As I was the one to arrange a meeting with potential work colleague my desire was to find a respectable venue for a one-on-one business lunch in the 'Huntingdale / Oakleigh area'. To start with, I was struggling to find a good place, when I remembered this quaint little 'pub-like' venue on Princes Hwy that (back in the day) I'd played at as a solo musician (about 20 something years ago).
Anyway, it was clear as soon as we walked in that it was a good choice. The decor was very 'festive' and the atmosphere very pleasant. More importantly, the staff member who served us (I, sadly, can't remember her name) was particularly friendly and the food was great value and very tasty.
I had a Chicken Caesar Salad that included (quite rightly and properly) a poached egg and the bacon and other accompaniments were well represented. Additionally, the chicken was well-cooked and very tender. My companion had a very healthy serving of pasta which he said was also very good.
So, although I think the name is weird, I am very pleased that I can recommend to all the Leighoak Club in Oakleigh for a particularly flavoursome meal for good value.
