| - We ate here 2 weeks ago - We had a buttermilk powder dusted fried shrimp (delicious) and a 1/2 dozen oysters to start. My fiancee had the surf and turf burger (beef + battered fish onto) which was quite yummy. I ordered the halibut stuffed with blood sausage, onto of stinging nettle gnocchi. The dish looked beautiful with the vibrant green colour of the gnocchi.
However, when I cut into the halibut, it was cold on the inside, transparent, and difficult to cut into, just like a piece of raw fish. I realized that the entire dish had cooled down significantly, the gnocchi was not warm when i bit into it. I am never the type to send a dish back to the kitchen and usually takes a lot for me to do so. I decided I'd ask my waitress, who indeed brought the dish back. After waiting what felt like 30 minutes (my partner had already polished off his burger and i was starving), the chef personally came by with a new dish (this time the gnocchi was actually warm), and handed it to me from over the fence. She proceeded to tell me this is how the fish is supposed to be (seriously? it was transparent and cold.!I know my raw fish. I love sashimi!). I have a feeling it was probably difficult to cook it thoroughly because it was so thick, and was stuffed...
If you come here, one tip - do not order the halibut, unless you like half-cooked halibut.
