Sodafish - Lakes Entrance, Victoria.

Best laid plans can always come undone. Before leaving home on our ten day road trip the wife had checked-out “Off the Wharf” seafood restaurant. But on arriving for dinning it was closed though the web site said “open”. Only a short drive from there, back in town is Sodafish. This two part restaurant floats on pontoons and for us elderly has ramps and a lift to “float” you to up-stairs.

Lower deck is a bar and upstairs a fish eatery. There are alternates on the menu but when in a fishy situation, eat fish. Pricing, which never worries us but may others, is on the rich side. Fortunately we had had a good lunch and more out for the experience rather than a big meal. 

Service was excellent and super friendly. The view was good though where we ate felt a little like an add on room, bare, plain and just there to get more bums on seats. Food was good but not generous. If you want a big meal be prepared to shell-out what is left after your taxes. Don’t let me put you off the experience was good and to fill you up you may need to empty your wallet. Food quality is good though. 

Parking is easy and off street, music is a bit loud and for me not conducive for a pleasant romantic night out. You may see it different. You can eat at the upstairs bar. My suggestion here is go, at least once then decide;- a keeper or move on. 

Taste of Avon - Stratford, Victoria.

Currently on a ten day road trip so the next posts to follow will be from that trip. First day out and after three or so hours of driving, time for lunch. Taste of Avon  happen to right where we parked. Stiff legged, we waddled into the restaurant. It felt like a country pub with a restaurant feel. Plenty of seating here inside and out. And a window seat had us down and menus up. We both ordered different entrees and both meals were excellent. 

The staff member was friendly and helpful and food was served in a short time. There is seating outside but it was winter and inside was warm and pleasant. Not hard to imagine this place packed in holiday seasons for Saturday nights drinks or meals. Only complaint was the music, disco I think, was shocking and on our request was turned off. We were the only people in at the time. If you are local, holidaying or driving past, for a generous, good tasting meal, drop in.
