“My Dining Out Experience” Domenico’s On Kings

By Mark Johns, Creative Director, Marx Design

THE KING OF ITALIAN With a warm welcome, seamless service and large servings of Italian favourites, dinner at Domenico’s was full of zest, excitement and delight.

The energy of a busy restaurant can be quite intoxicating, and there is nothing more atmospheric than a restaurant bursting at the seams - especially for a Monday night.

It’s as if the whole community was here for dinner. Mixed groups of couples, families, friends, birthday celebrations, tourists and locals created for an enjoyable and very satisfying evening.

We were shown to our table amongst the ‘organised chaos’ at play, thanks largely to the good-natured wait staff and owner, Domenic himself, moving between tables filling wine glasses and ensuring we’re all well fed.

A quick glance at the menu it was clear Domenico’s offer a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes. The choices for mains are anything but limited with a great selection; especially with the pizza and pasta range.

They also cater for vegetarians and those needing gluten-free options.

Tonight, however, we were offered a selected chef’s tasting menu of entrees, mains and dessert.

After ordering a beautiful glass of Santa Cristina Sangiovese Merlot from Tuscany, a thin base garlic and chive pizza bread 18

arrived to the table, cooked just right with a chewy base, light and fluffy on top with a generous topping of garlic aioli.

alla Marsala’ - Pan seared tender veal served with seasonal vegetables and a traditional marsala cream sauce. Bellissimo!

In succession, we were presented the ‘Cozze della Casa’ - Mussels of the House.

Beautiful fresh black mussels sautéed with rich napoli, a dash of cream, some torn basil and chilli served with ciabatta.

To truly authenticate our Italian experience .. we were introduced to the ‘Dom’s Supreme’ - A custom designed pizza by Domenic himself. The base ingredients of prosciutto, napoli sauce, mozzarella, king prawns, and pepperoni… combined with the amazing flavours of capsicum, mushroom, pineapple, anchovies, olives and onions ... and topped with a garlic aioli ... was supreme at it’s finest!

And if this wasn’t enough, the ‘Gamberi del Casa’ - Honey Chilli Prawns arrived. Sautéed king prawns in a honey, chilli and light cream sauce served on a Milanese risotto cake was our favourite dish of the night.

A much needed break between courses allowed time to digest and really soak in the atmosphere and appreciate the Italian themed restaurant. From the murals of famous Italian landmarks that covered the walls, to the authentic cultural music in the background, it was obvious Domenico’s was a local favourite to many.

Once the mains arrived we were ready to devour into our second course. The ‘fish of the day’… Atlantic Salmon cooked to perfection, and served on a bed of mixed fresh tomatoes and corn. Complimented with the soft texture and gentle flavour of two accompanied scallops, sliced avocado and squeeze of lime - this dish was a visual stand out, and a seafood lovers delight.

In addition, we were served the ‘Scaloppine

After another glass of the Santa Cristina, we somehow managed to fit in dessert.

The ‘Affogato” - Vanilla ice-cream with a shot of espresso coffee and Italian biscotto plus the ‘Gelati’ - Chef’s 3 flavour selection was a perfect way to conclude our dining experience. The dishes looked amazing and the taste was simply divine.

You can feel confident that the Dining Out experience at Domenico’s is truly authentic, with Italian owner and operator ‘Domenic’ sharing his 40 years of experience with diners and staff to ensure everyone is happy.

The service was fantastic, staff were friendly and the food was served with love.

Combined with the traditional atmosphere - vibrant yet relaxed environment, Domenico’s is a local Italian dining gem.

RESTAURANT 123 EBB My Dining Out Experience “Ebb is renowned for its delicious foods, great wine and sophisticated dining.”

Their new creation, Restaurant 123 in Mooloolaba, has been designed to create a casual atmosphere while appealing to a fine dining audience.

The site has been cleverly converted to take advantage of its corner position and its vast open entry. The ground floor entrance has more of a casual feel about it and is designed for walk-ins, cocktails and coffees, while the rear is more of a formal dining experience where bookings are recommended.

The service at this new restaurant is attentive and friendly, so you will immediately feel welcome.

The menu is neatly divided into entree, main, sides and desserts, plus an exciting degustation. What’s most impressive however, is the restaurant’s focus on unconventional dishes. Using only the freshest ingredients, the dishes are designed to bring the theatre of the kitchen to life and tantalise the taste buds.

The chef prepares creative combinations and fuses traditional and modern techniques to create contemporary dishes to suit Western culinary tastes.

My partner and I sat by the entrance door and ordered a glass of wine each. A ‘Crowded House’ Sauvignon Blanc and a ‘Leeuwin Estate’ Shiraz.

The restaurant manager was very polite and offered us a selection of dishes that provided a vast range of tastes and flavours.

We started with a bread plate that quickly followed with a beautiful palette cleanser … A small surprise creation of asparagus soup with onion.

28

From the smaller plates, the ‘confit lamb belly’ with buckwheat, pear, pecan nuts, sour cream, horseradish and endive was a standout dish, igniting the senses with the moist texture of the meat. Our second dish was the ‘turmeric scallops’, freshly cooked, with squid ink tempura, yogurt beetroot relish, chick peas, apricot and lime.

The ‘trio of mushrooms’ was a fitting serve as our third dish and was complimented with white cabbage, quince jell, oats truffle vinaigrette and sorrel. Simply divine!

A small wait before the meals allowed us to take in the new restaurant’s surroundings and interiors making the dining experience perfect for a night out. The design and layout is comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere while still remaining elegant.

A picture perfect grilled ‘salmon’ was served for main, with a tasty assemble of broccolini, avocado, capers, buttermilk, watercress and pineapple. A perfectly cooked dish that was visually astounding.

We were very tempted by the dessert menu, so after a palette cleaner of raspberry and rhubarb, we ordered a ‘white chocolate mousse’ accompanied with chocolate sorbet, macadamia brittle, passionfruit jell and blueberries. Each spoonful of the ‘melt in your mouth’ sorbet satisfied the sweet spot and was a refreshing way to end our dining out experience.

Everything from the ocean, to the cutlery, to the decor finishes, offered an enjoyable and delicious time.
