Most of it was very good and the dishes that disapppointed slightly only needed a good season. If it wasn't for that I think Avoca would be on my 'top eats' list.<br /><br />CHFG - Balzac is just down the road. I haven't been to there either! ;-)Richard Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565380446421416586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076693886368253167.post-35096229672558834692011-12-07T20:57:00.974+00:002011-12-07T20:57:00.974+00:00Damn, now why aren't all affagato's served...Damn, now why aren't all affagato's served like that indeed!?<br />Haven't been here since it switched from being Balzac.cityhippyfarmgirlhttp://cityhippyfarmgirl.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076693886368253167.post-34445186874535658142011-12-07T00:38:34.869+00:002011-12-07T00:38:34.869+00:00The panna cotta looks so pretty.

Or three. :-)joey@forkingaroundsydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174731005316639426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076693886368253167.post-81148850067308922172011-12-05T09:44:28.914+00:002011-12-05T09:44:28.914+00:00@LateralEating - the menu was definitely Modern Au...@LateralEating - the menu was definitely Modern Australian with four or five Thai inspired dishes. I didn't think it was too 'international'.
