| - Overall a pleasant and different experience.
A long narrow room with the kitchen at the back, a bar on one side and small tables quite close together. There is quite an echo.
The menu is limited to 3 starters, three "plates", and three deserts, which are varied quite frequently.
Hot healthy bread with a cheese, sprinkled with onion dip was brought to the table shortly after we sat down. A good start.
We had poached shrimp with cucumber and tomato vinaigrette which was absolutely delicious, rather like a mild ceviche. The raw beef, radish, buckwheat resembled a very mild tartar, with the buckwheat providing crunch. A small dish.
For our main course, we had white tuna with peas and butter. This too was excellent, with snow peas, fresh peas and lightly done tuna steaks. The roast lamb, rare, broccoli and potato was good, with the potato in a sort of balsamic type sauce. We finished with raspberry vanilla tart which was small but well made.
There are at least half a dozen beers, ciders, and a somewhat limited wine list.
The meal comes in quite pricey at over $100 per head.
