20210129 Sosta Argentinian Restaurant and Italy TURN: Chad

Tonight we met at the Elephant as usual and although Steve and Elizabeth were absent due to a recent trip to Sydney we had Patrick as a special guest.

After much discussion and drinking, we headed off to Sosta close to the Stag Hotel

It was a very nice looking place with large tables and the staff was extremely polite. As it is a little pricey I did expect this as they would be very hopeful of repeat visitors

They advised us that due to Chad's order it would be a delay on our meal as they like to bring all the food out at the same time.  30 minutes after this we all got our meal at the same time 

They also let you order any cooking length on the meat  so if you wanted well done then that was not an issue unlike this fancy restaurant we were thinking of going to in Hutt Street 

Albert 

Lamb Chops  $35 and Young Henry’s lager $11 

Adequate portion but felt it was just OK: Score 7 

Con 

Chorizo 17 Octopus 22

Con felt the size was big but the octopus was overdone: Score 6

Chad mixed grill $50 Argentinian lager 

Chad said it was perfect and he was very happy: Score 9

Richard beef 45 salad $12 

Very tasty and will come again: Score 8

Patrick scotch fillet $43 

Perfectly cooked: Score 9

After the meal, we went across the road to Italy for a coffee.

Italy is rebadged from that Italian restaurant that had a beauty salon upstairs. none of us could remember the name

Richard felt the coffee was so good that we should go to the restaurant for a meal one day as I suspect the food would also be good 

Albert playing around with Con's pour

we think that we should include more photos of us in the blog

as stated great serve for Con

Salad was a bit bland but that was what I ordered due to keeping the calories down

These tasted great and was for the table. any other day Steve or I would have polished these off but you know...calories
