Dining at Silverski in signature Japanese Restaurant - Oishii Go!
Oishii Go! is an exotic and entertaining addition to Falls Creek. The theme, “a hint of Japanese”, establishes not only the variety of food on offer, but also the entertainment. The food focuses on Japanese themed pub food, a tastier take on standard pub fare. It is tasty and salty and goes with beer!
Oishii Go!'s decor and menu is all about the land of the rising sun. Oishii Go! screams streamlined style. In keeping with the Japanese theme the design is linear, with exposed, polished wooden ceiling beams directing focus to the bar.
It's all good fun with mood lighting provided by a plethora of multicoloured paper lanterns suspended from the ceiling. A feature wall, draped in olive green velvet with tangerine chandelier lighting, runs from the bar to the terrace entrance.An orange-quilted, leather, high-backed banquette along the wall provides seating at tables, with Philippe Starck-designed transparent Kartell chairs and bar stools.
Barmen dressed in samurai - inspired bandannas and robes take command of a fridge stocked with rice-based alcohol. The cocktail list is named after Japan's arrival and departure points with the Hiroshima Airport, Osaka Aircity Terminal and Miyagi Airport blends of green tea, sake, lychees, ginger and white spirits.

Purchase hot and cold Sake, Sapporo canned beer, Asahi and Tiger beer in bottles and Kirin beer on tap and you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in a pub in Tokyo.
Dinner will be available from 6pm seven nights a week. The bar food is, as you would expect, peppered with Japanese horseradish including wasabi peas, golden shoestring chips with wasabi mayo, miso soup and Nagasaki saganaki grilled cheese.
