I was there last week for a concert and the lunch was a huge disappointment. Again, mediocre food overpriced for what you get along with rather surly management and capped off by a 20 minute queue to pay the bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-67982669593855049902008-10-24T10:15:00.000+11:002008-10-24T10:15:00.000+11:00Yes, the surroundings are great and the staff are ...Yes, the surroundings are great and the staff are fine BUT good food is what I go out to eat for and the food here was distinctly mediocre on my recent visit, especially disappointing considering the long term reputation of the place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-33016214954966195472008-10-24T00:30:00.000+11:002008-10-24T00:30:00.000+11:00$40 for as steak.

I paid $49, Wrest point two years ago, $47 Ball and chain, $61, Sydney, $55 Melbourne, $48 Adelaide, and just for some perspective £20 ($50) twenty years ago at an average steak house in England. <BR/><BR/>Look food and service cost money, when are we going to stop whining about the cost and start looking at the service being provided. Peppermint Bay was'nt magically funded by the free money fairy. Its little wonder that the mainland investors recoil in horror at investing here, when the small population can't see beyond the cost.<BR/>Fact: Food is cheap here.<BR/><BR/>CartoucheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-3314989882376239312008-10-23T22:05:00.000+11:002008-10-23T22:05:00.000+11:00PBOverratedOverpricedPaint by numbers hospitalityZ...PB<BR/>Overrated<BR/>Overpriced<BR/>Paint by numbers hospitality<BR/>Zero atmosphere<BR/>Excellent location<BR/>Trading on former glories<BR/>Who owns it & where are they?<BR/>Not in Tassies top ten restaurants but should be<BR/>Dining room should give way to the bar cause no one eats there<BR/>Best thing about the place is that South African bloke who runs the place, JJ, the chubby, gap toothed young guy called Geordie & the old codgers at the front bar who complain at every frequent price rise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-16687073009003829422008-10-23T18:27:00.001+11:002008-10-23T18:27:00.001+11:00A bunch of us tried Mermaid (I think it's called) ...A bunch of us tried Mermaid (I think it's called) at Kettering for lunch and it was very good.<BR/>Eight of us and not a complaint...service was good too...all mains arriving together.<BR/>Hope to do PB soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-91621084873966328282008-10-23T18:27:00.000+11:002008-10-23T18:27:00.000+11:00I've always loved p/bay - especially the bar area....I've always loved p/bay - especially the bar area.
