@minnie @hereforthepopcorn @Happy4uuu @bron1us After #WhaleWatching , I took #SteveFromSanFrancisco to #RickStein at #Bannisters for dinner.

But the highlight of our evening was this: a lonely koala in the middle of the road 😓

I pulled over and waited for it to cross the road to the bush.

@bron1us I may have mentioned this previously but #RickStein (not #RickSteves ) is a British chef that has a couple of TV series and restaurants in NSW and Cornwall.

It's become de rigeur to go up north to #portstephens and go to his restaurant as part of the itinerary.

@minnie @bron1us @hereforthepopcorn @Happy4uuu You gotta book for Stein's restaurant but he also has a Mexican joint called #julio 's.

#SteveFromSanFrancisco liked this sign (I reckon it should say "Give me tequila") and as we were early for our booking we wandered around the hotel like tourists.

@bron1us @minnie @hereforthepopcorn @Happy4uuu This was the menu that evening - they change by seasons. The photos are pretty dark because frankly, compared to my birthday dinner, they gave us crap seats.

I should have said we were having a birthday/anniversary to snag the better table.

@minnie Just looking at my photos of that evening's dinner, I've had to delete most of them because the lighting was pretty bad. So I'm only posting the photos of food that were discernible.

Like this entree of pipis.

@giordana @minnie @hereforthepopcorn @bron1us @strawberigrl12 @Happy4uuu This was the fish pie and it was EXQUISITE.

There is no pastry on top so to speak but a bread crumble. Like my macadamia brownies, it eats better than it looks LOL

So definitely can recommend this one.

#SteveFromSanFrancisco chose a local fish and this was the #nelsonbay tuna for main. The photo was bad because the lighting was bad.

These places are pretty deceptive when it comes to serving size. By the time dessert rolled in, we were stuffed. I did want to try the #CheesePlate again but tummy said no @minnie

So we went for sorbet and the lemon forage.

@minnie Can you see a theme here? Desserts are the bomb!

This is the lemon fromage and it tastes like a smooth lemon cheese curd with Scandinavian roots @bron1us @Happy4uuu . Another food highlight of the evening. 😋

Thus endeth our dinner at Rick's.

Both winter comfort food!

The fish pie was just a mish mash of everything found at the seafood market that day. Mixed in some white cheesy sauce.

Should make it one day. The pie is simpler than having a pastry on top. 🤔
