This place is better now than ever. I have been going to the freeway for a few years now and I have to say the new owners of the Bistro are unreal. I am at the Freeway at least once a fortnight, its my local, and I find that I can't walk past the desserts display without taking a peek at what's new.

I'm loving the new bands that are playing on Friday and Saturday nights, they really liven up the place and make my boyfriend wanna "boogie oogie oogie".
It has to be said that I don't care for much of what is happening on the bar side of the place, but I seem to always have to go over there to get a drink as there is no one manning the bar on the restaurant side.

Before the new owners took over I always used to order a steak, and I thought they were good. The new chefs are sensational. There has not been one thing I have disliked and I have ordered half of the menu. The salmon is great, the steaks are even better than before, the nachos is beautiful, but my absolute favourite is the garlic prawns.

The thing that puts this fabulous place over the top is the dessert. This is the first bistro that I have been to that serves Creme Brulee, yum, and the first bistro that I have been to that decorates plates like you have paid big $$$$, when it actually is very reasonable. I could rave on and on about this place but my final word is going to be "yum".
