Welcoming and bijou modern without being a âsetâ: authentic. But we took the plunge and were guided by them; good choice. Plenty of exploratory discussion to assess likes and dislikes. The Dory was the best fish I have had in years. We were educated on flavours, cooking techniques and vegetables. It was a symphony of flavour and while a bit exy for a regular visit it is top of my new list for that special moment when you want to be special without being pretentious.

Surprisingly found that they have vegan option dishes. Unfortunately, the starters prices are of the usual mains in most of the eateries. I have never paid $24 for a plate of stir fry noodles, small serving for the price. We had to order two of each dishes to share amongst us. Not sure how they get the repeated business though.

Staying in balnarring for extended break and determined to try all the local restaurants started here at hoolies, what a mistake having booked for six of us I can only say that I have never experienced such a night when eating out and I eat out a lot, first of service very slow the explanation of dishes on menu were not very clear (if your British from England the menu is not what you get in england) noodles are not noodles but crispy things. Two of our party ordered steak with vegetables and the strange noodles, one other ordered combination dish with steak we also had a just steak dish, the proper steak dish was lovely but the other two the steak if that's what it was, was enemic fatty and had no taste of anything, again service non existent not asked if ok in fact had to get them over at which were met with a sorry but nothing else when mentioned again were asked if they could get another dish but by then others had eaten so really dident want a dish and frankly put off, they wouldn't take off bill as had offered another dish. Shocking service shocking food won't ever go back but will make sure others know about it, such a shame as looked promising and indeed starter and 3 mains were good but overall experience is a massive let down and really feel staff dident care less seems like as it's a tourist area they treat everyone like one, shame food with no flavour is a let down and spoils your night out certainly spoilt ours.

Chilli n Lime Thai Restaurant, Frankston-Flinders Road, BitternCentral city Melbourne is at the top end of Port Phillip Bay; this is where the city started following those first exploratory Europeans (John Batman and his followers) from Tasmania who were seeking sheep grazing country. They purchased 240,000 ha from the local Aboriginals (so the story goes. Hmmm.) The city has subsequently spread from those small beginnings and now encompasses of the order 9,990 km2; and none more so than around the east of the Bay and down into the Mornington Peninsular.You can travel by city Metro right through to Crib Point on Western Port Bay and, should you enjoy seascapes, look out over French Island and Phillip Island. The historic HMAS Cerabus naval training base at Crib Point explains the rail link - the value of this military base during two world wars â and the potential offered into the future with investment planned for estimated half-billion dollars during the next period.And what has all this to do with the âChilli n Limeâ? Well, nothing really, except that weâd booked an Airbnb place in the little township of Bittern (blink when youâre on the that part of the Frankston-Flinders Road, and youâll miss it) to explore the area for the w/e. And - coming to it - there in the client file in the old settler-style cottage in which we were staying was the menu from the restaurant. Weâd carried our Friday evening meal with us in the cold box, but Saturday evening was definitely Thai cuisine night; weâve always had a soft spot for popular Thai food. And, crucially, we were *not* disappointed.The restaurant is in the small commercial centre a little before the main crossroads turn-off to Crib Point; where Myers and Woolleys Roads meet the main highway through to Flinders. One of a handful of popular food outlets â hamburgers, bakery/café, etc. anchored by the main IGA supermarket, the restaurant is hidden behind a large front window inside of which is a high partition that separates diners from the popular take-away trade. Enter and approach the counter without disrupting the small dining room â seating for around 30 diners in a dark room with green décor. It was around 19.30 and there were about 10 people eating. There were no takers for dining al fesco.The menu was a challenge â all that food from which to make choices. We ordered a selection of plates to share between the two of us: couple of entrees â Thai Satay Skewers â four/chicken & Thai Spring Rolls â six, small, vegetable filling, and single main with sides â Red Curry â mild, vegetables, basil, etc., chicken base, complemented with coconut rice (2x) and garlic roti. (Delicious food â just thinking back over a few lines brings that sense of pleasure; it was a month since weâd last eaten Thai.) Plentiful too; there was no way that we could finish all that rice. The curry mopped up well with the roti (which was more of a naan really), and we could easily have dined on the one portion of rice. Hate wasting food.Competitively priced foods too; whether rice/noodles, stir fry, salads or curries - think A$18 for sea foods/prawns, A$16 for red/white meats and A$15 for salads; entrees A$8-9 and sides A$3-4. Well, thereabouts. We paid A$44 for the meal â good value. Service had been quick and friendly.Peter Steele04 February 2018
