Brinkley's Review

The former Bar Martignetti turns British with a great space and menu makeover. Same ownership, new atmosphere. I have been stalking the new opening as the former had an amazing menu. Having only been open a week or two you can tell they are still tweaking some things.
The food was outstanding. Very British Pub like food takes a deconstructed gourmet approach yet keeping is simple and comforting. Overall dimly lit and great for a date.

No pictures here but a sample of what we ate:

Small Plate: Zucchini Carbonera
The zuchinni strings severed as the "pasta" with a light creame sauce, bacon and a poached egg on top. Creative!

Large Plate: Stilton and Pork Sausage with Bubble & Squeak
First of all, the best sausage I have ever tasted. The stilton is in the sausage!! Bubble and squeak! I love the name. It is cabbage with bacon and potatoes. The dish was very flavorful and a touch spicy. But gooooood.

Desert: Battered Mars Bar with Vanilla Ice Cream
The deep fried candy bar is delish! The batter tastes like funnel cake and the candy bar gets all mushy and warm. The vanilla ice cream definitley has a hint of strawberry. Tastes like strawberry cereal milk. I would go back for this.
