Frustrated with waiting for waiters, Potter and Hunwick (physics graduates) teamed up to develop an electro-ordering system using Bluetooth and projection technologies. The result: A 60 cover, interactive dining experience where a table based touch pad allows you choose your own digital table cloth, order from a visual menu projecting actual size images and even print your own cheque! And just to make sure you’re not left in the lurch when it comes time to leave, you can browse the tube map and local taxi booking services while you eat.
Head chef, Anthony Sousa Tam – of Nobu and Hakkasan fame – has created an Asian fusion menu exploding with unique flavours like a ginger and pomegranate reduction, hijiki seaweed, yuzu soy, truffle and spicy chocolate sauce. With over 30 dishes, available in small and large portions, diners are spoiled for choice.
But we were there for the free drinks. Their basement bar – albeit a little cramped – offers an extensive cocktail list, thus inspiring my new signature drink, a Green Tea Bellini (deliciously ripe pear puree topped with chilled green tea and prosecco and served in a champagne flute) while its striking red-light walls and leather poofs create an intimate atmosphere, perfect for a first date or after work drinks with your besties.
Boyfriend and I happily got tippled-pink and are already contemplating our next visit. I’m hungering for Wild Boar rolls with asparagus, enoki mushrooms and moromi miso vinaigrette.
