Saturday night we went to Sprout in Auchenflower. Lovely little place in the heart of Auchenflower. Next to a Thai restaurant and a friendly Grocer you find Sprout. Interior is right up my alley. Red thick curtains, light floorboards, French country chunky tables mixed with Kartell Ghost inspired chairs. Modern, funky and light and airy.
The service was good, we were looked after well and had the right amount of ‘how are you going’-type of questions. Our waiter was French, which also helps with it all, it all just seems nicer and let’s face it, all menus sound better in French!
Food. Hm, ok, it was good. Not great though. I guess after Aria a week ago, it is tough to eat and not compare! My starter (grilled haloumi) was not warm enough and the bread a bit too hard. My main, the Barramundi, was however fabulous. The dessert (Cheese platter) was dull.... J had a homemade gnocci that he raved about but was not impressed by the cheese either. Clair and Paul pretty much had the same thoughts as us even though Paul really loved the kangaroo with chocolate sauce (entre) and Clair really enjoyed the brazzo mercedes, which to be fair looked yummy!
Big minus - only BYO !
This is how we voted (out of 10):
Food: 7
Service: 8
Ambiance: 8
Will keep you posted on the Food Safar next year!
Boring haloumi however the combo, with watermelon really made it better than it was!
