Rundle St Friday Nights 2019-21: 20190405 San Giorgio and Brunelli

The Elephant! It was so warm we sat outside. The fencing had been put back up and there was a rowdy crowd on the table in front of us who seemed to know the crowd from the table across the lane. They were singing on the tops of their voices intermittently throughout the night. A good time by all!

Con was on fire tonight with his matching turquoise shirt and glasses - you couldn't pay to get that colour match! Chad and Richard were also on form with matching shirts. Chad had triangles on his black shirt reminisant of the 'play' icon on a video recorder. Richard had a similar navy shirt with 'play' icons together with stop circles and the 'pause' symbol.

We talked about going to Melbourne together as a group and watching a footy match. Stephen and I are up for it - Chad is too - and Richard is going to be there anyway. Con is a bit hesitant but we might swing him around.

Because it was my birthday on Tuesday, I got to choose tonight even though it was Chad's turn. I suspect Chad was going to choose Betty Burgers so I got in quick and choose San Georgios. I'm inspired by the Italian fare after visiting Amalfis.

We managed to get a table fairly easily at the restaurant. I had the linguine salmon, Richard had chicken in a creamy sauce with potatoes and veg, Chad, Stephen and Con all ate pizza.

The atmosphere was pleasant enough. The televisions were buzzing away in the background without too much interference. The doors was pulled back because of the warm night.

I was a bit disappointed with my pasta as it was too 'fishy'. It should have had vegetables to make it more varied, but it just had the salmon with the odd small section of mushroom. I would give my meal a 6 out of 10.

The pizza eaters gave their meal a 6-7 out of 10 and Richard gave his a 7 1/2 out of 10. His meal certainly looked the tastiest out of the lot.

We all paid cash and Richard paid by waving his phone app. A way of paying that I've seen alot of lately. The bill came to exactly $125. The right amount that Richard had calculated. Whew!

We agreed to go to Brunelli - Chad said that it was my choice and I could choose anywhere. I was happy to have my $2 coffee. Stephen and Con had eclairs and Richard had a chocolate cheesecake. All looked too rich for me.

We talked about going to see the Book of Mormon and that Richard was going to try and get a free ticket by reviewing it. We'll hold off from booking our ticket until we hear from Richard then.
