Lefka's Taverna: Thurs 19th May Dinner

Nice little greek place with quite alot of the authentic feel to it.
Up on hardgrave road in west end its pretty cheap and service is very friendly.
The girls did dinner here and the grilled halumi and baby octopus was great!

Overall:
Food: greek... most stuff was quite tasty and the salads are great.
Service:Apart from them loosing our booking, they were very friendly and were quite quick with everything. We even got to move in side after a while
Price: Very decent prices, $5 entrees and $10 for mains... most were cheaper however.
Parking: Hardgrave road is a bit hard to park on... it always has been... best bet is to arrive a little early to find a park or be ready to walk.
Recommended: yes, its a beautiful little greek place.

Jackpot Noodles- Fri 13th May Dinner

We did this place because there was disagreements as to what to eat, it was pretty funky and worked out really quite good.

Overall:
Food: Chinese and South East Asian meals... tasty enough.
Service: Very asian, rushed but it gets it done.. they were friendly however.
Price: Cheap as chips. Thats what these guys are known for. $5.50 set meals up to about $12 is their most expensive.
Parking: you may have to look around a bit... there is road side and also woolies car park.
Recommended: yes, great for a cheap lunch or dinner.

Normanby Hotel - 8th May Dinner

Hanah and Di had their 21st Birthday bash at this place. For that it was great. They do steaks as well so we decided to go back for Marks birthday dinner.
IT was pretty noisy, being a pub. But still very classy.

Overall:
Food: We had Steaks with some sides of seafood. Wasn't too bad though not the best Calamari or Steak i've ever had.
Service: Friendly and reasonably quick. Our booking was for 6.30, and we were home by 8.30 feeling pretty full.
Price: Not the cheapest. Steaks where between $20-$26. Othere stuff was about that range also. Parking: It does have a carpark, but that fills pretty quick. After that its good luck to you. Another word of caution. Come in to it from Petrie Terrace going to Kelving Grove road... or you will be driving around for ages trying to get back to it.
Recommended: Its a nice pub, but for steak you can do a good job at the Pineapple or the Norman for same price but better parking.

Meccah Bar Lunch 7th May

We visited here as it was a going away lunch.
Interesting feel to it.. One major complaint and it has nothing to do with the food. The toilets need to get some better lighting.
Other wise not too bad.

Overall:
Food: Very Interesting.. mostly Turkish/Middle eastern flavour. We recommend the Pizzas
Service: Pretty fast service. But its one of those yuppy places that the Waitresses are all funkified peoples.
Price: Not really the cheapest place, but also not way too expensive. We think that for best value the pizza's did it($16- $18).
Parking: a fair big around in the Empourium Shopping Area.
Recommended: Why not. Its pretty interesting.
