Ingleside does a great job of bringing together interesting techniques without making the dishes feel overly complicated.

The shio koji-marinated Tajima Wagyu Picanha had a deep, well-rounded flavour, complemented by the slow-roasted banana shallot. The two-day dry-aged Channel Rockfish was especially impressive, with a clean texture and layers of umami from the roasted chicken garum, herb and anchovy sauce.

The sourdough and miso fermented butter set the tone nicely at the start of the meal, while the lemon ginger spritz provided a bright and refreshing balance throughout. A creative and well-executed dining experience.
