Food porn alert. Game night got canceled due to store owner being sick.
One if my players didn't check the messages so he joined us for dinner. Bit more upmarket than our usual joints.
Wife had a Caesar salad. Best one I've tried. I just ordered the steak as I wasn't brave enough to try anything else.
The steak was nice slightly undercooked vs what I ordered but it's a preference not requirement. Came on a bed of vegetables including mashed avocado.
Mate ordered finish of the day which was Orange Roughy. My beer was named after the fish. Managed to try a sample with tartare sauce and it was delicious and I'm not a big fish fan.
Probably give the steak and fish an 8.5 with the chicken a 9 as it's one if the best we've found.
The desserts were amazing. I took a punt on a chocolate marquis. Had no idea what it was but it came with plum ice cream. NZ ice cream is amazing.
Same ice cream I had with mum as she was dying from cancer. As I said a bit more pouncy than our preference but I loved it. Wasn't to sweet and plum was a bit tart as it had a bit of fruit pulp or something on the plate as well.
Wife ordered her favorite of sticky date pudding. They're a bit hit or miss but this place piked in the caramel sauce. I prefer the "cake"part myself.
Probably give both desserts a 9/10. The sticky date was the best I've ever tried and as far as that dessert for 9.5 or maybe 10/10. The round bit the size of a muffin or cup decent sized cupcake.
Place was booked out. I can see why. Good beer in tap as well.
