“This was the last place I would think one could try exotic meats like kangaroo and ostrich steaks! You don’t really think of a place with 50 gazillion choices of beer to choose from to offer such items…but those were on their long specials menu, and so of course we had to try. We had kangaroo steaks before so decided on the ostrich steak that was well grilled and very tender cooked to a medium rare. Also liked their crab dip and portobello mushrooms topped with sausage, bacon and cheese. The rib eye special was great as well and it was worth it. It was nice to be in such a high energy atmosphere.”

She’s entertaining in her descriptions, and the trip is a one-to-one personal guided tour. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and this was a comfortable introduction — not scary at all, no high speeds. My companion truly enjoyed the experience from the sidecar.
