or
Duck Cigar, Black Garlic & Onion Ash.
Crispy duck rolled into a cigar with black garlic and finished with onion ash. Rich. Smoky. The dish that makes every other table lean over and ask what it is.
or
Prawn Cocktail, American Cocktail Sauce & Gem Lettuce.
A classic - with plump, fresh local prawns, a sharp cocktail sauce with a little heat, crisp gem lettuce underneath.
Mains (choice of):
Glacier 51 Toothfish, Peas, Lemon & Velouté.
One of the most prized fish on earth - harvested from sub-Antarctic waters near Heard Island, 51 degrees south. Buttery. Tender. With a silky velouté and the brightness of lemon and peas cutting through. If you've never had Glacier 51 Toothfish before... this will be your moment… unless you just can’t say ‘no’ to…
or
Wagyu Denver Cut, Potato Fondant & Sauce Bordelaise.
The Denver cut is one of the most underrated cuts on a Wagyu. Beautifully marbled. Deeply savoury. Paired with a classic Bordelaise - rich bone marrow and red wine reduction - and a potato fondant that dissolves the moment a fork touches it.
or
Torbay Asparagus, Black Barley, Nasturtium & Broad Beans.
New season asparagus with a precision and creativity that makes this the dish both vegetarians and carnivores will be talking about on the way home.
House Salad
Dessert:
New York Baked Cheesecake
Caviar (also available):
🥄 Bumps - White Sturgeon
🥄 10g Tin - Black Pearl Oscietra Gold
