2015
3 February 2015 Bounty = "... the quality, serving sizes and the service catapult the Bounty ahead of its neighbours. It’s the kind of local you wish you had in your own suburb." Our summary HERE
17 February Bourbon Street - "On the food front, the restaurant was not able to keep up with demand for some dishes on the night of our visit" Our summary HERE
24 February 2015 Via Italia - "... the perfect post-surf food. ... Service was friendly, with the typical cruisy Sunshine Coast attitude" Our summary HERE
10 March 2015 Bin 72 Bar and Dining - "It’s not the kind of food that will challenge you, but obvious effort has gone into each dish." Our summary HERE
24 March 2015 The Stables Craft Bar & Kitchen - "With the density of apartment buildings, the Ascot and Hamilton area was crying out for a bar such as this and The Stables ticks a lot of boxes – food just isn’t one of them." Our summary HERE

14 April 2015 Spirit House - "Spirit House, originally an Asian garden centre with a small eatery, has managed to not only stay contemporary over 24 years, but evolve into one of the state’s best culinary attractions," Our summary HERE
26 May 2015 Asana by Pete Evans - "Pete Evans('s), ... version of the grain, dairy and legume-free eating plan. ... Some of the food at Asana was tasty, but poor execution let it down. It will take a much more sound concept to convince this critic to go full caveman." Our summary HERE
9 June 2015 Rambutan - "It’s amazing what the right setting can do; an open-air bar centred on a sexy backpacker filled pool? Time to check in." Our summary HERE
16 June 2015 Lambert's Restaurant - "The fare is more classic French bistro than Mod-Oz, as spouted on the front of the carte, even down to the (now rarely seen) entree-main-dessert formula. Throw in gratis bread and a professional front-of-house and you have the polar opposite of today’s new-world restaurant, all shared menus and themed fit-outs." Our summary HERE
30 June 2015 Delfina's - "A tight menu of six entrees and six mains is imaginative and interesting, but the food just has too much going on, especially in the mains department. ... There may be room for a good bistro in the area, but there needs to be a few tweaks if Delfina’s is going to fit the bill." Our summary HERE
21 July 2015 Paper Daisy - "... simple, produce-driven, seafood-heavy menu fits the Mediterranean-slash-nautical vibe beautifully." Our summary HERE

25 August 2015 Coast - "Seafood is the major industry around town, with the two major catches represented on Coast’s menu in the form of just-cooked local scallops ... , served on the shell and smothered in a generous pool of parsley, lemon and caper butter, and king prawns." Our summary HERE
8 September 2015 London Fields - "London Fields makes a great bar, but it has a way to go as a gastropub." Our summary HERE
22 September 2015 The Balfour Kitchen - "It is a solid restaurant, especially given the prices and setting ... Its a la carte offering is an endangered beast these days and, if you are suffering food-trend fatigue, Balfour makes for a refreshing alternative." Our summary HERE
2014
28 October 2014 - Sol Natural Foods - "...a cheap and cheerful menu."
4 November 2014 - Lennons - ""Speaking broadly, hotel restaurants tend to have solid service and average food. Lennons turns that idea on its head. There was a palpable awkwardness to the service, but it all disappeared as we dug into the mains". Our summary HERE.
