The kids and I took a tram into St Kilda that took 1 hour. This apparently was quicker than the other couple invited - they drove in and it took them about 1hr and 15minutes! (Bumper to bumper on Punt Road) Yay, public transport! Anyway all 3 ladies chose the main meal/dessert option while the blokes went down the large 5 mains and rice without the dessert path. Our meal came cramped in a bowl with 4 small main choices with rice in the middle (I totally forgot to take a picture, even though I purposely kept the camera on the table! Doh!). The boys came on a tray that had separate sections for each of their large mains. I took a photos of A's just as he had started to eat.
For dessert the 2 other ladies chose sticky date pudding but I wanted something a bit different so I picked Raspberry Truffle Cake.
There was a lot of people there so the atmosphere was excellent (and what a fabulous day for being near the beach!). I found that it was really hard to hear each other talk and it seemed as though I was shouting to be heard. Near the end of the day (we were there for nearly 4 hours!!), people left and the place was getting empty, but the music got louder and I still had to shout!
Besides all of that, the food was good and the company was even better!
Anyway we came home and I started to get us ready for school/work tomorrow. I made us all a salad and crumbed some tofu in polenta and cooked it in the oven. We'll add it to the salad in the morning.
Blueberry Banana Sorbet
1C Blueberries
1-3 frozen bananas
1C milk/water/a mixture of both
Chuck it all in a blender and blend until well mixed. Can be eaten straight away; after a few hours in the freezer; or leave overnight to really freeze.
Well off to work for me tomorrow. Looking forward to it but a little nervous as I have stayed away from the classroom all of this year. I'm sure it is like riding a bike...

I feel the same about soulmama, could definately make better food at home.. you pay for the view and I find the service really bad... I think it should go all out fine dining instead of this weird inbetween gopas and shakaharis thing it has going...
that being said.. I go to st kilda about once a year so...
yup, same feelings here - i've only been once but i found the food WAY too expensive and pretty average for what you pay for. the service was non-existant and the whole ordering systems so complicated and unneccessary. Haven't been back since and i really don't plan too. also, there were hardly any vegan choices when i went. what's up with that!?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like that. I sort of feel guilty because we don't have many choices of eateries and I shouldn't be dissing them, but I feel better to know others think the same :)
Heya I'm glad you had a good time - i did too :) A and I agreed the food was pretty average. The service WAS bad! The waitress forgetting our hot drinks was annoying. And yes the whole odering ticketing thing was just weird. The location/views are spectacular but then there is this cafeteria feel to the place but $$$ menu. Was still heaps of fun though, although I don't think I will go back there.
