Image: The chefs are whizzes in their open kitchen and we seemingly eat in their bedroom. This house really knows Gen-Y and their foibles, from the wine list of ‘reds to impress’, the four-quarter pizza ‘for the indecisive’” to the moose head in the bar (like hipster hotspot Shady Pines).
The chefs are whizzes in their open kitchen and we seemingly eat in their bedroom. This house really knows Gen-Y and their foibles, from the wine list of ‘reds to impress’, the four-quarter pizza ‘for the indecisive’ to the moose head in the bar (like hipster hotspot Shady Pines). But they’re not all for show, co-owner Anthony knows his apples, and, it seems, his grapes. A glass of Save Our Souls Chardonnay ($9) by the young William Downie is a light drop that hits the spot; “first white he made in Australia”, I’m told. It compliments the Heirloom Tomato and Mozzarella Salad ($18) with red grapes for sweetness and tart balsamic dressing. The Crowded House Pizza ($22) really does have four seasons in one day and comes with a pair of rustic scissors; if it weren’t so tasty I’d call it a gimmick. The Spatchcock ($32) is cooked and butterflied beautifully and has a nice crispy skin but lacks a certain something. Perhaps the gin and elderflower cocktail, ominously called This Drink is a Riot in London ($18), numbed me? It was created pre-August I’m told, so again: not a stunt. This boudoir has a cool nonchalance in the air, but a meticulous menu on the table.
