Food was wonderful, had a simple grilled octopus for an entree, it reminded of when i first had octopus that a Greek friend of the family used to make, and it was a large serve. Had the quail for main and again the serving size was amazing, one friend had the beef skewer and i tried a bit of the meat and it was so tender. Will go there again.
The Fraser Park one has looked like a construction site for the Metro when i have driven past it from Sydneham station but did see a line of cars waiting to go into the drive way a few weeks ago and checking the website it still is open.
Fresh sardines are a real treat, love the taste and so removed from the canned ones from back in the 60 s and 70 s although i had some canned ones on toast as a sharing plate at the State Library bar last year and i enjoyed them.
