18th June 2011
With my parents in town i decided to meet them for lunch on Saturday. They were staying at the Hilton at South wharf and having come down from Brisbane were not comfortable with the temperature so did not want to venture too far from the hotel. Also they had heard that the restaurant in the hotel was nice. It was in the good food guide even if it didn't receive a hat. At lunch the restaurant wasn't technically open but the wine bar served the same menu in a more relaxed atmosphere.
I choose the beef cheek cooked in red wine with an olive mash and roasted squash. A huge beef cheek (not sure how big the cow who has this size cheek is) that fell apart reasonably well. The beef cheek was not as good as the one i had at Maze but was still good.
I also has a desert tasting plate of raspberry sorbet (strong flavour and good texture), a sesame and mint cigar (crisp sesame and a hint of mint casing filled with a cream filling) and chocolate bread (a crisp brioche with a chocolate mousse).
Good food but a step below the Hat Restaurants i have visited so far.
