The Tavern Pub & Restaurant

I made a reservation for two during restaurant week at this restaurant, The Tavern Pub & Restaurant. This place is well known and frequently patronised by the rich and famous. It has a cosy cottage decor that makes you feel at home. The waiters are also very attentive and always waiting to serve you. Hmm...maybe because the restaurant wasn't crowded that night. I ordered the set dinner which consists of an appetiser or soup, choice of main course and desserts followed by coffee or tea. For appetisers, we ordered the Salad with Smoked Chicken, the lettuce in the salad was nice and crisp and the dish was garnished with croutons. The Smoked Chicken is tender and very thinly sliced. Next was the Soursop Sorbet which was cold and refreshing to chill our palette. As for the main course, we ordered a Pasta with Prawn Cubes and a Ribeye Steak. The pasta was pretty normal cause I don't think it's their specialty. As for the steak, it was nicely grilled with a little charred taste giving it the original beefy taste, the steak was nice and juicy. The dessert was Chestnut Puree with Vanilla Ice Cream. I find the dessert very unique, the combination was a pleasant surprise when you coat the Chestnut Puree with Vanilla Ice Cream. A couple of their signature dishes that are highly recommended are the Pan-Fried Fresh Goose Liver, Australian Ribeye Steak and Raclette Cheese. However, I find that the price is kindof pricey, no wonder it's for the rich and famous.
