Last Saturday, hot and tired from spending time at the Dragon Boat Festival, we sought an oasis, a refuge from the assault of overwhelming heat. We found it at 379 George Street. Cool and calming, Splice Lounge is a beautifully designed restaurant with a prominent bar and gorgeous leather banquettes from which you can sit and observe the world.
We sat. I ordered a vodka martini. The server asked me if I wanted that dry or extra dry. Heaven. Someone who knows how it should be done. For lunch, I had the butter chicken pizza with chickpea salad. It was everything I needed in a light but satisfying lunch. Pierre had Chef Ashley's rendition of Fish & Chips. Instead of the big slab of beer battered fish, these delicate pieces of halibut were encrusted with Panko crumbs and served with delicate frites and a warm and spicy wasabi tartar sauce. It was perfect.
A light lemony dacquois dessert, with 2 Americano coffees put the final touches on an excellent meal. We'll definitely be back for more!
