| - First visit to Klein Harris and overall I enjoyed my time there. The weather was really nice so the patio was full (like everywhere else on the street!) Luckily for my friend and I, we prefer sitting inside anyway, so all was well.
We ordered 1/2 dozen oysters, toast 3 ways, mushroom ravioli, and for dessert we had the pavlova and fresh made doughnuts. (It was National Doughnut Day afterall ;p ) We shared all the dishes which is how most of the menu is designed. But feel free to order for yourself or share anything, they're more than happy to bring extra plates and cutlery as needed!
Everything was light and fresh. The oysters were shucked well and the mignonette added that expected lovely hit of acid (don't over do it with the mignonette unless you want pickled oysters! @.@ No bad trips here people! Hehehe get it? Bad drug joke! XP)
The ravioli was very tasty, it kept with the fresh and light direction. The arugula salad and tomatoes worked surprisingly well in the dish! The sauce at the bottom of the bowl was pretty great, very buttery! Yum!
The toast 3 ways was a bit of a surprise! I expected 3 large pieces of toast each with different toppings, but you actually get toast strips and 3 spreads: brown butter mushrooms (meh, ok but not super good), smoked onion jam (better), and canola oil poached tomatoes (my fave!)
Tip: layer up all 3
Better Tip:
Speaking briefly with the table next to ours, they really loved the diver scallops, so... skip the toast and go for the scallops!
Finally we get to dessert, the best part of that meal! The Pavlova was really amazing, it has that great crisp outside and chewy soft sweet amazing inside! The spiced screech whipped cream however was underwhelming (yes, I do mean that super high proof, white dog type, burning alcohol: screech!) Don't get me wrong, it was totally delicious! It's whipped cream! It just didn't live up to hype of the "screech" description.
But seriously, even without the screech, a pile of whipped cream, some fresh fruit, jam and perfect pavlova is happiness in a bowl!
The doughnuts were good, not mind blowing, but still good! They look like beignets, they're light and fluffy on the inside and come with a salted caramel sauce and a chocolate sauce. Probably because they're so light, you could have the whole thing to yourself without hating your life choices afterwards! Plus at $7 for a stack, it's worth a try!
In conclusion:
A lovely restaurant experience, I enjoyed everything I ate (some were obviously more enjoyable to me than others but nothing was bad or even close to bad.) The service was good, attentive but not hovering. The drinks were good but I'd have to sample more before really reviewing them. I would recommend this place to my friends, and I'll be going again for sure.
That famous/infamous screech makes another appearance in the Pork Roast so... gotta give that a go in the future! Cheers & thanks for reading till the end!
