Many years ago now GG and I ventured to Claisebrook Cove for a very lovely lunch at Blackbird Restaurant. I had been meaning to head back for years now but just never got around to it. I recently spied a Dimmi special for 50% off food at Blackbird, which seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally head […]
