The Stables
Oatlands, Tasmania
'Twas Easter Sunday, and Julianne and I travelled to Oatlands for a family gathering. While we were there, we had lunch at The Stables.
No photo this time, so we'll get straight into the scoring for the Chicken Caesar Salad consumed by Julianne.
Firstly, as is traditional in these reviews, is taste.
Julianne: "My impressions were that it was very, very nice. It looked fantastic and it tasted fantastic. It was extremely tangy which, while it tasted nice, did strip some of the skin off my gum."
Despite the gum issues, Julianne did rate this as one of the top three tasting Caesar Salads she's had. A big call, and it would have been awarded full marks had it not been for the tang (which, we should point out, is entirely down to Julianne's well documented food issues, and not a reflection of the quality of the tang itself). 3½ out of 4.
Ingredients wise, this was a regular Chicken Caesar, without croutons. Once again, one small issue prevented full points here: the salad was advertised on the menu as having anchovies, yet there was no sign of the little critters in the dish. 2½ out of 3.
With the four chicken strips perched at the major compass points, the dish was well presented; the service was very friendly and accommodating to Julianne's "issues"; and at $10.50, the salad was great value for money. Top marks for each of these.
That gives us a total of 9 out of 10, and places the Chicken Caesar Salad at The Stables in a thoroughly deserved top four spot on our review score list.
