MamaPapa

One local restaurant closes and within weeks is replaced by another.    Mediterranean is replaced by Thai "fusion".    The fit-out has obviously cost a heap, and the enthusiasm is readily apparent.  The food has nice flavours and is well-presented, although for some reason, one dish seemed a little on the sweet side.   Licensed to sell wine, but the BYO permit hasn't arrived yet.  It occurred to us that since we couldn't drink from our own bottle, it might have been a nice gesture if the glass of wine we bought had been filled a splash or so above the line, rather than only to the bottom edge!  There's an eftpos sign on the window, but that, too, isn't functioning yet, so cash only please.


So our niggles are only minor, but, hey, you've chosen to open in an area that's over-supplied with middle of the range restaurants.  Maybe we'll be back if the mood takes us, but really you haven't made out a compelling reason for us to return to you in the near future as opposed to eating at any of the numerous other places in the vicinity.
