I used to go to Eva at the Zoo quite a bit when I lived in the Eastern Suburbs, but it gradually dropped its standards, in my opinion. It was never as good as the Miramar Eva's, and its meals were really variable in quality.

And then some local Mums decided it was just the place to use as a sort of clubroom, which meant hanging out there for hours gossiping and hogging the few comfy banquettes while only having coffee, and their kids screaming round the place. So no wonder the ordinary diners relocated elsewhere, and the Zoo has decided to go for a caterer who can provide the service and the bucks.

I'll give the new one a go, maybe.
