    The staff at Karoo are excellent. Once again we had a delicious meal. Their Salt & Pepper Squid with Garlic Aioli as an entree was perfect and the Cuban Pizza was delicious. Pancetta, Prawns and Pineapple. Interesting combination, but always delicious.

    First time at Twenty74 Bar and Grill for 6 of us. We went mid-week and it was not crowded. Some ordered share plates and some ordered individual dishes. Everyone was really pleased with the menu, the quality of the food and the young, pleasant efficient staff. The Coffin Bay Oysters, Garlic Prawns and Duck breast with bok choy were especially good. The fact that it is also BYO makes it a very reasonable night out. It is a small venue with some outside seating in a quiet suburban street so you don't get great views but it was great to sit outside on such a hot night. Being under cover if it rains is also good. We are recommending Twenty74 to all or friends. We will definitely be back.
