Dessert: We were rather full and so decided to split one dessert from the very short list of possibilities that were recited by our waitress. We chose a steamed chocolate cake with dehydrated orange etc. (I cannot recall the exact description and didn’t want to be writing stuff down as she was talking). This was a complete and utter disaster. I suspect it was meant to be a “deconstructed” presentation but the cake arrived looking like it had been salvaged from the jaws of a starved terrier: four chunks of dried and crumbly chocolate cake that I would have been ashamed to have produced were strewn across a plate with various accoutrements of orange subjected to an amateur chemistry set. I was hoping someone would ask me how we enjoyed it so I could have told them but they didn’t ask. We did not finish it.
