sunday supper.

went to supper with liz and erica for their sunday supper, which happens on the first sunday of every month. its $35 for a 3 course dinner, the only catch being that the food is served at 7p (so you can't come later or too much earlier) and you don't get to choose what you eat, or even know in advance what it will be [correction: they post the menu online beforehand, but i failed to notice that earlier]. however, the food is amazing and the portions are very filling - whereas normally they specialize in 'small plates' - so it is a great deal. they even come around asking if you want seconds of everything, and while we didn't stay long enough for this, it is rumored that afterwards they give you take-out boxes filled with their leftovers.

the menu is as follows:

first course
rocket salad with roasted beets and stilton

entree
roast beef with natural au jus
parsley and horseradish condiment
glazed carrots
potato and celery root puree
yorkshire pudding

dessert
sticky toffee bread pudding
rum raisin ice cream

my one complaint was that their salad had too much beet and not enough of the salad. other than that, everything was excellent. the roast beef was juicy, the carrots sweet, the bread pudding soft but firm and crunchy on top, and the rum raisin ice cream was very very rum-y. i definitely ate more than i should have, without having asked for seconds, and left nothing on my plate. the next sunday supper is on my birthday and i'm very tempted to go again. mmm!
