I remembered I had a pasta dish and it was very plain. We also had a pizza and found it average. Lastly, I ordered an apple tarte tatin, the apples were super thin, cooked but hardly caramelised you couldn't see or taste the butter and sugar. It was more like finely sliced apples baked on puff pastry. However, Cheesecake Boy loved the lemon delicious, but that was it. <br /><br />All this and it took them 10 mins to find my booking. However, missing bookings happen all the time, so that was not an issue for me at all.<br /><br />I thought I may have been unlucky, but after speaking to some of the locals about our experience, quite a few felt the same way.Dumpling Girlhttp://www.dumplinggirlandcheesecakeboy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-9114660517640223582011-04-23T12:51:05.378+10:002011-04-23T12:51:05.378+10:00Last time I was up at the Hunter I didn't get ...Last time I was up at the Hunter I didn't get to have dinner here as our schedule didn't coordinate with their dinner schedule but we did lunch at Firestick Cafe instead. The husband and I enjoyed it, so would be interested to find out what you guys didn't like about it.Rita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-84264279134735792742011-04-17T18:56:25.651+10:002011-04-17T18:56:25.651+10:00Hi muppy, it was a shame that the service was slow...Hi muppy, it was a shame that the service was slow, but we still enjoyed it and it wasn't a total lost.Dumpling Girlhttp://www.dumplinggirlandcheesecakeboy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-31221112079912916082011-04-17T14:48:22.240+10:002011-04-17T14:48:22.240+10:00This looks very special indeed.

Hehe, glad I'm not the only over planner :)<br /><br />Hello Tina, the portions are small but the delayed periods between courses is what really gets the better of you. <br /><br />The Hunter at night, is completely eerie and dark, sometimes I thought we were in Sleepy Hollow when we were driving around at night, lol.Dumpling Girlhttp://www.dumplinggirlandcheesecakeboy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-67095597613500852402011-04-15T11:06:46.488+10:002011-04-15T11:06:46.488+10:00Looks like quite a lot of food, and perhaps slow s...Looks like quite a lot of food, and perhaps slow service?
