Review #1 - Blue Skies

Saturday August 25, 2007
Caesar salad (entrée) at Blue Skies
Hobart, Tasmania


We kick off the reviews with a caesar from one of our favourite restaurants - Blue Skies, on the water front in Hobart.

The dinner was our six monthiversary from when we had our first date, so it was an auspicious occasion all around.

I will also preface the review by saying that as this was six months ago, and our first foray into the world of culinary reviews, not to mention the fact that this blog wasn't even conceived back then, the review may be a little light on. We hope to correct this with future reviews.

Anyway, after Julianne had finished her entrée caesar salad, I recorded the review on my mobile phone, and while I have the full transcript of the review, I'll just provide the pertinent points here.

Taste: Unfortunately, no comments were recorded for taste - only the score of 2½/4. We'll rectify that if we stop by Blue Skies for a caesar salad again.

Ingredients: The salad only achieved half marks (1½/3) for ingredients because it was unfortunately eggless. It was also marked down for unadvertised chicken and the wrong dressing. It did, however have anchovies which improved the taste. As you can tell, Julianne likes anchovies. I, on the other hand, can't stand the things.

Presentation, Service and Value for Money were all given 1/1. No issues with any of them.

I mentioned earlier that the salad was had as an entrée. Unfortunately it wasn't offered as a main course, but that did not detract from the overall impression.

Score Summary
Taste: 2.5
Ingredients: 1.5
Presentation: 1
Service: 1
Value for Money: 1
 
Total: 

7/10
