The
cuisine
menu
was
adorned
with
an
array
of
Japanese-inspired
elements:
varsity
uses
of
miso,
fish
roe,
seaweed,
etc.
all
intricately
woven
into
the
dishes
to
add
nuanced
touches
rather
than
dominate,
maintaining
a
European
fusion
essence.
Started
with
an
exquisite
two-ways
of
Cornish
fish
appetizer,
which
was,
without
a
doubt,
my
highlight
of
the
evening.
The
warm
dish
was
a
marvel
of
texture
and
taste—tender
fish
enveloped
in
konbu
leaves,
roasted
to
achieve
a
perfect
balance
of
moisture
retention
and
flavor
infusion.
The
sauce
was
a
delicate
blend
of
fish
roe
and
seaweed
powder
that
enhanced
the
umami,
making
the
warm
dish
an
embrace
of
comfort.
The
cold
dish
offered
a
refreshing
contrast,
with
sashimi
brought
to
life
with
leeks
and
a
zesty
apple
sauce.
Continued
with
a
first
main
course
of
Iberico
pork,
showcasing
three
distinct
cuts—shoulder,
butt,
and
leg—drizzled
with
basil
leaf
oil.
The
dish
was
paired
with
a
non-alcoholic
drink
left
a
lingering
spiciness,
courtesy
of
jalapeño,
that
was
nothing
short
of
mesmerizing.
The
second
main
dish
scallop
sliced
and
accompanied
with
four
distinct
methods
of
swede
preparation.
Sourdough
and
beetroot
cream
cheese
came
to
transition
between
courses,
striking
a
rare
balance.
The
final
Lake
District
venison
served
a
decent
conclusion
to
the
main
courses,
although
didn't
quite
captivate
as
the
previous
dishes
had.
The
predessert
rejuvenated
the
tasting
experience—lemon
jelly
and
panne
cotta-alike
milk
custard
accompanied
by
a
trio
of
honey
and
fruits
embodies
a
balance
of
sweet
and
sour.
The
dessert,
ambitiously
combined
the
homemade
vanilla
ice
cream
and
hot
truffle
caramel
sauce,
was
a
bit
overwhelming,
at
least
to
our
tolerance.
The
intention
was
bold,
but
the
presence
of
black
truffle
felt
out
of
place,
casting
a
shadow
over
the
otherwise
harmonious
blend
of
red
beans
and
ice
cream.
Overall,
I
enjoy
the
boldness
of
experiencing
the
combination
of
different
flavours,
truest
adventurous
and
worth
trying🫶
