"It doesn’t get any better than a “Tipsy Tea” party, and chef Carrie Nahabedian is doing it big at her Mediterranean-influenced eatery at The Gwen. You may choose from two boozy packages at Kostali: Spill the Tea or A Bit of Bubbly & Spot of Tea for 90 minutes every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Both are bottomless, with unlimited tea cocktails for the former and all-you-can-drink prosecco or traditional tea for the latter. The idea of infinite No Drama Llamas (high mountain mango tea-infused macchu pisco, ginger liqueur, lime, coconut liqueur, high mountain mango tea) sounds tempting. Each package comes with a tea tower topped with a variety of house-made sweet and savory treats like vanilla cream scones and smoked salmon toast." - Audarshia Townsend

Spiaggia

Italian restaurant · Gold Coast

"We’ve made the difficult decision not to re-open Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia. We were very much looking forward to welcoming back our family and guests. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our efforts to restructure our lease, which was necessary to reflect the realities of operating a restaurant in an office building, post-pandemic. It’s been an incredible journey, and we are beyond proud of, and grateful for, 37 remarkable years. From the moment we envisioned the restaurants, our passion has been to elevate fine dining Italian cuisine. The endless number of special occasions, the most passionate staff and the amazing talent still delighting guests around the country, will remind us that Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia will live forever."
