The place had a warm and vibrant vibe to it. It was hip and quite crowded for a Wednesday night. Service was prompt and professional. Our server was very friendly.
The special for the night was braised beef ravioli, but it sounded too heavy for me, so I decided to have two "plates" instead.
Ever since I saw that episode of Cutthroat Kitchen I've always wanted to try a scotch egg. I thought it was supposed to be just an egg wrapped in sausage meat but the taste was kind of metallic and "fishy". I have a feeling the egg was cooked a bit too much. The sauce it came with was really good though. It kind of reminded me of a tartar sauce and helped to balance out the strange taste of the egg.
I also decided to try the Rabbit Terrine because, how often do I get to eat rabbit? It tasted fine, a lot of seasoning and flavour. I had hoped that it would be more spreadable and creamy. The pickles and the mustard together with the rabbit gave it a good complex flavour.
As dessert I had the chocolate and almond cake. The cake itself was quite dense and a bit dry. The whipped cream was a great addition and added a bit of lightness to the bite. Altogether, it had a great nutty taste.
All in all, I had quite a good time. The server never hurried us when we were finished eating. We even got our water refilled quite a few times. I may go back, but I'd definitely recommend trying it out.
