Had a quick dinner here with 4 U.S. visitors (quick cos 2 of us had to dash over to the Opera House afterwards for the Cork Film Festival). Would love to have lingered longer over the food and the excellent company. The staff were very accommodating with two of us in a rush and did their best to be as speedy as possible.
We skipped starters. J. and I both went for the chilli and lime sea bass with cauliflower risotto and wilted rocket. The fish was divine and the risotto deliciously creamy. No need for the edible rose on the plate though. H. had the Seafood Bouillabaisse, a huge bowl of various fish/shellfish. The two golfing latecomers went for the Wexford lamb and Kentucky Bourbon BBQ Rib-eye, and both were delighted with their choice.
Rarely one to pass on dessert, I had the white chocolate and raspberry tart. The sweetness of the chocolate was very, very nicely countered by the tartness of the raspberries. M. decided to go for the chocolate bomb with caramel cream (the waitress advised it would take 15 mins), it was well worth the wait - warm, moist, light as a feather - we all had a taste, and the tart did the rounds as well. Need I say more?
