Worst Dining Experience Ever!

Sunday came quickly and we realized soon that all of the fun we were having was catching up with us. We both were pretty exhausted even from the start of the day. We met up with Kevin and Adam at a restaurant called Little Creatures. It is a fun restaurant in an old wedding dress warehouse that brews its own beer in Victoria somewhere, I think. The boys looked fabulous as they were dressed up on their way to the wedding. We were not which was pretty funny for us to be meeting these dapper looking fellows looking so casual.


How our bill came....in an old children's book!

The beer and food was great and we even had a celebrity sighting (Denny Minogue? This is only according to Adam b/c we wouldn't have know who she was if we ran smack into her on the street). At the end of the meal our two groups parted ways, with grand plans to meet up later after their wedding was over.

We had walked to the restaurant from our hotel and it was such a nice day that we walked home. We walked up and down Brunswick Street and saw some amazing second hand stores. We passed this amazing church and gardens and took some photos.


Beautiful Church

We also passed by this funny stand near our hotel. They had all different nationality labels for their dipping sauces. American was barbeque.


Lord of the Fries!

Once we returned to the hotel and since we were without hosts, we decided to research where we should go for dinner. Adam had informed us that Melbourne has a very large Greek population so we decided to eat Greek. We looked online and decided to try a place called Saganaki in the Docklands area of Melbourne.

So we made it to Saganaki for a nice Greek dinner. Well, we got a big surprise. We had made a reservation, which when we got there immediately noticed we didn’t need as there were probably four other groups in the entire restaurant. They put us at a table for two that was directly up against a wall with a mirror.

The food was not that great and service was horrible seeing as there was no one else in the restaurant! The ironic thing was that right before we left to go to the restaurant, I had to google the address. When I brought it up there was one review saying that it was “the worst dining experience ever”. And we still went! We learned our lesson!

We decided after this terrible dining experience that we would just go home and get some rest. Lindsey broke this news to Filo via text and sarcastically added that we would be heading to our room to watch movies and braid each other's hair. Apparently this came through on his phone as we were going to "braid each other" and as you may imagine, he was confused. She clarified for him that we were joking about the braiding part, but were serious about not meeting up and he made it clear that he and Adam were none too pleased. It sounds like they had a great night enjoying each others company and ordering fruity absinthe drinks, however, so we hardly think we were missed.
