The Shearers Arms - 25th April Dinner

This pub is a secret find of ours. We found it in 2003, on Di's birthday out in the middle of nowhere( okay Ormeau) when we were trying to find Yatala pies. We didn't find Yatala, and it was getting late so we decided for this pub. We were a bit scared by the locals to start with but when we went round the side to where the restaurant is, we loved what we saw. Big Sandwich boards that said: 200 gram steak, chips, veggies and a extra side of ( bbq ribs/ calamari/ prawn cutlets/duck shanks) for only $16.90 we knew we hit the jack pot. We decided to stop there, this weekend after a long drive to have a great meal.

Overall:
Food: We've only had the steak combo meals, but they great.
Service: Service is fast and very friendly. Its a order at the counter, and then table service setup. It works well.
Price: The steaks are decent($16-18), and so are most of the other meals($13-20, $37 for lobsters) .
Parking: heaps around.
Recommended: yes, its a great value and a nice feel. Exit 45 on the pacific Highway.

Landmark Chinese Restaurant- 17th April Lunch

Now we love YUMCHA. WE've done it a few times. and the best place to go for it is Sunnybank
For and explanation of it go to this website here. The things they don't explain is that the food is brought around to you on little trolleys, and you pick what you like, and secondly its DAMN BUSY!
You can also order Alcarte, however when its busy it might take a while to come out.


Overall:
Food: Not bad, cause you can choose from soo much.
Service: apart from the ladies with the food, don't expect much service from the waiters... its VERY BUSY
Price: The more the merrier, and it usually ends up about $15 ahead when you share.
Parking: Shopping centre has heaps... but it too gets busy.
Recommended: Yes, Yumcha is an experience. Its prob best with an asian to lead you through the first time.

Scherhazade- 6 April Dinner

We've eaten here once before, MP has eaten it many times. I liked it then, and I like it now. They do their main indy bindy dishes well. This time we went with the family, and they were great as they helped with identifying gluten free meals.... everything bar one dessert!

Overall:
Food: Not bad at all... great butter chicken
Service: Not too bad. Very friendly, and helpful.
Price: I don't think its the cheapest, we had the all you can eat buffet for $19.95
Parking: roadside or block buster video
Recommended: why not if your on that side of town!

We've been to this one a few times, its not great, but it makes does when you want a feed.

Recommended: if you want chinese, and you don't want to go into the city for it, why not.
