"This rather famous little hotel (of 2 rooms is located on a pier type outcrop and has become a sort of foodie experience, doing interesting things with food (with a level of success being subject to the individual palate and charging appropriately. We called in for lunch and were the only diners present, hence getting a table was not to difficult an issue, prior to being served by the infamous Carlos (who is nearly as well know as the hotel itself We were presented with the traditional bread with a very interesting beetroot butter and black garlic aioli, prior to (on the recommendation of Carlos ordering the tuna dish, which comprises of two strips of raw tuna with a receptacle of boiling hot oil which is to be poured over the tuna to par cook it. I eat a lot of fish, including lots of sushi and personally thought that interesting as the dish was, it didn't really work that well, it was neither here nor there, neither cooked nor raw and very oily due to the process described and tuna being a naturally oily fish. The dish was accompanied by interesting black salt flakes and some green veg. We also order prawn tempura which consisted of good meaty prawns in a number of different tempura wraps. On completion we were each presented with a complementary pear sorbet, perfectly portioned and which for a small dish was packed full of flavour, forming a perfect conclusion to the meal. The meal was a pleasant experience complemented by the attentive Carlos, however it was expensive and whilst I am very glad I experienced it, I'm not at all sure that I would be a returning diner."
