Wish: Summerlicious menu
Starter: lamb chops. Medium, done to my liking. Served with orange sweet beets, on a bed of slightly bitter purple lettuce and ...tahini?! That killed it for me, as the chops were tender but not flavorful - and a pesto smear on the plate couldn't provide depth to the dish.
Fusilli with apricots: yummy and creamy, same pesto as my lamb chops with a smattering of oyster and button mushrooms. The mushrooms provided texture, not flavour. I felt the entire dish was slightly disjointed as occasionally id get a sun dried tomato and four times I got a quarter of a sliced apricot. The only item which saved the "I make this at Marche " pesto pasta for me was the pine nuts which were generously sprinkled over top.
Dessert: coconut milk rice pudding with rum: take kheer and make it with coconut milk: great combination and delicious. Add rum: bitter unwelcome aftertaste which ruined a good dish.
Would I go back? For the ambience yes- the food, no.
