Bakeries, confectioneries and restaurants lined up from the beginning of town marked by Oxley Street
The Stone Room Tapas and Bar
Though the place was not full, the staff seemed very busy. There was probably some spillover from the award winning Eschalot Restaurant across the road which was fully booked.
Spinach & ricotta empanadas
Mussels in garlic and white wine sauce
Seafood paella - uneven and soggy at the bottom
Mushroom fried with garlic - similar rendition of chopped parsley
Hungry patrons may find the wait too long to endure, as did one couple, who quietly left after 10 minutes of failing to get the wait staff's attention to take orders.
While the food quelled hunger pangs and pleased the palate initially, it lacked the superfluous flavours of Spanish cuisine and was overly seasoned with salt. Be prepared to drink lots of water after the meal.
Historic Buildings
On the other side of the Old Hume Highway, are the correction centre and court houses, built from sandstone in the 1800s.
