Worth the wait?
A good question!
I'd been trying to get into the Beefbar in Central for a while. I'd ring up to try to make a booking, only to be told that they were completely booked up. The few times I'd taken the chance of a walk in resulted in an almost comical response from the Beefier 'gate keepers'.
And that's how I'd started to think about the phone booking team, as well as the door staff; gate keepers. Getting in became insurmountable and I eventually gave up and forgot about trying to get in.
It wasn't until my regular lunch date with a colleague and friend that the prospect of visiting the Beefbar arose again. When JP suggested visiting, I gave a whimsical 'why not', thinking that it would still be nearly impossible to get into (even six months after opening). You can imagine my surprise when the reservation was confirmed.
I guess a Monday at lunch might be the perfect time to hit a new(ish) restaurant in this city!
Our lunch date/meeting was at 12 and I'd arrived on time but heard from JP that she'd be a few minutes late after finishing a meeting in head office. I was cool with that, it gave me the opportunity to 'sticky-beak' around the place once I'd arrived at the eerily familiar front desk (yeah, I'd tried to get in a few times!)
