Absolutely incredible culinary experience. Came here during restaurant week and had their lunch menu for $128++.
Looking at the names of the dishes, it wasn’t the typical fine dining I was used to. And I didn’t give much thought to it.
I arrived shortly after 12pm on a Friday. The venue wasn’t big, but spacious enough so as not to be too close to the other table. It was slightly dimmed with dark blue walls which gave a very cosy and unorthodox vibe. We were shown our menu and the staff promptly explained to us the concept behind the menu and the background of the name of the restaurant. Basically it is an Ireland inspired menu.
Each item was crafted with an inspiration and/or ingredient from Ireland. And each dish was perfect in terms of taste and execution. No one dish was something I’ve had elsewhere, with ingredients carefully but smartly infused into each item. We were also given a foie gras crème brûlée out of courtesy as the kitchen was busy preparing an elaborate dish for a guest and took longer than usual. Superb classy touch there. It’s also worth mentioning this crème brûlée was really delicious, whereby I believe the foie gras was actually infused into the egg custard. Turned out to be the favorite dish of my companion.
If anything, the only slight let down were the dessert and the Brie cheese add on. The dessert was beautifully executed however in terms of presentation I would have preferred something more precise. The Brie cheese was closer to a blue cheese, and I felt we could have been warned as the typical Brie cheese would not taste like that.
Aside from that, I had a really good time and would recommend this place!
