After an evening enjoying "Bach meets Jazz" at the Barbican, I decided to dine here.
First Impressions:
It’s always a good sign when you are greeted with the words ‘Don’t take too long’!
it’s a very clean, cavern style dining area. The room is deserted and it’s a Saturday night! The decor resembles a new build home. The vibe is strange as they don’t play any Muzak. Instead you are treated to sounds of stand up comedy from the kitchen, performed by the chef!
Starters:
We are treated to bland Papadums and an average pickle tray.
Mains:
Fans of the Bill Evans album ‘Trio 65’ can now order a dish of the same name; ’Chicken 65’ is a specialty here! I also ordered a Salmon Marsala.
The chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste but the poultry was excellent. The Salmon Marsala was spicy but seemed to lack authenticity. The dish was playing on the strengths of the fish rather than the ensemble. Both dishes arrived on a guitar pick shaped dish! The portion of rice and naan were definitely for a smaller breed of man!
The Verdict :
Average prices and above average food, but nothing special here.
