During COVID, the setup was rearranged and looks clean and uncluttered - minimalism at its best - very COVID safe. I dined here a few times while staying in Warrnambool. I was informed that they just changed their menu, and any feedback was appreciated.
The Chefs Johnny and Bryce, accompanied by apprentice chef Mario will surprise you with their plating, food combinations and tasty selections.
The entrees/firsts/starters - were enough to keep me pleasantly happy for most of my stay. Prices varied from $10 - $16, which is very reasonable; servings are on the generous side.
Recommendations: [Favs - 2, 4 & 6]
1. Garlic Cheese Sourdough - reminded me of a toastie. It goes great with beer!
2. Charcuterie Board - not boring, or same as others you receive - the beetroot chutney and chicken pate were the standouts. The cured meats - some not to my liking, but overall nice. The dried fruits went well with the chutney and dip - especially the apple.
3. Lamb Cutlets - interesting, modern presentation, with roasted cherry tomatoes, minted yoghurt and dukkah. Cutlets cooked to perfection.
4. Stuffed Mushrooms - yummy goodness - beetroot chutney, roasted pumpkin, garlic, pine nuts, thyme and spinach. [Perfect meal the night before driving long distances - not heavy].
5. Bao Buns - soft buns, not dry, thinly sliced pork belly [easier to bite], sticky sauce and amply dressed slaw - went well with the mushrooms [no.4] and a beer.
6. Seared Scallops - tried as a main, but this version was better - sweet potato mash, asparagus spears with small pieces of crunchy onion, feta and lime dressing. This was so tasty and my meal of the Warrnambool trip.
Honourable mentions - the pannacotta - give it it a try - perfect wobble accompanied with cream, but not sure about the sugar shard...Flavours change - be surprised! The churros were good, but the pannacotta was better.
Book a table [highly recommended, as they were booked out when I was there] and try and get the window seat to watch the incredible sunsets. It is one of the best 'on-the-road dining experiences I have had in a while. YUM! See less
