    Hi,

    Thought I had posted on this site already, but my post in the dirtriders section points out otherwise.

    Little about me,
    Am a chef,
    Now own a bar and restaurant,
    Been in ACT 20 months (seemed like a good idea at the time:lol),
    Advance rescue certified diver,
    lousy dirtbike rider,
    no experience on roadbikes.(except for getting licence days)

    Reckon that covers it in a nutshell!

    Well you sure have a good bike for getting better at the dirt riding, welcome.
    (So once your riding slogan is "eat my dirt", will that get transferred to the Restaurant too? [only joking - in my simple way])

    Welcome a board man. We've got a great community of dirt riders here.
    So yeah, which restaurant?

    Belgian Beer Cafe in Kingston. Been a bit of a Mr Fixit for restaurants for a few years now so was asked to come to Canberra and sort this one out. Probably been the toughest fix to date but by all accounts it is going well now.

    If you were banned before April 2010 then the ban is finished. If after that date, then you should come in for a beer and introduce yourself as I have not approved anyone being banned.

    Mate here's a tip, been to your place twice for a midweek dinner in the past 2 months and bloody hell it's noisy....too noisy to go back if you want to talk to your friends over a meal.
    try incorporating some noise dampening features/furniture ;-)

    BTW welcome to CR

    Welcome aboard Alex. Great beer at the Belgian Beer Cafe, some of which is liquid personality in its purest form!

    That's good to hear - it means I might try there again :) (had *particularly* bad service on the one and only time I visited, but it was years ago).

    Welcome!

    Not really the place for a quiet romantic dinner eh? Can't really and don't want to make it quiet as the whole point is a noisy beer hall.

    figured I had my work cut out for me when I googled the place and read all the anonymous keyboard critics reviews. before April 2010 was a bit of a panning but not too bad after that. Should you venture in again make yourself known, Follow the rose petals on the ground and that is where I will be:lol
