Seasons on Ruthven, Toowoomba

On a recent visit to my mother, our family went to dinner at Seasons on Ruthven, the restaurant attached to the Ambassador motel.  It was a very warm night, and we were lucky enough to be seated out on the balcony:

where we could watch the summer sun set:

My mother is a fan of herb and garlic bread, so we ordered the garlic, herb and parmesan baguette ($10):

The balsamic vinegar drizzled on top of this baguette was a delicious touch.  Our waitress was disappointed that we did not try the edible marigolds.

For main, my mother ordered a special of the day, almond crusted barramundi served with vegetables and tartare sauce ($27):

My brother also ordered from the specials, in his case, chicken breast with cherry sauce ($27):

I ordered off the menu - the pan seared pork fillet with apricot and prune grand marnier glaze, parmesan baked potatoes, almond broccolini, baby carrots, and of course, the ubiquitous edible marigold ($34):

I can't comment on anyone else's dishes other than to say that they were routinely well presented.

My meal was absolutely scrumptious - I adore meat and fruit together, and the pork was cooked to perfection.  However, after deciding to try the edible marigold, I can say that I am not a fan - it has a very grassy flavour that was not appealing to me.

The staff were very friendly and efficient, and of course, our table overlooking the sunset was just lovely.  I would definitely go to Seasons again.
