Not sure where all the hate is coming from for this place. We had an awesome dinner experience here. I'm wondering if people aren't understanding the concept of the menu. The dishes are meant to be ordered family-style and shared with the table, and they also come out as they are prepared, creating a stream of food and a prolonged eating experience. If you are looking for your standard, quick app/entree/dessert dinner then this is not the place to get it.
The food was universally good. The buttermilk buns are fantastic. They have a deliciously soft texture and are served with two awesome butters. The brussels sprouts and roasted spring onion were good, but the crispy potatoes stole show on the veg side of things. Shatteringly crisp outsides with creamy insides coupled with a fantastic sauce made these extraordinary.
From the fish section, we tried the salmon and the shrimp, and both were very good. From the meat section, the hanger steak had a really interesting blueberry marinade that was as unexpected as it was good. But what really stole the show was the pheasant. Beautifully crisp, fatty skin and a sweet, salty seasoning made this my favorite dish.
This place is perfect for a larger group that's willing to share as you get to sample a lot of different dishes, which is exactly what the menu was designed to do. You also get plenty of time to socialize as a stream of dishes come out of the kitchen.
I highly recommend it.
