I've been impressed with restaurants from Pirata Group. This is the third out of the four outlets I've tried. Like Pici, Meats doesn't take reservations, so my friends and I decided to go early, at 7pm on a Saturday, to be exact to avoid crowds. They don't seat until everyone is present, so I had to wait for some laggers before being seated. We were seated immediately when everyone arrived. Situated in the old Jaspas venue, the interior is comfortable and happening. The main focus was the see-th
Situated in the old Jaspas venue, the interior is comfortable and happening. The main focus was the see-through grill/kitchen area. With its name, menu items are primarily meat oriented. They have an "omakase" option for $420, where the chef chooses 8 of the restaurant's favourite dishes for the table to share. Note, everyone at the table must choose this option. We decided it was too much for us and ordered a la carte.
For starters, we ordered Roasted Chicken Croquettes with roasted garlic dip. It was amazingly good, perfectly deep fried with the right amount of chicken and mashed potatoes.

We also ordered the Chicken Wings with hot sauce, pickled celery and blue cheese dip. Another tasty starter.

For mains, we ordered the night's special, Grilled Skirt Steak atop Foie Gras seasoned with sea salt and spring onions. The meat very very tender and tasty, however, it was a tad too salty.

Next came the Iberico Presa (pork) with black garlic and miso better and pork cracklings. We originally mistaken it as beef because of the colour of the meat was very similar. The flavour was not bad, wished the meat was a bit tastier.

This was followed by the Rotisserie Chicken with chicken sauce. The meat was very tender and the sauce was the highlight.

Along with the mains, we ordered a bunch of sides. All of which were excellent. We ordered Heirloom Tomatoes with pickled cucumber, mint, ricotta salata - very refreshing and had strong tomato flavour. Glasgow Salad (it's really skinny fries). We ended up ordering two portions because it was that good! Ugly Potatoes cooked in chicken juices and garlic followed - very flavourful! Lastly came the Slightly Spicy Fried Rice with meat of the day, fried egg and sriracha mayo - blended well together and had strong flavours. I usually can't take spicy and thought it was ok.

The disappointment were the desserts. We ordered the Pear Tarte Tatin with bourbon caramel and vanilla ice cream. The pear tasted strange and the tart was quite doughy.

We also ordered the Coconut Lime Pie with lime curd, meringue and ice cream. Nothing much could be said except it's not worth ordering.
Despite the disappointment with the desserts, I would still return to try other savoury dishes. Service was really good. By the time we finished, a crowd formed outside so the staff wanted to turn the tables, but they didn't pressure us too much to leave. They were nice and hinted to us it was time to leave, which we gladly asked for the check.
