Going with DH for 2 nights. First trip without the kids. I'm so excited!

We'll be staying in the CBD. Any nice places for dinner you recommend? Looking for something casual-ish for one night and a fancy-ish place the second night.

TIA

I should be cleaning my house
Amalfi's on Frome Rd is lovely for pizza/pasta etc.

If you like Japanese food, I would go to Shiki on your fancy night. It's one of the restaurants in the Intercontinental hotel on North Tce.

Can 2nd Amalfi on Frome St for your casual night out.

Shiki in Intercontinental is excellent as PP said. Went recently although it is probably the most xx'y in town.

I LOVE Rigonis on Leigh Street, Italian but good Italian, excellent service. They do great breakfasts too.

Press on Waymouth St but you would have to book, won rest of the year last year.

Melt on Waymouth St for casual. BEST pizza in town IMO.

Andre's polena bar & cucina. Had an awseome night there a few months ago with a girlfriend.

The Greek on Halifax

Chianti on Hutt St

Have fun!
