Kardinya Tavern

When your bf lives in an area where you have no clue where to eat and where we wanted something casual and cheap eat the best place to head to is a pub/bar/tavern. Something I'm somewhat getting used it (in between all the fine dining), after all pub food can be pretty good.

Kardinya Tavern was the chosen place on a Friday night. It was holding a function when we went so it was rather noisy, I'm not sure if that is always the case, but I wouldn't be surprise. It's very brightly lit, somewhat small-ish for a taven, and had a karaoke, (which bf didn't want to go up and sing).

The salads I picked from the salad bar - but there are also pasta salads, more potato salads etc.

The food wasn't too bad, average, but for pub food the servings were a little lacking, but I suppose it's probably because they provided a free salad bar, which was good for me because I wanted some greens in me, plus, I didn't mind that the portions of the food were smaller than other pubs - it means you actually might be getting the right sized portions (although I still think it was a fair bit).

The place can get fairly loud, as we found out when the karaoke sessions started. But the whole place has a very family friendly vibe to it. Go there because it's in your local area, I believe the price seems fair, although a few dollars cheaper would be good because the portions seems a bit small for pub food.
