We came here without reservation, after a few minutes of waiting at the entrance I walked in to see if there were staff to assist. We were eventually seated at the bar counter, pro being you can converse with the staff and a con being not as comfortable and quite loud. In the same breath, the staff were brilliant in describing the food but at times it was difficult to hear what they just explained.
As we were here for food as well as drinks we went for their drinks matched dinner which took the effort out of ordering dishes ourselves and provided some value on the bottom line. I went for their boilermaker drinks matching purely because I was intrigued by mixing whisky and beer together. I can't say I can fully appreciate the pairings but it was interesting alternating drinks with food, starting from light and refreshing to hefty and full bodied (the stout was really choccy).
We start off with a charcuterie platter consisting of a lean wagyu bresaola drowned in red wine, pork neck (same preparation) and some wild boar salami. The bresaola didn't tickle me that much as I prefer more fat content on my cured meats. The platter came with the accompaniments of bread, pickles and jam.
In between courses we were given some tuna tartare which after a few bites thought it was over-seasoned, salty and too much wasabi/horseradish.
Mains were simple, basic technique and execution. Our grass fed porterhouse steak was cooked well and served up with sauteed mushrooms and cafe de Paris butter. Pink and fatty, a decent steak. The crispy skin pork belly was soft and the skin snappy. All of this was accompanied with mashed potatoes in gravy and some chive butter as well as root vegetable remoulade which I didn't think much of, rather bland.
Lastly was the cheese platter which consisted of delice des cremiers, bay of fires cheddar and a Roquefort blue. The soft cheese was a definite winner and silky in texture, the blue was very potent and paired well with the apple slices (more needed).
For drinks, cured meats and cheese this place has you covered with their impressive selection and knowledgeable staff to assist you. In relation to the main food, although it isn't all bad it's not a spot I'd go back as a dining destination. Seeing as it is affiliated with Mjolner and Eau de Vie (which we've been to) we expected more creativity in this department.
Great place. Amazing drinks. Raise your glasses with a toast to this place.
