I brought my wife here for a birthday dinner. We recently moved back from the San Francisco Bay…read moreArea where I had lived for 15 years. That area is awash with world-class restaurants owned/run by top-name chefs. We had many opportunities to indulge, but also to gain a better appreciation of blending flavours, food preparation and presentation, service, and, basically, style. It was a pleasure to come to Shaun Dickens' restaurant and experience the same very high quality of service, food, and style as we had over the previous years. Shaun even emailed me prior to our meal to check on our vegetarian preferences, which I had referenced in my reservation. Nice touch. Walking through the door, we were warmly welcomed, ushered to a window-view table, and provided with pre-dinner amuse-bouches, along with a pre-dinner drinks menu. The wine menu showed a broad range of excellent choices from all over the world, which was refreshing compared to the almost all-California wine menu (as you would expect) in San Francisco. Our appetisers and main courses were things of beauty - almost too well presented to want to spoil. But spoil we did, and the fantastic range of flavours left us sated... but still with some room for dessert. A "happy birthday" message was kindly written on to my wife's dessert plate, and we were given after dinner treats along with an extremely reasonable bill. One of the servers, the young lady who presented all the dishes, was extremely professional and polite, clearly mindful of delivering a higher level of dining experience - but by some standards she might want to relax a little. Overall, an excellent choice for a special meal, and we will definitely go back for more.

After a glass of prosecco, we had the twice-baked cheddar souffle with mustard dressing and mackerel pate (see photo) followed by pork fillet with baby veg and madeira jus and the slow-cooked shoulder of lamb (which takes 12 hours to prepare!). We had 2 large glasses of italian red with our meal and for dessert the apricot panna cotta an an Irish coffee mousse with ice-cream. The whole meal was totally delicious, very light and bursting with freshness and flavour. Including the drinks and coffee it came to £56 for 2. A new favourite.

However, that's where all the good ends. it was a 3 hour 3 course meal, for no reason other than a good 30 minute wait between courses. Even 15-20 minutes passed between the main, palate cleanser and the dessert course. Service was slow, clumsy, inattentive and absent. We had the Guinea Fowl and the Crustacean (a soup) for starters. Now, I don't ever feel like I need to mention to a restaurant supposedly of this quality that I have a sensitivity to MSG because surely a restaurant of this standard would not have to stoop to using products that include it? Nope, wrong. Whilst waiting for the main course, I could start to feel that pressure and numbness on my cheek bones - a sure sign of MSG present. The Guinea Fowl was decently cooked, and the flavours boring. Unsure of why charred baby corn was present as it served as a distraction than a compliment. The Crustacean soup was overpowered by the broth. The Portland Crab with it's delicate flavour didn't stand a chance - and the abalone fungi added a texture but not flavour as one could only taste the broth and nothing else. Mains were equally, if not even more disappointing. The Pork neck was dry and overcooked. It was so dry you were forced to eat it with more sauce which made it even more cloying. The sauce was the perfect consistency but someone must have knocked over the vinegar into it as it was so sharp you found the dish rather trying to complete. The fish dish was really no better. For a Mexican British chef, you'd imagine he'd stick to his roots, but he's branching out into Asian flavours with both the Osmanthus and Chrysantemum broth and now a Yuzu sauce for the fish. The yuzu flavour way overpowered the Sea Bass (which unlike Cod, at least has some flavour), and took over the entire dish. The gentle flavours of the Cardoons and pickled mushrooms and onions didn't survive either. Lets not even get onto dessert. All in all, after £140 worth of a meal, it was less than worth it's salt. I'd rather have gone to an amazing Gastropub with simpler but better done food and done without this experience.

I rarely have room for dessert at lunchtime, but I'm desperately keen to try the coconut baked cheeseccake with the mango cream! Maybe next time...

Since then man has not had to search far for his food, apart from the abundance of fish in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is blessed with luxurious supply of vegetables and fruits, which are used in many ways. The coconut palms, apart from providing oil and copra are the source of coconut milk, a vital ingredient in Sri Lankan cooking. Sri Lankans love food that explode with flavours and many enjoy rice & curry, deep fried dishes, tasty sweet and savoury snacks and mouth watering desserts.
