I
went
to
Aspley
Tavern
with
my
wife
and
son
on
February
5th.
I
had
the
calamari
and
a
veggie
burger,
my
son
had
chicken
wings
followed
by
a
mushroom
garlic
pasta
fish,
and
my
wife
had
garlic
bread
followed
by
a
risotto.
Mine
was
fine,
but
the
calamari
portion
was
really
stingy.
I’ve
never
seen
so
small
a
portion.
My
son’s
was
enjoyable
and
the
wings
were
plentiful
and
tasty.
My
wife’s
garlic
bread
was
good,
too,
and
filling.
However,
I
had
to
put
in
a
complaint
to
the
young
waitress
about
the
risotto.
Risotto
is
supposed
to
be
rich
in
texture
and
taste.
I’ve
eaten
many
in
my
life
and
cooked
as
many
as
that.
This
was
nothing
of
a
sort
and
had
the
texture
of
a
watery
gruel.
In
Taiwan,
where
I
spent
20
years,
they
have
a
really
great
gruel
called
congee,
which
can
be
thick
and
delicious
done
right.
This
was
nothing
and
resembled
something
that
was
made
from
leftovers.
It
had
no
consistency
and
no
taste.
In
a
restaurant,
that
shouldn’t
be
happening.
I’m
sorry,
but
no.
That’s
not
acceptable
for
over
twenty
bucks.
My
wife
asked
me
not
to
complain
in
person,
but
I
had
to.
I
heard
nothing
of
it
after
politely
informing
a
young
lady
of
my
concerns.
no
follow
up.
Therefore
no
return
customer.
That
was
a
deflating
experience.
We’d
wanted
to
visit
Aspley
Tavern
since
I
arrived
in
Australia
six
months
ago.
I
don’t
think
we
will
go
again.
