Here I am just doing my small part in keeping up the high rating average for this spot. They deserve it. Excellent service and effort by all staff. These are classic dishes made with creativity and such care.
Given how close my office is to this spot it's surprising that I only recently checked it out (an after work dinner date with dad). I LOVED the salad special that I ordered as an app - I cannot recall the name but it was a very fresh springy one made with heirloom this and that. I particularly liked the contrasting element of a big hunk of this crispy speciality pork placed on top of it. It tasted like a different version of bacon. The Muscovy Duck is a huge portion and so tasty -- I would definitely order this again. The beet chutney on the burger was a nice touch.
I would not order the Japanese cheesecake again - a bit too out there for me, which I was quite surprised by. I appreciated the interesting tastes, textures and innovation aspect very much but I don't know, I just didn't love this one. The dainty deconstruction took away from my enjoyment and the flavours did not come together for me in a fully pleasing way. Overall, I was detached from my plate rather than lost in the moment as Fatty Natty can typically be with her dessert.
