27th October 2011
As a congratulations for completing my advanced diploma of financial service, my boss took me for lunch. As we were in the city for a work presentation, we decided to go to a place in South bank and decided on number 8.
After being offered some warm bread accompanied by one carrot and one eggplant puree and given the reasonably extensive wine list, we given a food menu featuring two options. There was the full al a carte menu and the lunch special which offered excellent value with 2 course and a side for less than $50.
For entree i went with the ocean trout orechiette. Well cooked fish sitting on a bed of pasta with some melted butter running through it and a great sauce.
For main i went with a veal rib eye steak sitting on a bed of vegetables with a jus and my chosen side of whipped mash. The mash was great with smooth buttery texture and flavour and the veal rib eye was a nice cut of meat and cooked reasonably well.
A good value lunch special (even better value for me given being treated by my boss) and a solid amount and quality of options on offer. It did fall short of the level of cooking and service shown at the majority of the Italian restaurants on my list but was still an great meal and a good way to celebrate.
