This is such a winner in our family. It is usually full and buzzing with families
and it is with great trepidation that we arrive here at 7pm. More often than not we are gently turned away
because tables are all occupied.
However, tonight the place is nearly empty. We sit at a prized window table and marvel at
the emptiness of it all. We put it down
to Dendy Park Carols by candlelight.
To keep the running gag around light shades going, I will not
that the lights are just the stock standard downlights. We sit
at the bare, basic, wooden tables placed
on the old terracotta floor tiles and listen to the phone ringing at the pizza
station at the front of the restaurant.
Not flash, but neither are the prices.
This is the sort of bistro you take your kids to when you can’t be
bothered cooking or need to celebrate the basketball end of season.
Sally orders a pizza and Mark orders a pasta – the usual
yummy fair. I go for something different
and order lamb cutlets. Basically, pasta
or a large pizza is around $15, a bottle of wine at $20 and the lamb cutlets at
$25. So, it is a little bit of Lygon St
but 33% more in price.
By the time I enjoy my tender lamb cutlet, people are
spilling in and the happy murmur of voices ramps up.
Recommended.
