This is a relatively basic and unremarkable dish. On the positive side, the shrimp is not fishy. It’s well-cooked. But other than the enjoyable sweet chili sauce, there’s not a lot going on here. The vegetables are bad — they’re kind of soggy and don’t have a good flavor. Five shrimp for $7 is a decent value, but this still gets a low rating.

The meat was rare. It was soft, tender, and fell apart when we cut it. It had a great flavor with a good lamb note, although the mint pesto was strong (and delicious). We were disappointed that the “potato crunchies” turned out to be crushed up potato chips, and not in very small pieces. They did add a nice bit of salt and crunch though. Overall, this was a really delicious dish, especially if you enjoy rare meat. If you don’t, this may be a dish to pass up. With the sauce, it was a little greasy, so be sure to grab some napkins. We won’t judge you if you lick your plate clean!

The flavors in this dish are good. The berries were fresh and tasty, and the whipped cream was standard, but the meringue was tough and off-putting. We do not feel this really works as an overall dish.
