Chef and Restaurateur
Neil Perry has delivered his magic again at
The Waiting Room at
Crown Towers in the Crown Entertainment Complex in Southbank.
What a treat, and there could be a play on words here if you know what I mean, being situated in a five-star hotel complex. You really feel like your in New York at this establishment, or even somewhere like a business class lounge an airline would normally produce.
You are in heaven, yet this heaven is so affordable. The $7 hot dogs could not be ignored; something so simple in a classy environment of style, prosperity and opulence. Spoil yourself. A plush space to reinvigorate the soul one has discovered.
It is easy to feel sorry for the bar staff as it looks like the opposite of effortlessness (in other words, sheer hard work and utter struggle) in getting a pina colada to my table on this lazy Sunday. However I appreciated the physical exertion in providing me one of the most coolest, tastiest and refreshing cocktails one has enjoyed at here in Melbourne so far over the last eight months.
Next the irony is crazy. You feel like your back in kindergarten. Back to basics. Suddenly (like the flick of a switch) one did not feel so grown up after the cocktail once my hot dog arrived; fast food with style - fast food styled up indeed. It was like the fattiest, tastiest hot dog one has ever enjoyed squashed into a pillowy bun for the extra support. The hot dogs at the
Jam Factory did not taste this good.
Simple but sweet. Quite frankly you would be an idiot to not return to this establishment for lunch on any given weekend nearby the Yarra. I rest my case.
