One day at a time

Had a entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable lunch at Joseph restaurant at the Mansion hotel in Werribee. Excellent food and outstanding service, the only fault was a minor mistake on the bill, which was quickly corrected.

Had a very nice dinner at Sugarcane thai restaurant in South Melbourne with my best mate Dave. The food was very good and plentiful, with attentive and speedy service. Discovered that it is a small work and Dave had met some of the guys the I have been in contact with. Posted via Blogaway

There is always a problem when a favourite place changes hands. This is particularly true of restaurants and one of my favourite ones has changed and not entire for the better. I had one of my best birthday dinners there, but that was several years ago and a different owner ago. The food wasn't appalling, but not very appealing either. One good point was the coffees which were apparently very good, not be being a coffee expert I couldn't really tell. The service was attentive if inexperienced. Still he managed to get both the order and bill correct. The interior hadn't changed significantly but the atmosphere had gone. Posted via Blogaway Posted via Blogaway

De Bortoli Wines Pty Limited ... Australian Winemakers Since 1928 The office Christmas party was held at the restaurant of the De Bortoli Winery on Monday 10th December. It was a great success and the only complaint I've heard was that it didn't go on for long enough. Most people went up to the Yarra Valley in buses hired for the day, but I drove up as I volunteered to take the staff award prizes along. I relied on my GPS to guide me there and on the way up, it took me through the country side to the venue, it was a very pleasant drive up. On the way back I changed the setting to make it take me via the quickest route and it took me along all the main roads - this took longer than the scenic route up to the winery! Blogged with Flock
