(Friday Night Dinner) Tom Turtle
Time for dessert - ice cream cubes, a novelty, though you don't end up with much ice cream!
Flavours - peanut butter & jelly, creme brulee, pear & caramel and sweet corn.

(Friday night dinner) Claypot King
A sneaky little dumpling dinner on Swanston St. Super cheap and very tasty, although the claypots were probably better than the dumplings.

(Friday Night Dinner) Kazbar
Thumbs up - reasonable prices, charming french waiter and comfy outside seating.
Thumbs down- bland mushrooms, slow service and not enough labne on the lamb pizza.
G and I shared a lamb pizza and stuffed mushrooms. The waiter was kind enough to move us to an outside table when one became available. Food took a long time to come out - especially given the restaurant was half full and most people were just drinking.
Other than the French waiter and the kiwi manager, the staff were a bit lacking in responsiveness.
Conclusion - wouldn't return.

(Friday Night Dinner) Elbow Room
G and I decided that it was time to actually use "the gold book" - aka the Entertainment Book.
We tore out 3 or 4 vouchers redeemable on Fitzroy St, St Kilda, and jumped on the number 16 tram. We ended up eating dinner at The Elbow Room with a complimentary main meal voucher.
G had the kangaroo steak salad, described as "medallions of pistachio crusted kangaroo fillet on a garden salad and sesame dressing" and I had the duck risotto + drinks = $45 (or $70 without the voucher).
G's kangaroo was a little lacking - certainly very small medallions, which led us to make jokes that perhaps the fillet had come from a rock wallaby, rather than a 'roo. My risotto was deliciously ducky, big pieces of tender duck and the risotto tasted like it was cooked in a duck/gamey stock - lovely and rich.
Being super glamorous, we finished up at Cold Rock - peanut butter ice cream with tim tams, raspberries and pb m&m's mixed in.
