Ablaze Grill and Bar could be a barometer of social events occurring in and around the Entertainment Quarter, as even the untrained eye will know there¡¦s a big show in town if Ablaze has all three of its levels open to hungry patrons flocking in to dine before or after the big event. One of the classier restaurants in the area, in the warmer months the fold-back, wrap-around windows of the main dining room (second level) open to the balmy night air, lending the restaurant a natural, spacious feel. Open for lunch and dinner seven days, during the evenings the restaurant is ablaze with red candles casting a warm glow from every table.
Great for meat-lovers, the menu focuses on grills of every imaginable kind (ribs, rumps, T-bones and cutlets to name a few) with seven different sauces to choose from. There¡¦s lots of seafood and salad entrees, a few vegetarian options for mains and a separate children¡¦s menu. Try the traditional Portuguese-style, flame-grilled chicken fillet with peri-peri sauce on a bed of spicy kipfler potatoes. When it¡¦s busy and the third level is open, you can grab the best seat in the house: up high, right at the end of the row, where you overlook the action below and can see all the way across to the lights of the city.
