love the idea of share plates. this was the first place that i experienced share plates, and it was overall a pleasant experience. the greatest con was the price for the quantity which was a little steep.
spice rubbed lamb rump; lamb was very soft and chewy, taste was infused lightly but nevertheless delicious. the tapenade a lovely touch, with an interesting texture (reminiscent of mince)-i was expecting mince.

chargrilled peppered beef sirloin; asked to be made medium rare, and it was prepped very nicely, a great assortment of sauces and vegetables. too bad the portion was the smallest out of the bunch yet the price was the steepest! the beef was soft and the vegetables not over cooked and well marinated with sauce. i just really didn’t have enough to eat.
8/10, 7/10 for lack of portion
roti pulledporksummer slaw; the dish in which i had the highest expectations but was the most disappointed. the pulledporkhad flavor but the meat itself was dry and a bit tough. the summer slaw was a bummer, nothing special about the slaw and i really did not want to be served rice at a european dining, and the vegetables on the side were very average. asian fusion? not a direction this restaurant should take.
6.5/10
fresh fish pan fried; lastly added this one on since we were still hungry. i hadn’t had high expectations but this really was the star of the show! the fish was delicious as was everything paired with it! the fish was soft and filled with moisture, tasted fresh and flavorful. the salad was also equally as delicious, the caper salsa and lemon flavors meshed so well together, paired with the bean and topped with almond, it was glorious! i loved it so much i even tried recreating the flavors and texture at home (with some lentils, spinach, and almonds).
