Anyway, we arrived at six and was told that we have the table only until 7:30. Luckily we can eat quite fast! Gaz chose the saganaki with peppered figs, beetroot salad and skewer of pork belly with fennel salad while I chose potatoes fried with olive oil and rosemary, and whole flathead from the grill.
The saganaki came first, on a hot plate. We both loved the fried cheese. The sweetness of the figs offsets the saltiness of the cheese with a tint of peppery taste. Nice combo.
The other dishes came a while later, during which I perved at the tall and muscular waiters. The waiters all seem to be so tall! And they wear tight short sleeve shirts and trousers which shows their muscles so well..
After about fifteen minutes, our dishes arrived at the same time. The pork belly skewers were four two inch cubes. They were tasty but the cuts we were given had a lot of fat.
The flathead was more work that we thought it would be. The first few bites were filled with little bones which immediately brought back memories of eating fish congee as a child. No, choking on fish congee would describe the memory better... The fish was grilled nicely and I enjoyed the walnut dressing scattered on the top of the fish.
I did not enjoy the beetroot salad though. It was me, not the beetroot though I did not think the sesame labna anything special. The last dish being fried potatoes was nothing I thought it would be... I had imagined small cubes of potatoes fried with oregano but it really was just hand cut fries. I thought the ones by Grill'd were better.
The food was good quality (with exception of the fatty pork, too fatty!) and well cooked but nothing we ate that night was so special to attract us to return.
