[Ducky]

Had dinner at Parkside last night, and even during DineOut Parkside has yet to disappoint me. Too lazy to go into much detail...we had the following:

-A bottle of D’ Arenberg Custodian Grenache 2005, a very easy drinking red wine. The same bottle I always order at Parkside, but I believe previously it was an '02.

Appetizers:
-Clear tomato minestrone, goat cheese ravioli: Good portion, nice and light. You could def. taste the goat cheese.
-Gulf prawns, orange, fennel, pork cheek bacon, black olive: Okay but portion was too small.

Mains:
-Saddle of rabbit, mushroom duxelles, petit pois, Parmesan sauce: Extremely tender and flavorful, it was parmesan foam rather than sauce and worked perfectly with the rabbit.
-36 hour low temperature short rib, horseradish pomme purée, Yorkshire pudding, onion rings, beef jus: Good dish.

Dessert
-Lemon tart brûlée: Nothing much I can say other than a good lemon tart.
-Sorbets: blood orange & campari, mango & basil, yogurt & vanilla: All were good but our favorite but the yogurt & vanilla.

We were there for almost 3 hours, we did not feel rushed and the service was attentive and courteous.
