Usually you only get shocking service if you are a big mob. If you are (say) a table of two or three you often get priority service. That's why McDonalds was so popular - you get instant service (no comment on the product).
Also, one of the other problems we had looking for alternate places was the time. Most places don't stay open that late for meals, even on Friday nights. We tried one place (good service, high prices - the Marigold I think) and they wanted us to eat up quickly because they wanted to shut the place and go home. The House of Guang Chow (whatever - sp) appears to be a family company, prepared to work back later. Possibly the reason why they didn't have what you wanted was maybe whoever placed the booking did not specify what was wanted. Someone mentioned water at Adelaide - I'd never order tap water in Adelaide. It's the last pump-out from the Murray River after all the other towns have done their thing in it for about 1500 km. You really want bottled water there. OTOH Melbourne tap water is excellent, you could probably top up your car battery with it (comes from Eildon Reservoir amongst others). -- Jill Rowling, Snr Des.
