft drink), but it is still cool that they have them available, no doubt because it makes me feel like I'm actually in England. Yeah, this place is awesome. Oh, and they have a beer garden as well.

This place is absolutely wonderful. What attracted me here was the fond reviews I've red over…read moreGoogle for this place. So after struggling to find a decent Chinese restaurant in the berbs, I did have high expectations for this gem. Although the street appeal probably isn't anything to woo at, and inside is a tad bit dated, yet is still humble in a family restaurant kind of way. I feel it may have been the owners who were working the front of house, and they were both lovely. They clearly have been in the business a while and did a good job and making us feel comfortable, and giving us a little giggle as well. The menu had heaps of choose from. Seemed as if there were a few extra options compared to other basic Chinese restaurants, including a traditional and western dessert menu. I had the Chicken Satay dish off the chef special menu. It was amazing. The sauce was flavoursome and certainly didn't seem like out of a jar type of thing. It was served with broccoli pieces as well as a little burning flame in the middle of the plate. My partner had the Sizzling Steak Mongolian style dish and the pieces were tender and juicy, with lovely sweet and tangy Mongolian flavours through-out. The plate was also served with vegetables. I love this place. It's my new found gem. I've been searching a while for a nice place to grab some quality Chinese food, and I think I've found my stop. This place isn't anything designer or high-end perhaps, but it still possess a charming old-school look and humble home-style meals, which is something I look when dining at Asian restaurants in the berbs.

It offers exquisite food and service at cafe prices and the whole experience is amazing. The food here is made with locally grown, seasonal produce to ensure the freshest ingredients every time. This also means that the menu changes seasonally and will surprise you every time you visit. The Scrambled Eggs with Lobster Cream Jelly is a must-order dish! It's a very tasty dish with all the flavors intertwined without being overpowering and with just the right mix. The roasted butternut squash was also great with macadamia nuts and miso mayo. I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but I thought it was delicious. One thing I really like about this place is that they have a beautiful garden. You can go for a walk there after your meal and experience it.

The food was fairly tasty but the one big let down was the portion size of the mains. We ordered two different types of pasta and the portion sizes were what would pass as entrees in most Italian restaurants. Also the crab tagliatelle that we ordered was supposed to have chilli in it but there was no chilli obvious to the tastebuds nor the eye. One main concern was that they asked if we had the entertainment card during booking. Perhaps this was the reason for the small serving size? Do yourselves a favour and if you're asked the same question, say no (just in case). The dessert platter is a good one to try because for $22, it's a good way for 2 people to try a variety of desserts, although we couldn't get a spoon or fork through the meringue. Service was friendly and helpful at least! They also have an extensive wine list.

Today the team were at The Pickled Duck…read more Ever since I've been writing this blog, I've had recommendations to visit The Pickled Duck. Today, as we found ourselves in the area we thought, why not? It was a strange time to be eating - 3.30pm. We had both missed lunch and didn't want to wait three hours or so for dinner but The Pickled Duck have all day dining so that was helpful! The first thing we noticed as we walked in was how large and clean the restaurant was. High ceilings and heavy wood featured in the decor giving us a relaxed, family style restaurant feeling. Maybe something Mike Brady from the Brady Bunch would have designed. It made us feel comfortable! We were given menus and told to come up to the bar when we were ready to order. The menu itself was simple and easy to understand. They mostly have burgers, pizza's and a few salads as well. They also had desserts on the menu, including dessert pizzas! From what I had heard, burgers were the specialty so I was eager to try one. Hubby decided to go for some sliders so that he could get a good idea of what a few different burgers would taste like. I think the slider option is a great one for exactly that reason and on this menu you were able to order as many as you want, starting from just one which is great if you have someone with a small appetite in your party. The restaurant is next to a bottle shop and they have a joining door which could prove to be handy. They encourage their diners to take advantage of the wine cellar where they showcase a fine collection of Australian and world renowned wines. They also have a unique selection of craft beers from some of the finest South Australian microbreweries. I did think there were lots of great options on the wine menu and ordered one of my favourites. I did feel a little disappointed when the meals came out. In retrospect, they were very filling and I'm sure the size would be big enough for the average diner but my first impression was that it was a little small. I ordered the Swiss Beef Burger. Beef, sautéed swiss mushrooms, caramelised onions, rocket, gorgonzola cheese sauce. It was such a tasty little package!! The meat was just gorgeously seasoned and the caramelised onions.. mmmm is there a more perfect combination? They weren't stingy on the muchrooms either and together, it was really a delight to eat. Hubby was both amused and horrified as he watched me trying to eat this with sauces dripping down my fingers and smeared on my face. But that's got to tell you that what you're eating is good right?? He made a really good choice ordering the four sliders. BEEF SLIDER- smoky BBQ onion jam PORK SLIDER- asian slaw, baja sauce DUCK SLIDER- pickled green onion, carrot slaw CHICKEN SLIDER -smashed avocado, rocket He started off with the pork slider. He said he found it a little dry but it was still very good and tasty. The next one he tried was the beef slider and that was such a brilliant explosion of taste in his mouth that he decided to keep that one till last. He loved the bbq sauce - He said it reminded him of bbq ribs. His third slider was the chicken slider. He said that was delicious also and was smothered in mayonnaise. Last of all was the duck slider. We had forgotten that was one of the options and as we don't often eat duck, were interested in how it would taste. Hubby said it was nice but not his favourite. I'm not into pickled onions in my burgers so I don't think I would have liked this one myself. We also ordered some wedges and I'm just mentioning them as surprisingly, we even had a little sour cream and chili left over after the wedges were gone... That never happens!! I liked that the server came to check on us to make sure everything was as we'd ordered. I had told him that I'd heard good things about this place and he said must have been because of his great service which I thought was a good response! All in all we had a nice time at The Pickled Duck. The food is definitely above average and you can tell they really care about what they're going to present you. Definitely a recommend from me!
