Ok, so the boys wanted a night out and one of us flatly refused to eat at The Winery (believe it or not it was not me!!). So Mille Vini was decided upon and all seven of us managed to find parking. This place is full of atmosphere and a wide choice of Italian wines ... but this is a wine bar and the choice of wines by the glass is rather narrow with only 7 whites and 8 reds.
Lots of entrees / appetisers .. the arancini had mushrooms in them and were,well ..bland. The bruscetta was average, the grilled prawns were great (though anyone can do that on a bbq at home!!). I ordered barramundi and it was served on a bed of tomato and eggplant .. bland , skin on , no salt or crunchiness to it. Thought it was forgettable. My friend's duck ragu pasta was nicely al dente but just not enough flavour. One of the other guys had a sirloin with porcini and, well it was a lot of meat, beautifully cooked in that it was not overdone ...but again no flavour.
WHAT IS IT WITH RESTAURANTS NOT SEASONING THEIR FOOD? I think that a lot of "chefs" simply do not taste their food.
Would I go there again? Yes ..nice place to have a meal with friends, and you can drink some nice Italian reds.
