Quiet business or social lunch in Balmain, mid to late working week?
Previously I have been known to have lunch as much as 4 times in one week at the same place [Monkey Bar]. Yesterday we drove up and down Darling Street and agreed on The Town Hall Hotel. As we entered, great bar service downstairs (draught cidre), then upstairs to the diningroom/balcony seating.
Good: Gotta say, The meal came in goodtime. I had chargril beef rumpsteak with frenchies or salad and pepper sauce. My partner had steak sandwich with the same options.
(Incidently, Rump or Chook Schnitzel Special $12.xx) I was glad to see the pepper sauce was fine in consistency and plenty-awash with palatable green peppercorns.
Bad. I know this is essentially a pub bistro, but guys, put some condiments out at the cutlery station so I don't have to ask you for sauce for my "pommes frites"
The balcony was nicely sheltered from the sun at 2.00pm with a soothing breeze coming up off the inner harbour. I'll be coming back next week to enjoy another lunch.
