Strangers with Candy - we love it!
THE SETTING Comfort: comfortable atmosphere, physically the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. Service: really good - no 'group' angst. Corkage: only 2.50 per bottle! Restaurant is BYO only, so I suppose they can't go too overboard on it. Prices: Group menu had set prices, which was great, and I think we walked away from a 3-course meal with corkage and coffee for about $47 each - can't argue with that! THE FOOD Main: Wild Barramundi Fillet steamed in a bag with ginger and coriander was the choice of the night (although a HUGE serving), followed by the Tea Smoked Atlantic Salmon, Homemade Ricotta Ravioli and the chicken dish that Becks had. As always, a simple and superlative side serve of mash stole the show. Dessert: Without a doubt the Chocolate Fudge Cake with orange toffee sauce and fresh cream stole the evening. THE best dessert so far. The Lemon Delicious Pudding seemed popular, but I was too busy licking orange toffee off my plate to ask how it was!

 Score 14/20 "You could happily spend all day here, including dinner, but weekends start with a brunch bruschetta laden with prosciutto and balsamic mushrooms, or smoked salmon and horseradish crème, assured coffee and service as bright as the sunshine." Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Breakfast Top 10  Score 14/20 "This former shopfront is home to an engaging eatery. The eclectic charm of comforting wood tones, candle-lit tables and burgundy walls and the warm welcome from staff; not to mention the food, which is consistently appetising." Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007  Score 14/20 "The colours are bold and the name is cheeky, the service chirpy and the food striking. So take something perky or quirky to quaff, chill out in the courtyard or cosy up at the front, and let the pleasures wash all over you." Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide BYO Top 10 2006  "This smartly named restaurant is newly refurbished with banquettes in the front room and other comfy changes." Sydney Eats 2006
