Meat Wine & Co

I attended a birthday dinner @ the Meat Wine & Co last week, we had a set meal already planned for us, which consisted of a selection of entree (garlic bread and mixed ribs), mains of either Angus Steak, chicken Skewers, Salmon Skewers and vegetarian pasta. Dessert was a selection of either Creme Brulee or Pecan Pie.

The Entree of garlic bread was nothing to rave about, toasted bread smeared with garlic butter, neither tasty nor bad. While, the entree of mixed ribs ( lamb, pork, beef) were pretty average, apart from the pork ribs which were a hit on the table.

I ordered the angus steak for the mains (what else?), 120 days grain fed beefy goodness was cooked to my liking, it was rich and succulent and served with the obligatory chips! We were also served a selection of sauces that we could choose from( peppercorn, garlic, mustard, etc)

To cap it off, the desserts were served and needlessly presented in an outlandish manner.

Creme Brulee- It was not good at all, the custard was disappointingly bland. It was boring. In addition, the sad looking pastries at the other end of the plate, really did not do anything to the dish.

Creme Brulee

Pecan Pie- It was surprisingly good, nutty, savoury goodness topped with chunky malt ice cream and caramel gave. It was a fine end to an enjoyable dinner.
