🤢 2/5 - Impersonating fine dining

The restaurant has an urban pop up vibe. Nice enough but rough round the edges, more fitting a posh burger joint than fine dining. We had the signature tasting menu which comprised of 2 starters, 1 main, 2 puddings with a snack course to start. We also had an additional cheese course to follow the main. The snack course was a KFC style breaded deep fried chicken. It was presented in a fun miniature bucket but other than that offered little to justify why it was there, (I could have had any oven or fried chicken for the same or better) and was greasy. A char siu pineapple which was nice (it's pineapple) but the Char siu flavours were non existent. Bread and butter, the bread was of a donut consistency and was very nice paired with the butter. There was the house soup which lacked any flavour and was more akin to a used finger dipping bowl when eating spare ribs than a soup. There was another pot of savoury custard, which was very nice, it would have been better to have more of that and dump the soup. 5/10 The first starter was a smoked cabbage and sauce. It was nice but the cabbage had a fibrous outer layer and any smoked flavour didn't come through. It was also just a cabbage. 5/10 Second was a crab dish. A crab oil cooked nan bread with a crab custard and a pot of crab stuff. This was by far the highlight of the night. The custard with the bread was amazing and the pot of crab stuff added to it well. 8/10 (a side note and not incorporated into the score as I can't prove it, but observing the chef assembling the dish It very much looked like he tasted the crab which is used for the small pots then used the same spoon to fill the pots for our and another table. Not impressed) The main was chicken with Thai green curry sauce and courgette with courgette puree. Chicken was well cooked and tasty, the green curry sauce was nice but the courgette was hard and the puree again, was lost against the strength of the green curry. The dish had some strengths but was very uninspired (green curry seems to be everywhere at the moment). 6/10 The next was a cheese course add-on, warmed brie over a date bread with truffle. This actually worked really well and straddled between savoury and sweet. Shame that it isn't part of the taster and cost another £15 each to enjoy. 6/10 The first pudding was a pear and Parma ham thing. Worked okay but wasn't anything amazing in the technical or flavour department 4/10 The last pudding was a dark chocolate moose with an orange topping and olive oil cake. Moose was nice, shame there wasn't more of the cake to make it stand out against the dark chocolate. Again though, not a very original take. 5/10 Wine pairing- each selection was nice and on the whole went well with the courses. But, and it is a big BUT, for £85 for 5 glasses I struggle to find the justification for that price, which is more than the actual the food. So on the whole a painfully mediocre affair with okay but uninspired dishes, lacking the flare, premium ingredients, refinement or technical complexity (not even including a possible hygiene misdemeanor) to push it any higher than just an okay amateur fine dining experience. One definitely that doesn't justify it's price tag. I'd stick to the other far superior restaurants dotted around the city.
