5/5 My Food & Drink L. 3 years ago on Google
We
started
with
a
complimentary
glass
of
champagne
while
we
sat
watching
the
chefs
spring
into
action.
They
were
all
wearing
face
masks
and
constantly
sanitising
their
hands.
At
this
time
we
were
presented
with
a
selection
of
three
snacks
while
we
looked
at
the
menu
which
was
either
the
short
five
course
or
the
longer
seven
course
Taste
of
Summer
Tasting
Menus.
We
not
only
chose
the
seven
course
but
also
one
of
us
chose
to
have
the
supplement
dishes.
So
now
back
to
the
snacks
which
were
delicious.
The
first
was
a
Seaweed
Meringue
with
Liver
Parfait
&
Lemon
Jelly.
The
second
was
a
Corn
,
Smoked
Eel
&
Szechuan
Pepper
Tartlet.
Then
finally
a
fresh
Trout
Doughnut
with
Vadouvan
Spices.
This
was
accompanied
with
a
Cucumber
&
Celery
consommé
to
refresh
our
palate.
We
were
then
treated
to
an
additional
delight
which
was
a
Langoustine
cooked
on
a
small
BBQ
box
and
served
with
a
fabulous
Lemon
Dressing
with
Plancton
Powder.
This
was
followed
by
another
little
surprise
as
head
chef
Marco
brought
over
the
Wagyu
Beef
Brescola
for
us
to
taste
as
well
as
some
breadsticks.
I
have
to
say
it
was
amazing
and
just
melted
in
the
mouth.
While
we
continued
watching
the
chefs
creating
these
amazing
dishes
it
was
time
to
enjoy
some
bread
and
the
fabulous
butter.
At
this
point
Mirko
introduced
us
to
his
chosen
bottle
of
wine
which
was
a
fantastic
San
Lorenzo
from
Le
Marche
made
with
100%
Verdicchio.
This
wine
was
pleasantly
fruity
and
floral
with
notes
of
pear,
almonds,
elderflower
and
lime.
Now
it
was
time
to
move
onto
the
first
courses
of
the
Tasting
Menu.
My
wife
had
the
Crab
with
brown
&
spider
crabs
,
pomelo
&
lampong
pepper.
For
myself
I
chose
the
first
of
the
supplement
dishes
of
Caviar
with
Scottish
Langoustine
,
melon
,
samphire
&
ponzu
that
was
absolutely
stunning.
This
was
followed
by
the
Westcombe
Ricotta
with
tomato
,
celery
,
spinach
&
bellota
consommé
that
was
heaven.
This
led
us
onto
another
nice
surprise
from
chef
as
we
were
given
an
extra
course
of
Foie
Gras
with
plum
,
sancho
pepper
,
koji
rice
&
sake
that
balanced
the
richness
of
the
foie
gras
perfectly.
Next
to
arrive
was
a
fantastic
XXL
Scallop
with
tandoori
spices
,
carrot
,
citrus
&
coriander.
This
led
us
to
the
next
course
a
Red
Mullet
with
courgette
,
olives
&
gremolata
which
was
yet
another
delightfully
balanced
plate
of
food.
It
was
now
time
to
move
on
to
the
main
courses
and
the
second
supplemented
dish
of
Wagyu
Beef
with
aubergine
,
herbs
and
flowers
,
fermented
pepper
and
a
bordelaise
sauce.
This
was
without
doubt
one
of
the
best
plates
of
food
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
eating.
The
other
dish
was
the
fabulous
Grouse
with
beetroot
,
fig
&
mexican
mole.
These
dishes
were
perfectly
matched
with
two
fabulous
red
wines
chosen
by
Mirko.
Next
to
come
was
the
Cheese
Course
a
fantastic
Ardi
Gasna
from
the
French
Pyrenees
by
the
Benat
Fromagerie
before
moving
on
to
the
pre
dessert
of
Raspberry
with
bay
,
pumpkin
seed
&
raspberry
vinegar.
This
led
us
to
a
fantastic
Chocolate
dessert
with
buttermilk
,
tarragon
&
lemon
which
was
paired
perfectly
once
again
with
a
delightfully
sweet
Castella
di
Monsanto
Vin
Santo.
I
was
then
in
for
a
big
surprise
as
I
was
presented
with
a
little
birthday
dessert
along
with
the
team
standing
in
front
of
us
singing
a
belated
happy
birthday
to
me.
We
finished
with
coffee
and
petit
fours
to
bring
to
an
end
a
fantastic
dining
experience
Thank
You
to
Mirko
team
for
this
amopportunity
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
again
soon
