It\u2019s no secret that we <em>love<\/em> to wine and dine (ahem, just look at these pages!), so when The ROCK Design Quarter invited us to its September First Thursday, we were game, of course! And now we\u2019re officially sold &#8230; who wouldn\u2019t want to kick off the month by sitting back with a glass of something delicious in a beautiful setting with live music by local performers? Yep, it\u2019s a totally desirable evening &#8230; and here it is in a nutshell: As Matthew Gold got the evening started, so did we, with a tasty cocktail \u2013 there\u2019s nothing like a good ol&#8217; fashioned bourbon with bitters, lime and orange zest! The vibe? Relaxed. The seating? Plenty of choice &#8230; we opted to sit outside where all the action was at this contemporary-designed casual dining spot. And the food? Moreish! The Mediterranean-inspired meals combine traditional and new combinations to excite your taste buds. You can order just about anything from the diverse menu, from something a little lighter \u2013 like the beef trinchado cooked in a scrumptious red wine sauce \u2013 or share a pizza with your mates. But the ribs are a serious drawcard. We tucked into some succulent pork cage ribs with sweet potato fries. And. They. Were. <em>DE-LISH-OUS<\/em>! Nothing like a good wine to complement your meal &#8230; the wine list is extensive (there are a whopping 12 Sauvignon Blancs alone!). As we sat back sipping, the night rocked on with The Kiffness taking centre stage and we thought &#8230; we\u2019ll be back next month for sure! (And we highly recommend you go too.) Diarise October 3 from 7pm. Afro Caribbean Project will entertain. <em>Details: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheROCKDesignQuarter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The ROCK Diner Facebook page<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And that\u2019s just how we kicked off September, thanks to The ROCK Design Quarter First Thursday experience.
