A bite to eat with views
22/05/2013 by Rahima Saikal
The Deck is situated on top of Regatta Point overlooking the picturesque Lake Burley Griffin. The views are 360 degrees and are quite breath-taking. We are seated at our table inside as we await the entrée. The area inside is large and airy and the deck area outside is much the same. With modern outdoor furniture on the deck, it looks like a great place for afternoon drinks in the warmer weather or a latte (with an outdoor heater) in the winter months.

Recap: Bob Evans @ Zierholz
15/05/2013 by James van Leeuwen
For Perth border hopper Bob Evans, playing a string of shows in quick succession is second nature. The Jebadiah front man isn’t quite a house hold name, but with most of his tours being country wide this definitely isn’t his first time around the Canberra circuit. What set this gig apart was the low key vibe with which Evans took to the stage- summed up by the title of the tour and recent album Familiar Strangers. Dropping the usual four man band for a pair of guitars and a solitary mic stand, the air called for an intimate atmosphere, and Zierholz provided.

Floresco in the Gardens is as delightful as the name suggests. Sitting in the picturesque Australian National Botanic Gardens, the scenery is to die for on a sunny day, as is the food. Greeted by the friendly floor team, we were shown to a table outside on the deck looking over the green, luscious lawns of the gardens. The sun was beaming and there was not a cloud in sight amongst the clear blue sky – perfect!
