What I ate:
Pork Belly and Soft Egg Pizzas – caramelized onions, smoked mozzarella,
- 8/10
- The bottom of the pizza got soggy very quickly
- The toppings were quite interesting – pairing of caramelized onions, cheese and egg
- I would have preferred more pork belly because there wasn’t much – it seemed more like shredded pork
Steak and frites – NY Steak, garlic herb butter, sea salt fries
- 8/10
- Steak was cooked nicely
- The garlic herb butter went nicely with the steak
- The fries were nicely seasoned
Dead Frog Beer
- 8/10
- My favourite beer out of the 3– yeast flavour wasn’t that strong
33 Acres Beer – Hybrids (Life 4.8%)
- 7.5/10
- Very light beer, good for people who like light beers
Hoyne Beer – Lagers (Off the Grid Red Lager 5.3%)
- 7.5/10
Summary: Service was good, food was standard, view was nice but what’s most important was the company was good.
