I booked an early table for two, as it is half price oysters and wine from 6-8pm every day. Taking advantage of this we ordered a couple of French oysters which were $30 each. They were large, plump, juicy, very flavourful and perfect with just a couple of drops of lemon juice. We were lucky the evening that we went, that a couple of Californians were in the restaurant showcasing some exclusive reds and whites and paired my girlfriend's oyster with a crisp, slightly metalic white, which worked v
We were lucky the evening that we went, that a couple of Californians were in the restaurant showcasing some exclusive reds and whites and paired my girlfriend's oyster with a crisp, slightly metalic white, which worked very well indeed.
For food we wanted a variety of snacks, so ordered Korean beef tacos which were small, but the beef was very tender and melted in the mouth. (We ordered a starter portion of two, for a main you are served three).
We also had Dungeness Crab Stuffed Piquillo Peppers which was was rammed with full bodied crab meat and apple. Three came on a plate and they were good snack size for the two of us. They came on a bed of lightly dressed rocket leaves.
We felt obliged to try the house garlic fries and weren't disappointed. Imagine your favourite garlic bread recipe, and then transfer it onto thin cut, crisp fries. They were excellent and didn't need the addition of the home-made ketchup, nice as it was. Though being from England, I baulked at the prospect of paying $68 for a bag of chips.
Still not sated, we opted for the deep fried calamari. Instead of rings of flesh we were served a plate of lightly battered tentacles and a sweet and sour sauce. Far from disappointing, these were again very pleasant and light, not tough as they can be if badly prepared.
To finish (right before happy hour ended) we had a couple of full glasses of red, my girlfriend choosing a 2009 Venge Silencieux, while I went for a 2009 Fleury Lucky 8. delicious and full bodied, these had deep fresh berries notes with an after taste of dried fruits such as raisins and prunes.
Not a restaurant I would go to every day, but service was prompt and helpful, the addition of the visiting suppliers was a bonus and the ambience was chilled, jovial and friendly.
