These were the items we ordered :
Tomato & Bacon Soup $6.50
This was soup of the day. Rich & thick soup, it is so flavourful and chock full of vegetables. While we really enjoyed the soup, we had to stop ourselves from ordering one for each of us, as we wanted to save space for the mains & desserts.
Seafood Spaghetti Marinara $19.95
This pasta is served with prawns, calamari, crabmeat and olives. They were OK to exclude calamari & olives, which my daughter dislike. Portion was big, taste wise ok, though smell of crabmeat is a little strong.
Piglet Pizza $18.50
Pizza with ham, mushroom, onions and mozarella cheese. Dough was biscuit-like and thin.
Barbequed Baby Ribs $19.95
This was about half slab, served with choice of foil-baked potato or fragrant rice. Meat fell off easily from the bones. The downside - not very hot, it was like just warmed from a microwave oven, rather than freshly BBQ'd (or baked in oven) & served piping hot.
Pan-Seared Sirloin Steak $24.95
This was served with mashed potatoes, topped with roasted field mushrooms and green pepper butter. I asked for medium well, about 70% doneness, but it came out quite rare, still very red inside. Again, this dish was just warm, like it had been left standing for awhile before it was served.
While the steak is nothing to shout about, being quite tasteless, if not for the gravy, they were quite generous with the mushrooms.
Baileys Me! (for that extra zing) $14.95
Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake and French Vanilla ice cream drizzled with Baileys. The Baileys Irish cream was served separately in a small saucer, to be drizzled over the ice cream.
The Baileys in the cake is quite discernable. With it's alcohol content, a teetotellar may find it intoxicating.
