We ordered:
Mains: Vegetarian platter
The mushroom parmesan tart was lovely as were the mixed vegetables but I was slightly perplexed as to why the third component was a dollop of guacamole. For a main it was slightly small.
Aged angus tenderloin of beef, medley of vegetables a la Grecque, soubise sauce and rich veal glaze
Sides: Rosemary garlic potatoes
Gorgeous crunchy exterior with fluffy insides and a good sprinkling of salt.
Dessert: Chocolate fondant with raspberries and cream
For a chocolate cake, this was lovely, but a fondant it was not. There was no ooze whatsoever which was disappointing as I was expecting a fondant. The raspberries were also a little mushy and too scant to offer enough tartness to balance the heavy sweetness of the chocolate cake.
Affogato
Mr.M: Best I have had, loved the addition of Frangelico.
Service: Good. As there were no vegetarian options for either entree OR main the staff and chefs arranged something for me to eat.
Atmosphere: Smart neutral. The interior was a cool brown with neutral tones and artwork on the walls. There is downstairs and upstairs seating. There wasn't much noise at all considering the tables were almost full. The lighting was low but not too low.
Parking: Good. There is street parking along High St although it can get a little scarce on a Friday or Saturday night, but there are side streets.
Website: None.
Hours: Tue-Fri noon-3.30pm, Tue-Sat 6pm-10.30pm
Would I return: Yes. The food was decent and it is just down the road for me.
Ahh... I love love love frangelico!
