We just had a great lunch at the pre-opening of the Bondi, a new restaurant in the Gaslamp. It’s a proper Aussie “hotel”, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, also with several bars and dining rooms and an outdoor patio. In addition to really good food, they have Aussie craft beers (which they serve in excellent shape — they showed us the attention to detail they put into their draft system) and very friendly service.
They open for reals on Wednesday, I’m told. We were really impressed with the quality of everything, particularly considering it was just test runs. I strongly recommend checking it out once they’re open.
