Rusty's Bleeding Edge Page

Fine dining, relaxed, traditional soft lighting. Had to stop Alli licking plate of entree. Warm bread rolls, a coke and a dry ginger ale. Alli had the Goat's Cheese Tart, wrapped in potato with pear jelly and balsamic drizzle, I the Pan Fried Praws with fennel salad, both small appetizers. Alli's main was the Beef (medium) with mashed potato and beans. I had the Crispy Skin Barramundi with asparagus and kipfler potatoes in a light tomato and butter sauce. Both meals standard fine-dining size. A glass of Wynns' blend for Alli and a South Australian Zinfandel for me. Mint icecream between thin chocolate layers, and a cheese platter (blue, brie and cheddar, with crackers quince paste, and sliced pear). Visa and Amex. $161.95

Mid-size cafe with outdoor chairs (only for the brave unless it's summer), our regular breakfast spot. Modern, lots of windows, casual but trendy, licensed. Visa no Amex. Alli had Orange Juice (fresh-squeezed, milkshake-glass), Peppermint Tea and Apple Ricotta Hotcakes with Rhubarb and Berry Compote, and I had a Cappuchino, Orange Juice and Eggs Benedict with Ham. Alli didn't finish hers (last time I had them I didn't either). $40.50.
