Rockpool

When deciding where to dine for a recent celebratory dinner with my friend, I decided, albeit uncharacteristically, to dine at a venue which doesn't specialize in student priced meals. After looking at several restaurants online, I settled on Rockpool Bar & Grill on George Street.  Upon entering this restaurant, the high ceilings were delightful to observe. I hoped the food would be just as delightful as the architecture of the building. To my delight, it was. I ordered a delicious chorizo dish as an entree served with sauteed tomato and onion. This was only the beginning. The second course, steak was simply the best I've ever had. It was tender without being overly rare. It was cooked to perfection. But it was only a steak. There were however, several side dishes.

Indeed, the side dishes were nearly as good as the steak itself (see illustration below). My friend and I selected Mac and Cheese and onion rings, these two deceivingly simple dishes were fantastic. the batter on the onion rights was light, delicate, melt in your mouth. Whereas the Mac and cheese was delicate and creamy.

All in all, this meal is easily worth the hole which now exists in my wallet. Highly recommended!
