Liquidity
There’s been a reshuffle at Liquidity, with the kitchen now run by the talented Ricky Keeley. His new Mediterranean influenced menu takes some inspiration from his Grappa days; and is more cohesive, with slightly lower prices overall. Start with a bowl of warm marinated Sicilian and Ligurian Olives ($6.50) enhanced with lemon peel; then progress to a lovely fresh Risotto of Cavalo Nero, Hervey Bay Prawns, semi-dried Tomatoes and Garlic ($22/entrée, $33/main). The fish of the day ($32) when I dined was a whole baby snapper ‘ it was an impressively large well-cooked fish served with fresh lemon, eggplant and caper salsa. On the floor, general manager David Luppino takes care of guests with personality and flair. He’s understandably proud of the new menu, which is served at both lunch and dinner. For lunch he recommends you skip the steaks – Black Angus ($43) or Wagyu Sirloin ($46) ‘ unless of course your boss is particularly understanding. They’re cooked from scratch and take about twenty minutes for a medium. If the sun is shining, David suggests booking. He also suggested a wickedly rich Chocolate Tiramisu ($16.50) with sweet and sour cherries ‘ who was I to argue’
