10/10
I had an incredible dining experience that started strong with the Garden City Sling. This cocktail was not only beautifully presented—with a dramatic touch of dry ice and orchid water—but it also tasted as lovely as it looked. The drink had a sweet, subtle flavour profile with floral notes, and the alcohol was perfectly balanced, enhancing rather than overpowering the experience. Easily a 10/10.
For my main, I ordered the duck confit with foie gras, and it did not disappoint. The foie gras was expertly cooked—rich and creamy without being overly gamey—while the duck confit was tender, flavourful, and fell effortlessly off the bone. What truly tied the dish together was the mandarin orange salsa. Its tangy, slightly acidic profile cut through the richness beautifully, adding a fresh brightness to an already delicious plate.
A beautifully balanced meal, both in taste and presentation. I’d definitely return.
