Alice Thai Restaurant, at the Macquarie Hotel, offers a little bit of everything: Thai, Continental, curries, noodles, desserts, coffee and a bar. No MSG is used, and there are quick lunch specials Monday-Friday for AUD 7.50.
I ordered one of the lunch specials and inquired if it is spicy and asked for minimal or no spice. The pork dish had an ample portion of rice, and I found that I needed it to take away the spicy taste of the dish.
They accepted a credit card payment but wanted to leave the bill open till we finished ordering our drinks. They processed the bill, but it had to be done through a neighboring business. I'm not sure what was involved, but as long as it's transparent to the customer; that is, I don't have to be involved in the transaction more than I normally would be.
There's sidewalk seating, which we did for our lunch.
