We love it since I happened to drop in at the pub while showing our interstate friends the area. I was splendidly surprise that the food was so much better than I could remember a couple years ago. Since then, we have been back another 3 times before I moved to Melb. That was before the several recent accolades for the restaurant and David M. The only regret was we haven't tried The Stacking yet. Th price certainly has gone up. But, that won't stop me from eating there when I go home for a 2 weeks visit during Christmas/ New Year.Victorhttp://idestination.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-40499511166725562092011-10-24T12:32:25.201+11:002011-10-24T12:32:25.201+11:00Fabulous write up with gorgeous pictures...can'...Fabulous write up with gorgeous pictures...can't wait to get there!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16616733902804562775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-82028229250910976922011-10-22T21:30:01.721+11:002011-10-22T21:30:01.721+11:00Glad to see Stackings has upped its game again.

From where I sat, the food we enjoyed was exactly the same as the food these people ate.<br />It was apperent to me that we were not treated differently to any of the other diners except of course as I know Dave and he came out to say g'day at the conclusion of the meal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-34790253808989882872011-10-20T10:00:12.253+11:002011-10-20T10:00:12.253+11:00You make the point about restaurant reviewing your...You make the point about restaurant reviewing yourself <br />Rita when you mention how ordinary Peppermint Bay was when you went incognito. Having worked many years in hospitality I know very well how the food critic system works. Food writer comes in, chef is alerted,and from that minute on the total focus is on that one table. Sure David Moyle is a very good chef, but for me the mark of a very good restaurant is when a great meal is produced EVERYDAY for EVERYONE. This should be the mark to judge a restaurant by, not when one is pulled out of the hat for that special person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-45703212526827674852011-10-19T17:35:59.988+11:002011-10-19T17:35:59.988+11:00on comparisons: I look like a bloated bullfrog to ...on comparisons: I look like a bloated bullfrog to Davids tadpole-if only jowel size was comenserite to skinny-jean size...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-65781692544345446602011-10-19T12:46:36.299+11:002011-10-19T12:46:36.299+11:00I agree - its almost like comparing Andrew Bolt to...I agree - its almost like comparing Andrew Bolt to a principled journalist.Mr Mannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-12795290131489649152011-10-19T06:42:58.537+11:002011-10-19T06:42:58.537+11:00comparing that cafe with a restaurantlike this is ...comparing that cafe with a restaurantlike this is a bit daftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-32080964890071894292011-10-18T18:30:55.828+11:002011-10-18T18:30:55.828+11:00Had lunch today at KT's Café in Barrack Street...Had lunch today at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/KTsCafe" rel="nofollow">KT's Café in Barrack Street</a>.

LIke you we've been burnt in the many change-overs of management at PB, with some downright rude service in the past. Once one of our favourite Friday night haunts we haven't been in years (a shame as it's only 10 mins down the road from us now). We may brave it soon.Marian Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611229357228521510noreply@blogger.com
