We ordered the 'Leave it to Us' $95 per person. We had been to Sherwood before and had a great meal and were looking to relive the experience. We couldn't have been more disappointed. We started with flat bread, it was hot around the edges...and cold in the middle. Then we moved onto the 'snacks',
1. Salt baked golden beets, navel orange, fennel, buckwheat - Ok but not wow
2. Smoked warehou croquettes, salt & vinegar - flavourless
3. Chicken oyster skewers, bbq laque, sage - could have got better from the local takeaway
I think there was something else but obviously not memorable
We were warned there would be a lot of food and we were comfortable with that, however, it all came out at once, no respite between courses, no time to savour the flavours
Then came the large Plate
1. Lumina lamb shoulder to share - nothing special
2. Carrots, tahini dressing, dukkah seeds - delicious
3. Cos lettuce, buttermilk, garden radish, sprouts - ok
4. Twice cooked potatoes, garlic sour cream, chilli salt - I think they were twice deep fried and no garlic sour cream.
No sooner had we finished the main event - the waitstaff were rushing us to have desert
Desert - Panna Cotta, with berries and shaved ice - absolutely delicious but couldn't compensate for a disappointing eating exprience.
To be honest I could cook better at home!More
