First time I haven't had to explain the difference between lactose intolerance and dairy protein allergy. He earned the big tip there... They were closing their kitchen but said no problem. Between us we ate everything on the meat list and it was all very good. The flavours are complex and exquisitely paired. It's as good as my favourite Michelin star restaurant back home.

Amazing sashimi salmon ruined by some weird flour just to name one. The cocktails were supposed to be twists of modern classics, but they mostly just missed the mark and became worse versions of the originals. I think they're just trying too hard, but if they can sort out what to do with their solid foundation I think there's a lot...
