The WaterFront


The WaterFront

Restaurant Aesthetics
This week I travelled to the Rocks in Darling harbor to revisit on of my personal favourite restaurants of all time Waterfront, unlike the previous dining environments the owners of the waterfront present a upmarket and sophisticated dining experience, encompasses with highly trained waiters, chefs and a spectacular view of the Harbour Bridge. The outdoor environment allows for cool winds to pass through whilst also sheltering you from undesirable weather such as rain.

Food and serviceUpon arrival we were quickly greeted at the front entrance with a minor but nice conversation about how we got there and if we were doing well, before being quickly allocated a table and greeted by a waiter. We were then given a brief explanation of the menu including specials and recommended dishes and wines that the waiter believed would suit our taste. The prices of the Waterfront range from $15 all the way up to $230 for a seafood plater however the menus are rapidly changing to suit the time of year and changes in consumer tastes, my partner and I decided on an cold meats dish for the starters with a small salad, and for the main a lamb shoulder and a quiche with vegetables, to drink we had the recommended red wine. Overall the meal was cooked perfectly and the wine added a huge amount of flavour after each bite of our meals. In total the night costed $230 but it was well worth it, the total dining experience is one that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in good food.

Final thoughts
Again another great dining experience, similar to Critinis  the food was incredible and the service was effective and well thought out. Overall the restaurant has proved again to me why it is one of my favourites of all time, I would strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to spend a bit more for quality food and quality service. Clearly 5/5

TC brothers- Pizza, Kebabs & HSP

On the 10th of April I visited TC brothers on Canterbury Road, the business is well known with its area for top of the line pizzas, kebabs and HSPs. As far as unbalanced diets go for university students mine ranks amongst the best, so immediately this sparked my interest. The businesses location is very easy to locate as it faces a very high traffic road which leads in and out of Bansktown whilst also connecting many other small suburbs. Upon entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted with  a friend face and a conversation sparked. The colloquialism of the staff was funny and it was clear that a sense of humor and commitment to customer satisfaction was important. The extensive menu covered all forms of meat, in styles such as pizzas, kebabs, HSPS and even offered alternative dietary options such as vegetarian. The prices ranged from as low as $8 for a basic HSP to $22 for a full sized family pizza (to which I naturally purchased...

Beachfront Bistro - Murramarang Beach

Recently I traveled roughly 4 hours south of Sydney to a quaint beach town, Durras. During this visit, there really weren't a lot of food options available, however our Airbnb hosts highly recommended the local Holiday Resort, in particular the Beachfront Bistro. We had eaten along the way so we really weren't overly hungry, but thought we'd stop in for a drink or two, and later we were tempted into a gorgeously presented dessert. The Location: Located on the beachfront of one of the most isolated and crystal clear beaches I've come across in Australia. I would say that the Restaurant's primary benefit is the gorgeous location it's situated in. The venue itself however may not be appealing to some due to it's rather integrated construction with the Hotel infrastructure. If you're looking for a place that truly feels like a "date" - this venue might not be ideal, as there were a fair few children who were staying with their parents for a c...

Encasa Restaurant

I've moved to lane cove just in the past few months, so the area is relatively new to me and I'm eager to find all the best food spots around my house. In particular stood out a tiny Spanish Tapas restaurant, Encasa. The Location: Located one the Lane Cove Village's main strip, Encasa Restaurant has a quaint charm to it's setting. There's a handful of outdoor tables setup, however the atmosphere is very vibrant within the restaurant itself. I believe during the day it functions sort of like a delicatessen, as they offer several high quality meats & cheeses in a display. The Service/Food Quality: I found the staff at Encasa to be overall very attentive however, they were completely overbooked and very crowded, as to be expected for a Friday night I suppose. We booked a table for 9pm, which we thought wouldn't be an issue since it was so late in the evening, yet the place was still completely packed. To make up for the fact that our table was not ...
