I'm usually fair and honest as well as easy to please but unfortunately this place really falls short of any substantial offering. Brand new and looking really modern and tidy inside sadly this is as far as it goes positively speaking as its food does not live up to its modern decor. The bathroom had what I am almost certain was faeces smeared on the floor and wall of the cubicle as I passed it, how does this even happen and persist to dry before detection?!
Onto the food, I had the crispy pork belly. Pork belly is usually quite a feature dish in that it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare properly. This is why paying $24 for it seemed almost reasonable, that is reasonable until it was actually served to me. It was presented as a medium sized cube with a crispy crackling layer that is better described as a rock solid slab of industrial matter, near impossible to bite or cut through. The meat gripping to the underside of this slab was unevenly cooked and oily. It was not tender nor did it melt in my mouth as most braised meats would be expected to. The roasted vegetable offering with the pork belly was well cooked. The 'sauce' tasted of burnt meat and caramelised sugar more than anything else really.
If you're thinking of coming here, don't, but if you have to eat here, stick with super safe pub food although I was told the salt and pepper squid had by my dining partner was ordinary too. read more
