It has been a while since D and I had time for dinner together. I was needing a break from stuff and he happened to be available so off to Graze at Martin No. 38 we went.
First, let me talk about the interior design because I REALLY like it. To put it simply, it was modern chic with an understated style. The overall design and color theme are so clean and neat - grey, with touches of white and black. Besides, open kitchens are so yesterday and I dig the enclosed kitchen sans the service window. The icing on the cake? The lovely big and long island that served as a service station. Ah, such a dream kitchen :)
The lone flower on the dining table appealed to the girlish side of me. Water glasses are branded Acqua Panna, and they have a really unique shape that ooze coolness.
Enough about the design and onto the food. I was, for God-knows-what reason, craving for
Caesar's salad. The good about the salad? Two substantial slices of fragrant garlic butter toast and the fact that the leaves weren't overdressed / overcreamy. The rest was rather forgettable. Still it satisfied my odd salad craving.
The barramundi was a surprisingly good dish. The skin was uber crispy, yet the fish remained moist and tender, not overcooked at all. The ample vegetables at the bottom adopted an Asian slant, mainly pea and bean sprouts. The creamy green chili almond mayo was a little overwhelming just by the sheer quantity served but little bits of it did add complementary flavors to the dish.
I suppose the restaurant would be such a lovely place in the day, with daylight coming in.
