My usual dinner party and I decided to try the newest entry to the neighborhood Wickson Social. Wickson Social is the most recent project of the folks who brought us the Oxley as well as the Queen and Beaver Public House. I have walked passed multiple times without noticing as there is much construction in the area and the door is fairly inconspicuous. The main bar and dining area boast a contemporary stylish decor. It was fairly busy so they sat us in the back room the "Bird's Nest".
We ordered the Spiced Maple Glazed Pork Jowl & Matchstix and Cheese Plate with Red Onion Jam & Walnut Toasts for starters. The cheese plate was was fine but the pork jowl was a pass for me. I shared the Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder with Curried Aioli (5/5) and Cep-Tarragon Risotto with Dry Cured Venison (4/5) for mains. I washed all of this down with the 2014 Pinot Grigio, Luigi Righetti (4/5). For me the Chocolate & Caramel Sponge Cake with Salted Ice Cream (5/5) with Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Port was the hedonistic height of the evening. We will definitely be back.
