Etta is a novel eating theatre closed yesteryear where nosotros live, but nosotros accept Tash to give cheers for alerting us to its opening in addition to booking us inwards to endeavour it out together. While a duo of paper articles accept insisted that it's non fine dining similar the co-owners' yesteryear businesses, nosotros remember Etta looks pretty fancy! There's a sparkly bar upwards front, a dimly lit dining room out back, seasonal ingredient-focused carte at special-occasion prices, in addition to first-class service throughout. We saw enough of veg-friendly dishes listed across the menu, but agreed to position ourselves inwards the chef's manus for $60 per person.
Another signifier of fine dining is starting a repast amongst the best staff of life in addition to butter. Etta delivered soundly on this, amongst crunchy-crusted pillow-soft sourdough in addition to a memorable burnt butter that could but virtually endure served for dessert. Rather, it was served amongst roughly refreshing pickled vegetables in addition to a lovely macadamia-based condiment; the cabbage was sprinkled amongst a furikake that reminded me happily of Twisties. This appetising spread was a repast highlight for me.
Our minute course of pedagogy comprised iii dishes: a smoky beetroot carpaccio arranged over miso chimichurri in addition to walnuts (above left), Michael's favourite tamari-roasted buttercup pumpkin sprinkled amongst sunflowers in addition to dill (above centre), in addition to novel flavour peas amongst stracciatella in addition to Sichuan (pepper, I assume!).
The 3rd course of pedagogy of savoury dishes was but a lilliputian heftier: Tash's favourite mushrooms la greque on a smoked tofu puree (above left), fettucine amongst public artichokes, hazelnut in addition to sage (above centre), in addition to a side of light-green asparagus seasoned amongst furikake (less Twistie-flavoured here).
For dessert, nosotros were served roasted banana icecream amongst kokosnoot mousse, jelly in addition to a salty peanut-coconut crumble. Roasting meant the banana flavour was concentrated in addition to a flake much for Michael, but I enjoyed it really much; the salted peanut crunches inwards the crumble were what made this dish special.
This was a repast of high lineament in addition to high consistency, equally demonstrated yesteryear our differing favourites; it was alone our private constituent hang-ups (rubbery mushrooms for me, bananas for Michael) that occasionally disrupted our enjoyment. Since a lot of dishes contained dairy we're unsure what a vegan carte mightiness await like, but the flexible 'leave it to us' selection in addition to the enthusiastic role of vegetables (and a flake of tofu) exit us optimistic. We catch coeliacs volition produce good too.
Service was eager in addition to accessible whenever nosotros needed it. We experience similarly eager to furnish amongst the alter of the seasons in addition to honor to a greater extent than of what Etta tin do.
