A Little Of What You Fancy

What a wonderful evening and I couldn't fancy it more. Most memorable is the food itself -- incredibly fresh and delightfully delicious, the menu presenting a wide range of options and preparations. I'm looking forward to going back and trying many more things. The pan fried cod with new potatoes and salsa verde was divine and showed tremendous attention to detail and expertise with the technique. The fish skin was perfectly seared while the white meat retained its soft and juicy texture. The salsa verde was like an ambrosia, a wonderful combination of herby, savoury and lemony. What I couldn't eat with the fish I dragged the potatoes through, ensuring a properly cleaned plate by the end. The sticky toffee pudding trumps any I've had in the country. Served at the perfect warm temperature with a generous helping of butterscotch sauce, the texture was absolutely perfect -- my spoon breezed through like an aeroplane parting the clouds. The staff was very warm and helpful with the menu. In particular they made accommodations at the last minute for my vegan friend with a lovely potato rosti, stacked high with an assemblage of fresh vegetables that she gobbled up in a similarly determined fashion. I'm very happy to know there's somewhere so nice -- and of great value -- in Dalston/Haggerston. Thank you very much!
