« Reviews on Painted Platters
Jul 26, 2007
Just desserts...
Must agree with the rest here that while the Lavelle Road place scores on ambience and setting (the tablecloths could do with a washing, though), the choice in terms of dessert menu was a let-down. Yeah, the menu comes to you like a Rolling Stones 4-CD box pack with a tongue-in-cheeky '20 Licks' emblazoned on the cover. You proceed to open the box to find the menu distributed across the faces of 4 CDs.
"Sorry sir, we don't have anything in sundaes and out of the remaining, we have (pointing at the menu) this, this, this and this..."
Ah well, we settled for the Champagne & Berry Mousse and the Tiramisu. Nice, light and fluffy, both with appropriate dribblings of some unidentifiable fruit sauce on the plate - hey, they're not called 'Painted Platter' for nothing. :) The cake / shortbread base on which both desserts rested could have been a little fresher though. The middle layer of the Tiramisu had a nice kick to it and the c&b mousse had a nice zing to it all through my 6 spoonfuls.
Came away pretty satisfied.
PS: When you ask them for water, make sure you tell them that regular water will do, if it'll do. We asked for water and were promptly billed for a bottle of Aquafina.
