What is there not to like about trying a new restaurant? Unless it turns out to be terrible with bad food, rude staff and smelly toilets :S but when I first saw Tomislav from the outside I knew immediately that that would not be the case with this place. The first step inside I could feel the cozy and warm atmosphere, situated to one side was the open kitchen (so we can spy whether or not they spit in our food jkjk) while the rest of the area was dotted with matching tables and chairs.

I am a bit of a sucker for very well presented food so after I saw the review at ES&T I knew I had to come here for my b’day celebration. We were very warmly greeted by an extremely friendly waiter who joked with us and made us feel right at home. First impressions sure do make an impact!

As soon as I saw the pretty Winery sign studded with bright red roses I thought to myself, “Good work! I have chosen the perfect place for my manly brother heh heh heh.” With the help of the lovely Steph, we ended up at the Surry Hills restaurant of the Gazebo restaurants to celebrate my brothers birthday.

Just gotta love the lazy afternoon feeling

It was a beautiful, warm day and the whole atmosphere of the place (although has a slight yuppie feel) was perfect fro celebrating with some good food and wine! The whole place was covered in pretty and colourful flowers and other interesting ornaments of upside down birds and deers wearing ties. I didn’t get a photo of the giant chessboard outside but I thought it really added a nice touch to the place, and giant chess = much entertainment ^^! Read the rest of this entry »

There are just some partnerships that are undeniably perfect for each other. For me, beef and beer are just one of those partnerships (to all the wine drinkers I say beer > wine ) and so when Craig of Mumu Grill teamed up with Dan the beer snob of Beer Snobs I knew something magical was going to happen. Two people, one with a deep passion for cooking organic and sustainable meats to perfection and other with a deep passion for drinking only perfection come together to teach us average Joes how to enjoy what we put in our mouths on a different level.
