I think it shows that I haven't been back for another Winter Feasts attempt, too. <strong>Powered by Tofu</strong>: Putting stuff on the rim on the plate is so tacky! <strong>Syrie</strong>: Oh, both my seafood dishes were swimming in butter, I yearned for something to soak it up with. Did you do the winter feast or was this from the regular menu? <strong>Shez</strong>: Yeah, it is pretty disappointing as now I don't really want to go there for the a a la carte menu because of this very average experience. Not what was intended from this promotion, I'm sure.

Small-ish courses and not anywhere near as much panache with the flavour and seasoning as we experienced the first time we went when it first opened. Sad, because oh-my-goodness some of the a la carte options are just divine. I heard similarly from my little sis who went there for the Winter Feasts menu with her friends.

I found that they doused everything in way too much olive oil or butter. Each course was literally swimming in one or the other or both. <abbr><em>Syrie’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TasteBuddies/~3/IjIgEHajJ70/sliverbeet-and-chickpeas.html" rel="nofollow">Sauteed Silver Beet with Chickpeas & Fried Bread</a></abbr></em> I went to Ucello’s recently to be be really honest I was not that impressed.

The chocolate on the rim is my pet peeve too, I hate it when they do that with icing sugar as well. I totally agree with you, I think I would be willing to pay $50 rather than $35 if I felt like I was getting something closer the quality that the restaurant would normally serve rather than a totally cheaped up version. <abbr><em>Steph’s last blog post..<a href="http://raspberricupcakes.blogspot.com/2009/07/blancharu-elizabeth-bay.html" rel="nofollow">Blancharu, Elizabeth Bay</a></abbr></em> That fish looks teeny!
