The Gate with Brian Cohen — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 20:03:00 +0000

Blue Mountains Seafood in Katoomba. Restaurant Review.

The Gate with Brian Cohen — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 20:03:17 +0000

With the mishmash of random typefaces that were not aligned and white tape masking obsolete items, the overhead menus of Blue Mountains Seafood in Katoomba resembled more of an ersatz ransom note than a guide of what was offered for sale on which to dine.
