It would appear that I have picked at the scab of dissatisfied diners everywhere. See the recent comment from SJC below (a spray well worthy of the Hobart Restaurant Bitch of the Year Award)! There is a saying among people who apparently know: People in Hobart won’t complain, they just won’t come back. Well, get angry I say! Complain until your spleen will vent no more! Share the load with other like-minded, thinking souls and you shall be set free! Bugger not going back – tell wait staff if they are rude, tell restaurateurs if their restaurant could do with a kick up the butt, and for the love of all that is Holy – tell them if their menu is a carbon copy of everyone else’s! And then tell them that you WILL be back and you WILL expect an improvement!
That ought to get them thinking (one would hope).

About Me
- Georgie Weston
- The date of my birth (6 January) is the Feast of the Epiphany - the celebration of the discovery of the Baby Jesus by the Magi (the 3 wise kings). I like to think they enjoyed a great wine, a fabulous meal in fine surroundings, and magnificent service. This and other delusions have led me to spit the dummy about food in Hobart. Hobart Restaurant Bitch - on the hunt for the Divine Dining Experience!!

what is with crap coffee in hobart? sick of going to seemingly nice cafe for a chit chat with friends and being sooo let down with my caffinated beverage. I am happy with Cafe Kara, Zum through the week (gotta do something about consitancy on the weekend) I hear Maldini does a goodie - but ya know there's not alot more. Retro mmmmmnnnnnah, sugo mmmmm average (but consistanly average), Machine mmmmm been a while since i have drunk there as they kept @#$%ing up my eggs. Kaos is a bit hit and miss. Ya know i think that is it ...... more hit and less miss, people!
