	<description>The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she&#039;d quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.</description>

		<description>We were there last night - unfotunately we were so disappointed with the service, the meal and the pricing.

The service was rude - we were not welcomed on arrival, my husband&#039;s water glass remained empty the whole meal as the server seemed only interested in fillling mine and we had to walk over to the server to get our bill after failing to get her attention numerous times.
Our food was poor. The Greek salad contained three pieces of feta - nothing like your serving. My lamb was ok, but not at all at a $30something a plate standard. My husband&#039;s medium-well steak was rare and without much flavour. The green beans were missing the advertised eshallots and almond butter.

We didn&#039;t stay for dessert as we didn&#039;t want to reward the restaurant with any more of our hard-earned money.

We walked out $100 poorer and disappointed in what was meant to be a nice night out.</description>

		<description>Oh that looks so yummy. Congratulations on the article, it looks great.
As for mini-bars, I avoid like the plague as they are so expensive. If someone else was paying I probably wouldn&#039;t mind.</description>

		<description>Hey you were in my town!! 
Oh my - that meal looks divine! I can&#039;t even decide which one looks the best! I have been to a number of work functions at the Hotel Realm and they never fail to impress :)
Hmm minibars - I love checking out what they have on offer - but the price normally puts me off every time!</description>

		<description>I loved the fish at the Realm too, though I&#039;m never quite sure about the hotel itself.  I&#039;ve stayed there twice now and both times the visits have been memorable.  The second time they completely stuffed up my bill, and the first time I stayed there was a party in the room next door and despite calls to reception it went until 3am.  

The test will be a conference I am having in the hotel next year.  Fingers crossed it works out okay as one wonders how they would redeem themselves if they don&#039;t do a good job with over 100 people!</description>

I&#039;m not normally a user of the minibar, although when in Bali last week we did use some of the soft drinks to mix with our duty free vodka when we were getting ready to go out! :D

Congrats about the magazine article!</description>
