We had such a lovely evening. The venue is just beautiful (Jules, we asked
what it was before they took it over 20 years ago and they said it was the
Edmund Barton Cafe, which was apparently a classy cafe that serviced the
Edmund Barton Building opposite) but whatever, it was gorgeous.
The food was great, the service was excellent, and we had a nice little chat
with the owner (the female half ;-)) who was doing front of house. She was so
jealous of us having a relaxing weekend…
So, the food. Dohn’s entrée:
