Atlas Room

On Saturday we dined at the Atlas Room and enjoyed one of the best meals we've had all year. We started with a Blood & Sand, described as having "The Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky, Carpano Italian Vermouth, Cherry Heering, Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice."  We then shared the seafood stew, with cobia, barramundi, shrimp, clams, and majoram cream. All I can say is that it was delectable.  Then we also shared the flatbread with spiced butternut squash puree, goat cheese, and parsely/herb gremalata.  Oh gosh that squash was perfect.  We also shared the lamb duo, described as "saddle and top round, crackling, sauteed mushrooms, fingerling potato, and broccoli rabe." Yum. Almost as good as the Australian embassy lamb!  We also shared a tort/chocolately/wafery dessert.

So good. Great service, a perfect cocktail, and terrific food. We'll be back.
