Finally, Part 4 of 2nd March '08! We went to Rockpool for dinner at 8:45pm. Having no reservation, they sat us at the bar area. Surprisingly, the bar area was just as comfortable as the main sitting area. The only difference was that we didn't have the Yarra River view but had plenty of wine bottles to ogle at. I was expecting to be put on to high stools and cramped bar tops. Instead, we were seated in nice comfortable chairs as per photo below.
Not feeling too hungry, I ordered a Wagyu Spaghetti Bolognese priced at $28. It was the best Spagbog I've eaten although the serving was a bit small for the price. I don't think I'll have it again because no matter how good the chef is, how exciting and adventurous can one get with a spagbog anyway?
The table next to ours had a Wagyu hamburger which looked more tempting to me. Must try that next time.
Keith had a T-bone steak which was done to perfection as a medium rare. You can see how red it still is from the 2nd picture. The meat was tender, juicy and had a wonderful grilled taste to it. The best!
We ordered a side plate of roasted mushrooms which was quite good but the portion simply too large for the 2 of us. 
For dessert we had a summer strawberry salad with rose granita. I've had it 3 times now and it's one of my firm favourites. Keith ordered a praline mille-feuille which is a pastry with pralines in between. The serving was huge again. We were in a hurry to finish our dessert as we had to rush to the car park before it closed at 10pm. In our hurry, we forgot to take pics. We had 5 minutes to scoff everything down so we didn't enjoy the dessert as much as we could have. And wow, I've finally finished telling my tale!
