We were drawn to their menu which we had already reviewed online.
We knew what we wanted and what drinks we were going to try. They impressed us with their inventive cocktails.
So we ordered a post hibernation and peace prize - both of which we loved. The attention to detail was spot on! And immediately we decided we would be back - the combination of the glamorous decor, beautiful classy music and lovely cutlery/dishes etc...we were won over.
We also ordered mussels, steak tartar and oysters. I was expecting more of a flavour burst in the mussels- they seemed bland at first although they were cooked perfectly. The flavour was subtle and kinda grew on me. (I am used to mussels at Carderos- in a Thai curry broth) I wouldn t order them again at H though.
The oysters were good- my husbands were shucked oddly- he had pieces of shells in two of his. We were surprised to experience this here.
The tartare was good/tender but definitely too oniony.
We will go back for their signature drinks and maybe even the globe patio igloos. Really beautiful.
