Restaurant Feedback for Platform 9 - Metro Hotel Ipswich International

To everyone who worked on Saturday 6 March,

My family and I would like to thank you all for a fabulous dinner on Saturday night. My husband and I had been to your restaurant twice previously and enjoyed dinner so we decided to take our parents along. I must admit that my father was sceptical about a "nice restaurant" being in Ipswich but at the end of the evening he couldn't stop raving about the lovely food and service. Even the next morning they were all talking about what a lovely evening it was.

We all had a fantastic night - the food was great and the service from everyone, particularly, Hannah and Amy was fabulous.

A credit to everyone who was there on Saturday night.

Kind regards,

N.Sims-Chilton

Hotel serves up head chef - Platform 9, Metro Hotel Ipswich International

AS SHE enters her fourth year in Platform 9 at the Metro Hotel Ipswich

International, to say Lisa Dobe is dedicated to her job would be an understatement.

The 26-year-old Bundamba resident is shaping up to be one of the best assets the prestigious hotel has had in its history, after her recent appointment as head chef.

Mrs Dobe has combined her culinary creativity with a boundless enthusiasm to produce a magnificently simple menu, boasting delicious meals for entrees, mains, deserts and 24-hour room service.

She said working this year’s Valentine’s Day was all part of the job, and that guests could expect nothing but the best if they chose to dine with her at Platform 9. “I am looking forward to new challenges every day,” Mrs Dobe said.

No V8 Supercars at Willowbank

V8 SUPERCAR officials yesterday said they had no intention of including Ipswich in their 2010 calendar, but Mayor Paul Pisasale said he would not take no for an answer as he tried to negotiate its return.

On Thursday V8 Supercars Australia said they would not put on a race at the Queensland Raceways track at Willowbank this May due to a breakdown in negotiations.

Millions will be wiped from the Ipswich economy – with hotels saying they alone could lose more than $100,000 over the weekend – if emergency negotiations could not change V8 Supercar’s position.

Cr Pisasale said he had been involved in emergency meetings with Sports Minister Phil Reeves to try and save the race.

“I won’t rest until this is sorted out. It’s absolutely essential this race goes ahead and I’ll keep going until it’s back on the calendar,” he said.

A V8 Supercars spokesman said they would work out their final 2010 calendar “without Ipswich in mind”, but Phil Reeves confirmed he had been involved in emergency negotiations to save the race.

“I’ve been working with Mayor Paul Pisasale to see the annual V8 Supercars event at Queensland Raceway continue,” he said.

Metro Hotel general manager Alex van Kersen estimates the cancellation of this year’s V8 Supercar race in Ipswich would cost his business more than $100,000 this year.

Mr van Kersen said he was in disbelief that the money-spinning event could fall by the wayside.
