Went for dinner with friends on a Friday night, first visit.
First impression was good, place nicely decorated and was very busy.
Lovely drinks and good selection of non alcoholic drinks for designated drives.
Starts we shared
-CORNISH CRAB & PARMESAN ARANCINI, which were okay but we found bacon in the garnish which was not stated on the menu (my husband is Pescatarian so this was not okay)
-KOREAN FRIED CAULIFLOWER which was tasty with the dip was nice but was very soft and was mostly batter very little cauliflower.
-TEMPURA BATTERED SQUID, not bad at all and dip was tasty, good amount of garlic
For mains I had STICKY CHINESE SPICED BELLY PORK (see photo). This meal came out only just warm. One piece of pork was lovely and soft, the other was terribly dry and tough.
The rice was terrible and horrible - I could not identify a gain of rice. It was very mushy and compacted and cold. I did complain about this but was just told that’s how egg fried rice is!
SALTED CARAMEL CRÈME BRÛLÉE
with caramelised banana, banoffee puree, caramel brandy snap and banana crumb
Crème brûlée was nicely set and a good crunchy sugar layer on top- but could not identify a trace of salted Carmel. Banana weren’t caramelised but just dry banana slices. Banoffee “purée” was just a sauce, which was nice but very little present on the plate.
Brandt snap had no snap and was very soft.
My friends and husband and similar experiences with their dish’s.
One positive was that there was a good selection for gluten free.
Over all not a good experience and we’re we’re not impressed. Will not be visiting again.
Very over priced for quality of food.
