Palings Kitchen And - Castle Hill

Great balance of indoor/outdoor seating in a relaxed space, perfect for business lunches. The menu is huge and really does have something for everyone.

This is located on level 1 at The Ivy on George Street. It shares the dining space with Sunee's Thai Canteen as well as you can select from either menu when eating here. It is a very open space and lots of light pouring in. Service isn't too bad but they were a bit distracted (chatting to each other) when we were trying to flag them down to pay the bill. Apart from that they were quite friendly. <br/ <br/ We had the Braised Lamb Shank, Pan Roasted Corn Fed Chicken Supreme, and Pan Roasted Barramundi Fillet. The lamb was coming off the bone easily and had a nice topping of crispy sweet potato accompanied by creamy mash. The chicken was tender and not dry at all. It came with a lovely jus. The fish was well cooked and certainly the prettiest looking of the all the plates as it was sitting on a bed of mushy peas. <br/ <br/ Overall not bad here at all but service could be sped up a bit and slightly more attentive.

We ordered the lamb skewers with yoghurt sauce, cherry tomatoes and pita bread and the fish of the day with zucchini, peas and mushrooms. The dishes were cooked well, though the place was a little loud to have a proper conversation.

Great place for a drink, bite and catch up with friends. I only tried the Thai menu but it didn't disappoint. They also have happy hour in the evenings so you can have a couple of pre-dinner drinks! Favourite was definitely the calamari.

Fantastic environment.... Lot of fun for all age levels. Good was great. Highlight was the grilled haloumi!! The panacotta was beautiful too. Only criticism was that the arincini balls had way too many fennel seeds. Unfortunately they were hard to eat.would definitely go back again though.
