May Monthly Dinner - 26/5/2005 - The Great Northern - Pacific Hwy Chatswood

[Kel]

4. Needs to be close to the main group of people going ( Northside)

Maybe if we went somewhere other than North we might get more takers?

[GTR R35]

If I had my way, we would go to the Thai near Duncan and Kel's place.:wassup:

Good parking and cheap, with a bottle shop next door with the super chiller:cheers:

I SECOND THAT !!!

I think thai orchid should be the default location if we cant make up our minds....

plus you also get hours of entertainment watching duncan try and work the "super chiller"

[Duncan]

:alcoholic

but I thought Orchid Thai had been restricted to every 6 months

[Blitz]

Thai Orchard is good, but how about a something different for a change?

Heh heh yeah, we eat that stuff at least once a week.

My point was really about mixing it up, maybe going south or west for a change?

[Abo Bob]

Tried suggesting east every 2nd month but never a taker. Good restaurants but I don't know other areas so I can't offer suggestions.

[Blitz]

Im keen to try Richards Italian recommendation

[shonen]

hmm so are we still deciding ? or is there are winner yet ???

and yeah italian sounds fine......as long as they have nice bruchetta (sp?) I love that stuff...

[Moanie]

i'm keen to try the italian place too!! hmm.. pasta!!!

[Kel]

Anyone know any good Southside Italian places? Like I said, just conscious that we always seem to end up North.

[Silver-Arrowz]

South side I'm good with.

[Beer Baron]

I'm happy to try somewhere other than northish. it's just that that's the areas that we know restaurants so we tend to recomend places there.

I'll have a think for somewhere southish and post it up.

I'll rock up if we are

[Kel]

The only places I know of South are around Brighton - probably *not* the best spot for us!

I'll ask around and see what else I can find.

There's Big John's in San Souci (on Rocky Point Rd). Big and cheap Italian food (mains pasta dishes are huge and only cost $15 or so, seafood is their specialty). If we make a fairly large booking (say 20 or so) we should be fine. Last time our group of 8 had a booking and still had to wait an hour However that was on a Saturday and they had a big gorup booking which had priority.

Parking isn't the best as it's street parking but the area is fairly safe.

haha I was just about to post up Big Johns when I read kels post about brighton.....

Italian seafood restaurant....and yes the dishes there are HUGE !!

went there for a mates bday and we had like 8 people....and we couldnt finish the seafood platter for TWO......

Like cereal mentioned the area is pretty safe....plenty of spots on the side street around the corner..near the KFC.....I got there early and manage to score a spot right in front of the restaurant

and omg..the bruchetta(sp?) there is like half a loaf of bread....

[CerealKiller]

The garlic pizza is brilliant...The marinara pasta (the seafood one) uses REAL seafood, lots of prawns, bit of lobster or crab (shell and all). Only $20. Excellent value. I'm keen

[Kel]

Why don't we go to Crazy (oops I mean) Big Johns and try to convince some of the Southerners to join us for the night?

[Moanie]

sounds like a plan
