Curious about this menu for a while and popped in tonight. I always order tartare if I am out and was delighted to see Skate on the menu. I ate a lot of skate back in Ireland. Every Friday.
Curried Lamb Tartare – $23
I was looking forward to this as a lamb tartare is rarely seen and a curried lamb was interesting. It looked great on the plate and served with delicious popadoms but for me the curry was way too overpowering. The lamb may aswell have been any sort of red mush as I couldn't taste it. I even tried to get some lamb without the curried sauce and minted creme. Just no taste. Full on curry. Such a shame
Skate $32
Again, rarely see skate on a menu so was looking forward to this too. Came with a curried butter and labneh. Skate was really well cooked, delicious and the curry didn't overpower this dish. I could still taste the actual skate. The tiny blob of labneh was a nice accompaniment but wish there was more of it. In fact I wish there was more of everything. Very small serving of fish for the price. Apologies for the bad pic, I wanted to taste so bad 🤣
A bottle of sparkling water brought my bill to $86 after tax and tip and I left hungry and disappointed. Should have just went for ramen
The expense of eating out has hit its peak for me. It actually hit a while back but these two dishes piqued my interest but have confirmed it's just not worth eating out anymore. $86 for two average plates is just ludicrous. The place was fairly busy for it's location and a Wednesday night. I guess some people still have money to burn, just not me.
