The new Chalk Hotel is a vast complex of bars and eateries, all decked out with crisp, airy white decor, modern furnishings, high ceilings and sparkling lights that reflecting off the white teeth and spangled outfits of their young and beautiful clientele. Sticks is the more upmarket dining effort in the hotel, offering a stylish menu of modern Australian cuisine. Upmarket it may be, but Sticks is still quite open to the rest of the hotel and gains a down-to-earth feel and an occasional edge of excitement from the charged hum of the bright young things in the bar. The restaurant also extends out into an alfresco area that is no less buzzing. If all the activity has you forgetting that this is a formal restaurant, chef Andrew Pont's menu ought to be a sufficient reminder. The unique dishes - such as seared Tasmanian salmon with coriander black bean dressing, or the Egyptian-spiced beef with smoked aubergine, roast garlic mash and native pepper jus - are immaculately presented and remind one that this is no pub bistro.

I beg your pardon?
The food was pretty good although some of the sauces were not to my taste and the service was ok. However, the hotel was crowded - not entirely surprising for a Friday night - but it was really noisy! The noise of the bar on the upper level wafted down into the restaurant and made conversation almost impossible.
I'd be happy to go again but would go on a quieter night.
